In reply to your first inquiry, I answer that I obtained from my friend, the Hon. Arnold Nau- dain, of Delaware, a specimen of the wheat, now known as the Mejliterranean wheat. I have raised five crops of it, without the least injury from the fly, and none material from rust ; and such has been the invariable result of many trials of this wheat, by individuals to whom I have dis- posed of it for seed, during the three yeai-s past. Tiic reason why this wheat escapes injury from the fall attack o...f the fly is, that it certainly is so constituted as to possess, and to be sustamed by, a more vigorous root tlian any otlier known wheat is ; so that while the fly in the fall destroys all other wheat known to us, root and branch, thus denuding fields more or less, according to season and other circumstances, not a root of this wheat is destroyed, owing, no doubt, to its energj'. The reason why this wheat escapes the spring attack of the fly is to be found in the same prop- erty — its energy of root — owing to which, or some other unknown cause, its growth in the spring is more rapid and vigorous than any other winter wheat ; so that, by the middle of April, it attains a hard, and sapless gronnd joint impene- trable by the then J'oung maggot, which produces the fly, and, if penetrated, furnishing no pabu- lum, (that is, sap,) hence the maggots, no matter how many, perish, without doing the least injury to the wheat.
