1113 TItE TAIMEWS DEPARTMENT. -ON 12. To the Editor of the Virginia Herald. Sia,—AS the time of harvest is approach ing, I address, through your paper,.nly bro _ ther fariners,, on the importance of allowing wheat 'intended for sowing, to be entirely ---ripa-befere 'reaping. Accident last year, and eye-sight this year, have convinced me of the propriety of this course. In the year 1829, having" selected by hand some ears of Mexican wheat, and sowed it in the fall .of the same year, it was forgotten testi...year, until my little son reminded me that it ought to be gathered. o It was then from seven to ten days after my other wheat . of the same kind had been cut.—This *heat was then gathered and deposited .in a bag. Last October, this wheat was seeded on the same day, in.the same manner and adjoining - to other Mexican wheat.. No selection of land was made for it, as no experiment was • intended. 'lt has survived the fly, and the lust severe winter with little injury, but not more than one third of the adjoining wheat has been left alive. From itsj present ap .. pearance, it will produce, I belicve,two thirds more than its- . adjacent neighbor. Can the keeping in the bag, be the cause of. this superiority( I .believe riot, because in several previous years, said wheat has beeb.kept by me in bags, and no similar re- sol; has taken plaae; my inference," is, that ---dundifference must be owing to the 'entire • a~tpenese seed. Should auy reader of this-eeminunication have doubts on this sub ject, it would give me great pleasure to shew them the growing wheat which will convince, I should think, the most sceptical. From my twenty-four years experience as a farmer I am always satisfied, that the smut is mainly attributed to unripe wheat. My seed wheat, has - been always riper than that of my neightiers, and during that period . - I - htme never seen but six smutted heads - in my own crops. In a conversation with the late. Mr. Isaac Williams, he confirmed my sa mg ome io same prac tee of-one of his nearest neighbors, attended by the most entire success. In making this communication, the inte rest of wheat-growers is my sole object, and " ; by it, their corps should be increased, it will contribute to the happiness of your obe dient servant, THE WHEAT CROP. The. Richmond Compiler of the 30th ult. Observes: "Our :accounts from the neigh bouring country, on the river, both above and below us are unfavorable to the crop.. Wb have heard of a farm in this county, below this city which was expected to pre; duce 3000 bushels, and will yield only per haps, about 1500. We have heard of five farrhs still lower, on which the wheat has been ploughed up—in order to set in oats or corn. One of the best farmers on the lower Jaines River, writes that he has nev er heard of such general devastation com mitted by the vilkuuous fly. ..---s4Above-mi-on-the-best-law-grouruietthe James . River, the damage is represented to us '46 being considerable. And the accounts we have received from several forms in Pitt sylvania county are scarcely less gloomy." THE W HEAT CROP.—Tho Franklin Pa. Repository which lately gave a very favora ble-account of tho appearance of the wheat crops in that productive country, is this week constrained to spealozif them very different ly, 'The information since received is quite uidlivorablo to the crops. It appears that the fly, during the cold and dry .weather in the early part of the last •inotith, has made great ravages;-Mid ruined many fields of the early sawed wheat beyond recovery. The ravages ofthe Hessian Fly have been so great that many persons have turned their stock into their wheat fields; while others have ploughed their tields, and planted them in corn.--4?alei , th N.
