Plowing in the Fall. [From the Gcruaantown Telegraph.] ' Ed. Tbleoraph,—Dear Sir : Yours, asking roe to give, for the ben efit of your readers, nsv ideas as to the advantages and disadvantages of fan or autumnal plowing for corn, was duly feceived. You remark that 1 do not now practice it as much as X .fiiow a slight examifiatiqfi J the inicct) is a flat surface which, unlike the remainder, is not entirely water-proof but only par- j taillv so, for water dropped will be slowly absorbed jiutil toe "whole ball becftmes saturated, but* dutside coating on top never seems to lose its water-proof qualities. It seems as if this Mater proof coating was not put on until the ball had reached its destined position, and then the in. sect was not able to reach under it when it rested on the ground, and hence could not protect this pa*t with the water-proof coating, as it did the romaindcr of the ball. Now, T will not pretend to deny but that fall plowing for corn (if care fully done) is a preventive for the ravages of the cutworm, but I do not think that if good effects are due to freezing, for we seldom have winters during which the' frost does not go more than furrow deep ; in fact, 1 do nbt believe that any reasonable amount of freezing and thawing would have much effect upon the eggs which are to produce the cutworm. I am more fully convincpe that the benefit is not due to the above cause, by knowing that early spring plowing is as sure a preventive of the bad effect of the cutworm as tho' the operation were performed in the fall. Is it not more likely that by the operation of plowing we invert the ball which contains the egg and bring the non-water-proof surface in to such exposition that it absorbs rain and thus destroys the vitality of tbe egg '( Or that by reversing the the sod we cover tho egg so d oply and beyond the reach of the warmth of the sun and air, that it is not hatched, or if it should be hatched, that k cannot force its way to the ■urfacc or perish in ihe attempt ? So you see that I still beli.'ve in -".fall plowing as a remedy for the ravages of the cutworm." In this case at least I would advise the following cf my preaching rath er than my practice. Another* advantage claimed by those who follow this plan, is that by plowing in the fall we have more time in the spring to devote to other labor; but unless the practice has other special advantage to recom mend it.this one alone will not car ry much weight, for I think a fair comparison will show that the same time expended in spring plowing and harrowinw will put the ground into much better order. My plan would be to plow the ground intended for oats and potatoes firet in the fall and then if the sea son would permit, plow the sod for corn, for I consider more good can be done by fall plowing for oats and potatoes than for corn, and espcially for potatoes. —The crops throughout the the county are better than was expected. -mThe Farmers are now having a , busy time in storing away their hay, Oate>. &c.
