Weipd occasion some year or two since, to call the attention of our farming friends to this singular and very productive variety of wheat. Since that tirhe we have not heard of any experiments made with it in Georgia, until the reception a >,. few days since, of the following letter. ' whifrt*Ave take pleasure in laying before ' /our readers, in pursuance of the writer's V request. We certainly shall not object to _ ' his making a handsome sum by the specu. - lation, if the wheat should be found sus.^ ^.ceptible of profitable cultivation (and we w^ see no reason why ^ should not,) on a " large scale. I Lofton a Store, Butts co. Ga. May 31. To the Editor of the Southern Banner. Having obtained from Mr. Thomas ?4 Steering of Abbeville, S. C. a small quan, v -tity of his California wheat last summer, which I planted the first, middle and latpart of October last?in all I had SOaboutone thousand stjilks or bunches to stand^which have produced at least twenthousand heads, averaging about one hundred and fifty grains to the head; the grains are very large and of a beautiful yellow tint, rich and sweet, and no doubt will make the best of flour. I have about se-, ? ven square rods sown in this wheat, and it i is very thin on the ground, which will make between five and ten bushels, which would be over one hundred bushels t.o the acre. And it is still to be admired, while j most of the common wheat, throughout the country, for the present season, is greatly injured, and some of the crops en- j , tirelv ruined by the rust and smut, this remains free from either. Any person wishing to obtain this wheat, can, by forwarding me five dollars, have put up for him twenty heads, which will, if properly managed, and sown in good soil, produce at least ten bushels, which will be sufficient seed to produce 12 or 1500 bushels the second season. Persons wishing to obtain b, this wheat, can by forwarding me their orders as above din cted, have any quantity in P proportion put up for them, arid dispo=sied of as they may direct. . John Lofton. i. > * - ' * From the South Western Farmer. i . 3^- seed corn. A considerable controversy is going on in the Northern farming papers as to whether it is of any advantage to shelLoff the ends of the ears or nub it, as some do, and useonlv the middle and largest grains, experiments are cited; but we have w i not been able to discover any thing satis factorily determined by them. In me absence of experience on the subject, we should suppose tiiat there was no advantage in shelling off the lower part of the ear?these grains being generally the soundest and fullest, and always the earliest "to ripen and these being the the qualities we are in the habit of selecting other seed for possessing. The upper end of the ear is usually dwarfish and immature, and we should think would degenerate if pla itcd separate. Corn, it is well known, will mix if planted near together?separate varieties amalgamating and forming a mule variety different from both. The rules- which govern the crossing, however, are but litV inquired into. Some experiments have ^.'ifeen jnade on this subject lately however, ;?j?and the result seems to establish' it as a V*?3j&eii?ral rule, that the stalk furnishirig-the -fertilizing farina from its tassel, will give the gram, while the other stalk will transmit the cob-leaf, stalk and habits of growth. * Thus, if we wanted to produce a variety of corn which would give us the round hard grain of the homminv corn, with the large thrifty stalk of the gourd seed, we should plant the sorts together and as soon as the tassels appeared before they began to bloom, we should carefully pull out all the tassels from the gourd seed stalks, and let their silks be fertilized from the homm'rtiy. They have in Texas a variety of corn which is thrifty and'capable of withstanding drougth i. in a remarkable degree, but the grain is nearly as round' and hard as a shot and buried in the cob so deep as to make it J the hardest kind of work to shell it. ? * - l J ii "l'he large coo u nas auu mc aman make it shell out les&than any corn we ever saw. If therei&any thing new in the above rule, we snould suppose ihat this Texian corn, crossed witl#>ur gourd seed or some pdier large grained variety, so as to threw a better grain into its cob' ?sind yet preserve its thriftiness, would produce a most valuable sort, superior to any we have among us. We do not give the rule as established, but only as seemingly established. A few experiments on the'subject will be but little trbflble?and may give very important y* information. r jri It may not perhaps be generally known ML _thatto pull 'away nearly half the tassels ^o^orn-only leaving enough and suf t' ^ ;?HentIy Scattered to fertilize the silks of all the field?wiH^do no damage. Some -corn planters.in the absence of other green /oodjor their horses, pull out the ^ta'ssel? and a few of the-top leaves which will adhere to them, from the stalks of every other row in their fields ahd find the yield undiminished. Whbn "the tassel just appears, the top joints are veiy tender and a slight pull will withdraw a few leaves <jI ' . i and part of the stalk; and coming as they do at a time when many are without green^feod (?r their work horses, as a refreshmejat^ery few days, they make a valuablfflpbti for that annimai. ajjjfcvTSO GARDEN SEED. | Thousands of dollars are annually ex! ponded by our citizens,- in purchasing [garden seed, which it would require only " " "* -II - ?A?:An . a little attention to save, it is an a uouun ! about seed raised here not doing - as well i as seed brought from the North. If proi per care is used in saving the right sorts I they are far better in general than any j others^ Some of the most experienced and successful gardeners we ever knew i here, planted only domestic seed when J they could be had. If seed are sowed ir iour usual caieless.. way, however, there | canibe no doubt they will degenerate | and encourage custom of sendjng abroad ! for supplies. What has beefi -cfur usua course as to garden seed? All the best i plants of earliest maturity?early peas I radishes, beets, turnips, &c. &c. are | gathered for consumption, and if the sa| ving-of seed happens to be thought of ai : all, a few late trifling plants which the ; cook has rejected are left for seed plants and after the use of the seed of sucl tilings, the gardener thinks he has found an excuse for his negligence and want ol economy in the idea that seeds raised here are inferior! What sagacity! The proper way is to go yourself intc your garden and select the finest and earliest plants, and mm k them, (by stick ing*^stick by them or otherwise) to be left for seed, and give orders at once thai no marked plant is to be touched on anv pretence. A little firmness is necessary for an extra fine vegetable of a choice kind is a tempting bait. Use this method with all your garden plants, and you will soon with us scout the notion that northern seed, raised as they arey for sale, are better than our own. To buy the seed necessary for a full garden of all the garden plants, costs ter or twelve dollars; and scarcely any ^ one pretending to keep up a garden spends less than two or three dollars annually foi their seed. By a little attention and trouble scarcely worth naming, how easily may every gardener then save the amount of the subscripton to the Farmer!?lb. Fresh Fancy Groceries.

Gentlemen?Owing to tho benefit received from my visit to the White Sulphur Springs last summer, I have not yet had occasion to drink any of the water yon 6cnt rac; but having, on more than ono occasion, used it as it came to this place in bottles, I am of opinion, if carefully put up, that it undergoes little if any deterioration or chango in its qualities or cffcts. Your friend and servant, J. Kl'AUHJiAU. Messrs. Wm. B. Calwell & Co. Lcwisburg, March 6th, 1639, From Dr. Willson. ' For the last twelvo or thirteen years I have re. sided in the neighborhood of the White Sulphur Springs, and have had frequent opportunities of , observing the beneficial effects of waters, when re| moved from the spring in bottles and barrels. The aative properties of this water depend upon [ the saline ingredients which it contains. In corroboration of tliiu opinion, I stato that I have known individuals in this place use the water after1 it had been kept in barrolls for twelve months, and after it appeared to have parted with.all or most of its volatile properties, and that_ it acted as promptly and efficiently as when used at tho spring. < HUGH WILSON, M.
