The loss in the plants was mainly occasioned by the heavy rain of 
June 18. In general, however, our counting of vegetations shows that 
all the seeds that vegetate do not form plants for crop.e ‘The losses 
‘come in cases from defective vitality, in cases from insect ravages, but 
mostly the former ; exceptionally, as in our present case, heavy rains 
wash the soil, and ‘uncover or earth over the young plants.
