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 <l*i it few years ago, and you wish
to know my reasons for so doing, or
rather for not doing. I will endeav
or tq answer your questions to the
best of my ability, although you put
them pretty "strong" even to a "book
farmer."
One benefits claimed
for the practice of fall plowing for
corn ie, that it is a sure preventive
of the ravages of the cat w,orm;
those who follow the gener
ally account for this fact upon tho
theory that plowing in the fall
brings the crysalis or egg of the cut
worm near the surface, and it is kill
• ed by freezing during the winter
and wring, months. > .fiiow a slight
examifiatiqfi <JT the insect which is
the pVreof'fcf'tfic l Cutworm,will plain
ly show that it (jftnld not deposit the
egg at any grettt distance fi oln the
surface, for its structure is so delicate
and of such a form as to entirely
preclude all idea of its burying its
egg deeper than the fraction of an
inch. And farther, even if the pa
rent insect was capable of so cover
in its egg to the depth of five or six
inches, those who have examined the
young grub which constitutes the fu
ture ravages of our corn fields, will
be at once convinced that it cculd
never have worked its way through a
very great depth of soil in order to
reach the surface, which it must do
soon after it is hatched, or perish for
want of food.
The egg is deposited in the same
manner as that of our common road
beetle; it is encased in manure, and
deposited among the roots of grass
in small balls about the size of a
large pea, ljut more elongated, and
Coated on top with some poenliar
water-proof composition ; if a drop
of water on this surface, it
rijjis off as from a greasy plate. On
the under side of this ball, (as it is
placed T>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.

, busy time in storing away their hay,

' *j£<i*e«rvery favorable for harvesting.

It contains nothing irri
