The Midge, Fly, Weevil and Rust.
Continued wheat cropping until the silrx is
exhausted will produce soft, spongy stalks,
that will partly invite the attack of fly and
rust. It is far more liable to rust, and smut,
and fiv, in some soils than in others. As tho
alkalies and other fertilizing elements become
exhausted, its crops of wheat not only become
smaller, but the plants fail in constitutional
vigor, anil are more liable to diseases, and to
the attacks of parasitic plants and destructive
insects. Defects in soil, and improper nutri
tion, add to these disastrous results. Soils
may have all the material necessary to produce
a large crop of wheat, but for want of soluble
to give it a hard, glossy stem, it will be unable
to withstand wet, lodge down, rust, and give
harbor to the midge ; and in September and
May to the fly. From one hundred to one
hundred and fifty pounds of soluble silica are
required to glaze the stalks and kernels of an
acre of wheat, and threp-fourtlis of it isrequir- i
ed in the last sixty days of maturing. This |
is the time the stalk acquires ils solidity and
strength. But all the sand in the world will
do no good, unless soluble or liquid, so that
the plant can draw it up and use it. All alka
line minerals, as potash, soda, I.me, magnesia,
and ammonia, hasten the solution of the in
soluble compounds of silica in the soil. Without
some alkaline mineral a crop of wheat may be '
worthless for want of silica, although the crop
grew in a heap of sand. 1 ntsl it is dissolved
and made liquid,it is as foolish to expect wheat
to use it, as it is to ofl'-r a cake of ice to a
horse and tell him to drink In each case tlie ;
appropriate substance is present, but not in a
condition to be used.
The first great cause of midge, fly, weevil,
and rust, is a soil exhausted by wheat crop-,
ping, so that there is not silica sufficient to
harden the stem and seed. Tiic remedy, if
there is sand or silica in the ear'h is alkaline
minerals to render the sand soluble, so that [
the sand can be drawn up by the pores of the
plant.
As the fly operates in September, one remedy
is to sow so late that the fly will be gone be- ■
fere the wheat comes tip. A> this will prevent
the fly from depositing its egg in the fall, the
crop will be free from them in the spring. If
wliea* is sown from the Ist to the 10th of j
October, there is little danger from the fly ; !
but it makes the growth so late that it opt |
to winter kill, and be subject to rust. All
varieties of wheat, if sown early, are liable to
injury from the fly, and if to avoid this evil,
sowing be delayed till late, the plants do not
get sufficient root to stand the heaving of the
frost and winter kill ; not being glazed earlv
enough to avoid the rust season, in June, they
are subject, to that evil, a-, well as the midge.
As, iu sowing early to avoid the rust the wheat
is liable to fly, and in sowing late to avoid the
fly we subject it to rust, the great object should
be to adopt some measure whereby we may
avoid both.
As unsound and unhealthy plants arc more
subject to fly and rust than are healthy ones,
the first object should be to get healthy plants.
To insure healthy plants, we must have sound
and healthy seed. Kernels broken in thresh
ing, stung by the weevil, affected by the rust,
or dwarfed, or shriveled by the injury of the
fly to the stalk, should never be sown.
We should have good land, possessing nat
urally or supplied artificially with all the con
stituents of the wheat crop.
To insure such seed it should all bo put in
water before it is sown, and what floats on the
top is imperfect, and should be skimmed off.—
If the kernel is stung, slirivele 1 or defective,
the water ordeal will show it. What .sinks in
the water is sound. It may, however, have
the spores of smut or rust on it that will pro
pagate and produce a crop of that curse. To
prevent that, the seed that sink- to the bottom
should lie steeped in lime-water, or sulphate of
soda, or brine, then rolled in ; faster ; or if
soaked in sulphate of soda or brine, roll it in
lime recently slacked, puting a peck of recent
ly-slacked lime to each bushel of wheat, and
shovel it over till the seed is completely covered.
It should be soaked to six hours.—
This will kill the spores of the rust or smut,
nnd produce healthy seed—which, with good
land and good cultivation, will insure healthy
plants.
Another remedy is to get a variety cf wheat
that can be sown so late as to avoid the fly
in September, and that would ripen so early us
to avoid the rnst in .June.
The Mediterranean is some ten days earlier
than any other variety, which u.-ually saves it
from the rust. It will also hear to be sown
later than any other variety.— [Ohio Farmer.
Dmr.ixc. A WELL. — The month of August is
usually the safest time to sink a well. The hot
season has then generally dried up tho surface
streams nid springs and left those which per
colate deep and silent through the earth in
their full and natural flow, and when reached
they then scarcely fail to yield a permanent
supply. Before digging the well, the stone or
brick for walling it should be on the ground,
and so placed as to be ready at a moment's
notice for use, as we have known wells lost,
from a sudden break of the earth or rock at
the bottom and the rapid flowing in of the
water, driving the laborers out, and filling up
to a height even above the tools they wrought
with. And so strong was the fountain, that
they could not exhaust the water afterwards.
Such cases do not often happen, we know, hut
it is well to provide against them, and after
water is found in fnll supply, the quicker the
well is walled up the better.— [American Agri
culturist, July.
FALLING FRUlTS.— Already the apples, pears
and plums arc beginning to drop abundantly
from the trees. If you examine these, you
will discover not a single sound specimen among
them. They have fallen, not by the winds,
but, quite likely, prematurely from disease.—
Cut them open, and yon find either eggs, or
grubs, already at work upon the substance of
the fruit. Every one of these fruits is a pest
house, to be immediately destroyed. It is
good work for the boys to pick them up, and
throw them into the pigstye, where they will
l>e devoured, or rot among the fermenting
manures. \\ r e are persuaded that the destruc
tion caused by the cnrculio and by the grub
that prey upon the apples and pears, is caused
mainly, by the neglect of this simple precau
tion. The fallen froit is suffered to lie upon
the ground, and mature its progeny of insects.
The next year they swarm in increasing num
bers, and the farmer complains that there is
something peculiar in his soil and climate ; he
oanuot grow good fruit. The difficulty is in
the man and not in his soil. Pick up tho ful
leu fruit.— [Arntnm* AgrtcuU urist lulu
