The Teach Tree. This most de
liciou fruit has of late years buffer
ed much in thissection of the coun
try from worms, and every informa
tion which may tend to protect the
tree from the ravages of insects must
prove valuable to our farmers and
citizens generally. The following
communication will be read with in
terest, and we recommend all inter
ested to follow its suggestions, -as we
believe it will prove a valuable re
cipe. The season is now fast ap
proaching when its directions should
be followed. AT. Y. Mer. Adv.
The reach Tree. From a
desire to encourage the culture
of the Poach Tree, we olFer the
following jus the result of ex
periment and observation.
it is gL-uen;l!y hno-v;) that
worms, near the surface of the
earth, destroy them by eating
the baric; the objeel is there
fore to find a preventive, in or
der that the trees may become
aged in a healthy state.
It is evident that those worm;
pass through the common
change, and assume the form of
millers, eariy in the summer,
and deposit their eggs in the
bark as iow as they can find ac
cess to it; and that tin; w;.rm
proceeding from tln nt begin t o
operate in the laiter part of the
summer, when they have been
found of the size of a pin. If
suffered to remain they grw to
the thickness of a rye straw;
each of them girdles the tree
about an inch, and the wood
from the wounds to the heart
dies. Hence it is, that a single
wound impairs the vigor of the
tree, and a number of them
kill it. The point to be gain
ed, is to protect the tree from
the millers, and by a simple
method, we have succeeded for
several years, wliicii is recom
mended with full confidence.
About the first of May re
move the earth from the body
of the tree, and shift it to the
height of 15 or 20 inches, in
such manner as to exclude the
millers, burying the lower part
of it in the earth. We Imvc
used straw cut to the length
and about half an inch in thick
ness, bound on with twine.
This should be removed about
the first of September, as we
have sometimes found the
young worms in the upper
pari of rhe straw, bt u.g then
readily discovered on the sur
face of the bark, covered bv a
little gum. The process
should be commenced when
the tree is young they 'have
been found in a rapid growth
the first fall after it sprouted.
Thus a few minutes in a year
devoted to a tree, will protect
it against this cause of decay
a very trifling expense com
pared wiih the value of this
healthy and delicious fruit.

Norfolk, April 15. It is
quite evident that there is a
progressive improvement in the
business affairs of our Bor
ough though not perhaps e-
quailing the sanguine anticipa
tions of some, or to the extent
that it might have been with
more enterprize and capital
than in the commencement
we had the com;nand of. .sill,
the improvement, though slow,
is certain, and its progress not
to be stayed but by our own
supineness and indifference.
Already neatly every house
and store within the limits of
llhe Borough is occupied, and a
number ol new dwellings con
tracted to be built within the
approaching summer.
The benefits of the West
India trade are beginning to be
experienced, and the produces
of the neighboring country
finds with us a ready and pro
fitable market. The boats of
the two transportation compa
nies are actively employed in
bringing us the cotton, tobacco
and flour of the Roanoke coun
try, while numerous coasa m
craL from or;n Oaroima aio
pouring in up-m a die products
of Jhe countty bordering on Ai
bcrmailo &ound. In au.nj,
if we are not gliding on .he
full tide of sue; s, the indices
of future prosperity are sirong
enough u elevate out hojies
ami cheer our spirits. We

Inriore us, every incentive to

success, indued, our own cit
izens appear' to have b-ss ron
fiuence in the augu.if s of he
glorious !estir, of ihetrtoun
than the well informed pan of
the community at a distance
from them. V e have had op
portunities of hearing the opin
ions of intelligent persons of
Richmond and Petersburg and
of the upper country, founded
on facts as they are, and they
all tend to ihe conclusion that
Norfolk must be the great ship
ping depot of the Southern
and a large portion of the
Western country, in which
character she must in lime ri
val the flourishing sea-ports of
the North. The opinion may
surprise those who have been
accustomed to view the upper
towns a the jealous nvnls of
Norfolk .md Urn enemies of her
prosperity: but every unpreju
diced and reflectiiig mind will
perceive at once, .mo the pro-
pj.-Miy or lonoiiv can in no
maimer injure, but certainly
will benefit Richmond and Vc
tetsbarg. It would be of no
possible advantage to our sis
ter towns on James river, that
Norfolk should be depressed;
and tiiey could not manifest
hostility to Norfolk without re
alising the lablo of the dog in
the manger which we aro
sure they have too much good
sense and proper leelmg to do.
Only erect Norfolk into a lurge
and flourishing seaport, and ihe
population of Southern and
Eastern Virginia will soon
keep pace with the increase of
the West; and the James river
towns will grow with her
growth, and strengthen with
her strength. Herald.
