The mode of sufficient importance to be submitted to the consideration ol the bociety. I be first riuty of-the planter, in ortler; to ensure sucess to his crops, is the careful and thorough preparation of hit land. It should be sn inflexible rule, not to deposit seed in the ground, until it is in a proper state for their reception. Whatever is done by the planter, should be well done, is an axiom an unuersailv true, both in princi ple and its application to the every day business, of ...his. avocation, that he never should be unmitlful of the lesson which it inculcates. The next step which is a mrasure of e- rual importance, is the selection of seed. I nat variety is to be pre I erred, winch will yield ihe greatest product to a given nam-! ber of acres, reference beins had to-both weight end quantity. The Committee have paid some atten tion to the different varieties of Corn, and from their observation and Ihe information of several intelligent planters, they are persuaded that ihe beat variety with which they are acquainted, is a species of the white gourd seed, remsrkable for the large size of the cobs, the number of rows of grain, and the compact order in which the large and well shapeil grains aanere to tne tab. The .number .. Atrowa ot strain -ry from 18 to 4 sometimes they run as high as 6. and in one inatance ihev reached the extraordinary number of 52. In Fair (led, thia variety ia railed the Cook Corn, and is highly priz -d by ihe best planters ol max rnierprismir uiatrict, as oewz superi or over the commen kind both in quality and quantity of grain. It is represented to yield fonr or rave bushels to the acre more than the ordinary variety in the coun try In com psrtng Ibis variety with tne corn -w hit h Edward Rirkaey, Eq.. of Pattersonville has been planting and im proving lor some years past, we sre con vinced that it belongs to Ihe aame species, if it be not ihe identical kind. The Com mittee beg leave to state, that some of its members have tried the Kirkaey corn, and . MhJB.?lt?.,l'.4!tR.,?.a;. i ui t no peiiot qu air ities. they embrace the occasion to rtcora mend it to the notice ol the Society. When the planter shall have satisfied him aelf that he has procured the best variety for productiveness-and for its adaptation to hia toil and climate, he should then charge himself with the further duty of making an annual selection from his fields before the crop is gathered. In Risking this selec tion, the Committee are aware of but one general rule to be observed, the selection should be made from the earliest and healthiest stalks, having two or more ears, and from none ether. It has been a ques tion, somewhat mooted, whether the upper or lower ear is to be preferred. A sat isfuctory reason may be assigned in favor of the top ear arising from the lawa of Veg etable physiology. The food of all veget ables is first received into the small vessels with which the roots are supplied, while it is held m a state of solution ly water andconvevetl through the pUtrTiisiaJ ' tpiilteQtlQiiJktt acirs oi tne suik to tne icsves, wnen it undergoes so essential change antfis elab orated into suitable aliment for the plant. tt is then diffused ihrough 4)te organs of the plant by means of the bark In ita re turn passage of the roots, impsrting in its progress the elements of nutrition to the growing plsnt. ' lnjhee!urnpsiiage of these nourishing juices, it does not appear improbable, that the top ear ahould-appro-priale to itseif the richest portions, and be -hereby bled to ttlatn the l.rge.t ; helher thia hypothesis bo phi. .owP...e..J true or not, the lact is in. disputable, that the top ear ig usually the largest, and therefore to be preferred. . Ihe planter most at this slsge deter mine ia favor of some one of ihe various modes of planting corn, whirk are prac tise! in this section of the State, and are aa follows: The first and probably the oldest mode is in checks five, with two stalks in a hill the second in checks four by four, with ripe stalk in a hills Ihe third five feet by three, with one stalk in a hill and the more recent mode in drills of on equsl distant es, as anils the tsste of the planter, or the character and strength of the land. The firat mode is obnoxious to an insuperable obiection. arising from the fact, that at the present time there is bat a small portion of our I I. e -. freshness and fertility to bring to maturU 'le turn stall tin th asm Kit! itk wrt.r ran ol corn en them.

The number of stalks on a square acre of ground planted in checks five by three, will exceed the nuaiber plan led four by four .by something upwards of two hundretl and thirty, as will be appar ent to every one who will square ihe dis tances at which the corn, stands according to both plans, and ascertain the difference.

At this stage in the growth of corn, cutting the roots is no.in- jury but rather benefit: of all the modes of planting corn in checks, we regard this .aa HabUfw-bjetionSi and presenting more advantages than any other. We are inclined-io-4eiievo-fMi recent ipe rimenta that the drill culture ia prcler ble to either of the foregoing, ami is des tined ere long to supersede them all. It recummeds itself to the favorable consider ation of the planter aa being better adapted for the retention o moiature Tor the pre vrntion of washing- and for the equal if not increased production of the land. -The preparation of the land should be. made in beda five feet, or five leet six inchea wide, with such direction given to the rows, having reference to the slope of ihe field, aa will admit of the easy and gradual passage of water into the adjoin ing branches or prepared water drams, without serious damage to the land. If the drills are wall prepared nd thrown p by bar-ploughs into well defined beds, a largo pottion or falling water will be absorbed and retained in the drills on high landa, inalead of running with de structjve speed to the tallies, aa ia too often aeenin the check aytem, washingnp the corn, and injuring the land in Its pro gress. On high land the corn should be planted in the water furrow, at the dis tance in the drill of thirty inches or three feet, aa may be most suitable to the age and strength of the land, and covered with ihe plough by running two furrows. If the olsnter uses manure as evrrr one should do, it is advisable to sc'slhe it along Ihe entire drill and drop the seed corn upon it the use of the plough in cover ing corn and the manure at the ssme lime will protect the latter from evaporation and the former from being washed' up by ram. If Ihe land should be in good order. the corn" wiU'come o p well without further ad visable to run ihe harrow over thr corn the fifih or sixth day after it has beenplsnied. On bottom or low lands especially if they are inclined to be wet, it is safer to plant in she middle of Ihe beds, plsnling snd covering aa above recommended. The system of planting in driil is far belter adapted to the purposes of draining, low r moist land especially if the fields lie in the least degree undulating, as it enables Ihe planter to give that direction to hie drills through which the water will nat urally flow, and by which the redundant portions may be discharged from the sur face of the land The treatment of plants snd vegatebles abder ground, should be somewhst analogous to that bestowed upon them above the earth, Ihe moderate top ping or pruning of plant at the proper season is though to improve their vigor and increase their fruitfulness, but the ex ceasive use of the knife at any season will csuse much injury by producing a violent derangement in the circulation of the flu ids, in consequence of Which, the growth of plants is not only greatly retarded, but their destruction in many instances ren dered inevitable these efferts Sre produ ced with equal certainly, whether violence is offered the plant by pruning it limbs to excess,' and cutting its roots 'o excess.
