 affected in a manner fimilar to what they fuffer 

 by a dry hot fummer ! looking yellow and 

 puny. 



But it has been faid, it feems, by an old 

 man, who was the oracle of his neighbour- 

 hood, that " nothing is fo cold as fand wet."

AUGUST 8. This year, the fpring being 

 moift and the weather fine, the young turnep- 

 plants got out of the way of the " fly," 

 which ufually attacks them in their feed-leaf 

 flate, with very little injury; and a fairer 

 profpedt of a general and full crop of turneps 

 has not been feen for feveral years. 



Many farmers had begun to fet out their 

 plants with the hoe; little fufpeding they 

 were throwing away their labour, and putting 

 their crops in the way of immediate deftruc- 

 tion. 



The alarm, in this neighbourhood, was given 

 about a month ago at South-Reps ; where an
