[From the .Southern Piaster and Farmer,] nJt'B* TO 'TOHACI'O l*f,A«T Uliiis III' I'MlfK. A KEMEDY. [The fallowing ;irtic]c appeared iu this JoUTnalln IS'tl, and at the to qu£st. of a frieit'f" we reproduce it. SVe have a.t ranged to have n series of ar ticles, by the best tobacco growers iu Virginia, on t!»e cultivation of tobacco from the j'lajit bed to its delivery to market. Ed.] "The ravages of the liy.on the tobac co plant be J;t,of Eastern Virginia have. MO ntueh increased of late years us to call for a itj'drC certain preventive or remedy tlipu any heretofore suggested. A fir.it ar.d sometimes a second series of !_. plants is devoured by the insects, an-1 before a third can attain a growth suf ficient for transplantation, the early seasons have passed. The losses occa sioned by the delay alone in. planting must havejbeeu immense; and during the present year many growers of to bacco •wholly failed in occupying a part .of their hills made for that purpose. "During a recent visit to the county of Amherst, I met with Mr. Jame.s W. Phillips, an intelligent citizen and plan ter of that county, with whom I con versed at largo on the best modes of rearing and managing tobacco, From him I learned that he was in possession of a remedy againa# the _fly, which he had tried with unvarying Bcwcess for thirteen years past, with the exception of one year,when no flies appeared. He had not divulged it before, but is will ing that it should be made public now; and as it is both simple and cheap, J send for pnblication in the Planter a copy of what was written down from his dictation. " 'As soon as the cattle are taken in . 0 * from grazing and put up for winter feoding, as we may be certain that their manure will be free from grass seed, a quantity of this is collected and stored In several barrels. Old flour or lime barrels will answer the purpose. Over •ach layer of eight or ten inches thiok. ness, pour water until it is moistnred through and then sprinkle a handful or two of slaked lime. About four or five handfuls geneally suffice for a bar rel. These are either to be kept under shelter or covered during wot weather These are either as the fly tnukes its appearance—whiob is generally from the last week in March to the middle of April—sprinkle the mixture, which will be now thoroughly pulverized, over the beds so as nearly to cover the plants. The flics will cease to trouble them and the manure will stimulate their growth as well or better than any other ho has ever tried. - "Mr. P. covers his beds with brush, as in the general custom, and rather thicker than usua/; but never removes it entirely until shortly before the the plants aro drawn. He thinks it better to have two layers of brush, one across the other, as in caso the plants are too much shaded, the second may be removed Without disturbing the first and thuH injuring the plant*. TUo remedy bore proposed may not be as new te all your readers us it was to myself; but I doubt if it bo general ly known, and Mr. Phillips assures me that, as thus compounded, it is original t with him. 1 have heard of liquid ma nure, or a weak solution of guano, or brine o{ fiuli being poured over the 'Wis —of lime or plastor of Faria, either ,;«ingly or successively, sprinkled over the plants—but not with uniform re, suite. It has been said that if brush ■ fires bo kindled at the leeward of the beds the flies will be attracted by the flames. Recent observers of the h&bits of these insects also tell us that they rarely or nerer rise more three feet from the ground, and that beds enclosed by a tight plank fence of that height will keep them out. Of the efficacy of either of theso modes I know nothing; but the first, I suppose, would lw but temporary, and the other both troublesome and expensive. Mr. P's. continued sucoess was attested by several of his neighbors, and bis prepa ration may be considered worthy of trial by many others during the coming season, JJhould it prove equally effican. cious under a variety of circumstances, lie will have entitled himself to the thank* of our planters generally, and perhaps to some more solid testimonial of their obligations.
