Hart Massey, Esq, of this village,
took a small portion Of the seed corn
with which he planted field, and
soaked it in solution of salt nitre.
commonly called salt petre, and plan.
ted five rows with the seed thus pre-.
pared. Now for the result; the five
rows plaoled with saltpetrc yielded
more than twenty-five rows planted
without any preparation; the five rows
were untouched by the worm, while
the remainder Of the field suffered Sc.
verely from their depreciation.


We should judge that not one ker.
mel saturated with sallpetre had been
touched by the worm, while almost
every hill in the adjoining field suffer-
ed severely. No one who will exam
inc the field can doubt the efficacy of
the preparation. He will be aston
ished at the striking difference be.
tween the FIVE rows and the emainder
Of the field.


Here is simple fact which, if sea-
sonably known, would have saved
thousands Of dollars to the farmers OF
this county alone in the article of corn.
At all events the experiment should be
extensively tested, as the results are
deemed certain, while the expense i:
comparatively nothing .-Washington
