The Cur WoRM.--Mr. Isaac Newton, an
intelligent farmer of Delaware county, says
the Germantown Telegraph, has discovered
a remedy against the depredations committed
by these worms on the young corn. He has
tried it several seasons, and in all cases with
entire success. 1t is simply by mixing fine (
Salt with plaster, in the proportion of one
quart of salt to four quarts of plaster, and ap-
plying it to the corn after it has come up
Care must be taken not TO sprinkle the plant
itself with the mixture, otherwise the poison
Gus qualities of the salt may prove injurious.
Mr.. Newton states, such is the efficacy ofthis
preparation, that the very next hills to those
not thus protected, and left so to test the rem
dy, were totally deFy-yed.


The corn Gro las no greater enemy than
this destructive Nrittle insect Whole fields
are frequently destroyed by its ravages If
the above remedy be as elficacious as the dis
coverer asserts, it is certainly one of great inn
portance to farmers. Its simplicity and cheap
ness brings it within the reach of all. We
doubt not many will, at all events, make the
experiment
