Ea Ea A ii I lebtisPotittilla sense. A Prue Essay, by EL Cox, roruhnsedfront the Journal of the *Royal ifgriftriturai Society ofEngland. We shall attempt to give only a brief abstract of thisessay ; though we ate inclined to give more, in 4asmuch as there is a genets' accordance of the . I views of this' writer with our own, as our friends and readers will observe by comparing it drab Ake' we have said and.written during three years in -which this purred has been published. We hare -la4evir, only slight attachments to the theory here in maintained, and are ready to embrace any other when its merits are batted od a foundation suffi ciently ktbstantiat: , :The author Commendes by saying, that the fail. ure of the potato - crop in .1845, bas gWel rise to many d eories as lb its calve, some imagining that it was a futigus, while others contend that it was caused by atmospheric influences; this latter is the view the author maintains, principally on the ground that many other vegetables were affected by a'similar disease at tlicsame ume, citing in tins connection, the ash, oak, poplar, hazel, the vine, ripple, pertt and plum ; but particularly the walnut, • the Frond; bean, mangle wurtzel, carrots and fur. nips. In She case of the walnut, itgave out of two bushels of fruit not a single nut, but that 'exhibited signs cf disease. Its leaves also exhibit4d thesym toms of disease. All the earlier varieties of turnips decayed la the top ; the Swedes were affected al most CO witch as the potatoes, the orange globe mange, wurtzel were affected in the proportion of one in five' carrots at the tate of one in eight. Mr! Cox then proceeds to state other facts in regard to the dikase, and shows that certain varieties Were leas subject to it than others, and especially...flame which were nearly mature at the time whi3ll the supposed cause begt,'m to operate, and cites the ash-leaf kidney, which was dug'the first week in August, and no symtoms of disease appeared in them. On the contrary those which were a month or six Weeks later, and were dug earlier in Septem ber were nearly lost. Ia the first week of April, our atithor planted a piece with second early kinds, called prolrftc and a few china orange potatoes. The rows ran north and south; one end running up a steepish bank, the other decending into a damp peat. The higher parts of the field were poorer than the lower; the potatoes on, the latter grew luxuriant and -rank, and edveredthe ground, so that no air could circulate ampng them. Now the . rate at which the ends were affected, was as follows; those upon the upper and-poorer soil were affected at the rate of one iu . twenty-seven : those at the lower end, in the rich ground at the rate of four. The affection is first ap pears in a brown spot where the tuber is connected with haulm. To ascertain which were diseased, the author sliced off a portion at-this extremity from which a practical hint- is given : viz., 'to save from entire , loss, ascertain in this way the part of the diseased condition, and use them before they have affected the tuber to any important extent: by select ing for keeping those which are diseased a great sa • vine is effected, Of the cause of the disease in 1845, Mr.' Cox believes that the cold damp weath er in die latter part ofJuly and first of August when it is usually dry, and. which . was succeeded by hot sultry weather, had much to do in causing the 'die eaie-of that year. The disease is considered as sim- ply a decay which began in the stalks' ; The author next proceeds to consider: 1- - To choose dry ground which is not over-rich ; -Ahis precaution is regarded as one of great impor tance. 3. Choose manures which do not ferment readily, as charcoal dust, peat a.shes arc. An experiment detailed at some length, shows the great advantage of charcoal and peat ashes, over guano, cow dung, 1 • horse: dtmg, Ece.. 4. Give plenty of room- that air may circulate thrpugh.the crop. The - antlibr decidedly discouratis autumn plan tilig, atillerbeen recommended by some writer*. Taking storing.—Let potatoes be harvest ed in dry - weather, if for planting they may he three dayston the ground ; but if designed for eating, they should not lie longer than three or four hours.— They should be pat in a dry situation, as under a shed, and if they tie'thick shotild be turned to pre vent!fermentation, and while here the diseased ones are picked out. The potatoes should afterwards be stored in a dark and moderately damp place, so damp at least as not to generate any dust on the bot tom of .the store house. A store house expressly for their preservation is recommended, where they CIEI be eriamined, ventilited and the poor ones re *area.
