The number of pounds lias nearly doubled since IS79—the first year in which we had official reports?. In 1879 Egypt exported 27'4063 Bi3 pounds. The offiual report for 1895 is tiie latest, and givoa the amount as 531,477,1 S3 pounds. The price has fa 1 .mistca iily from 1495 cents in 1879 to 89T coats in 1895. Our first direct importation of Egyptian cotton was in 1884, and its use here has in* creased very rapidly. lit 1593 wo im ported directly from Egypt 43,574,760 pounds. This amount, added to that which was received through English channels, increased the total to about 50.000,000 pounds, or about 100,000 bales American cotton. In view of these facts our growers of Sea Island cotton have felt much uneasiness. The presi dent of the New York Cotton Ex change, Ho i. Gustavus O. Hopkins, fays that Egyptian cotton certainly does compete with our Sea Island of long staple cotton. Georgia raises two thirds of this latter crop, and we are of course directly interested in any move ment which tends either to increase or depto33 the price.—State Agricultural Department. Torn - v imit. QuestiOS. —l3 there any remedy to prevent the corn smut, which, it seems to me, is increasing in the last few years ‘i Ansv/eh. —The remedies for corn smut must necessarily be of a preventa tivo nature, because from the fast that the disease outers the plant when young, gpraying with Bordeaux mix ture and other fungicides will do little good. Experiments on this line have been made and the results have con firmed this opinion. On investigation it will be found that when the diseased corn is left in the field or on the ground it will infect succeeding crops, and also that while smutted corn fed to horses may not be very injurious to the ani mals, the spores will be distributed iu the muuuro and will work a great amount of damage. To arrest the dis ease it will pay to practice rotation of crops, and also to destroy as much of the smut as possible before it comes to maturity. Cut off the smut bails and bury or bum them before they burst and scatter the spores broadcast. Bis sey savs: “Where domestic animals are allowed to eat smut in the field, they become the carriers of the spores and their droppings, filled with the still living spores, become the centers of in fection., No animal should be permit ted to eat smutted corn, even though the owner be convinced of its harmless ness to the animal it-clf. The harm lies in the distribution of the spores, which are little if at all injured by passing ill*, ugh tho alimentary cnnals of aiimiul'i.”— State Agr.aultural De partment. .

Question. —Wl7 is it that wo so raii.iy see a perfect quince these days? I remember that in my youth this was considered one of oar most certain ! fruits and tho rows of quince trees in | my mother’s garden lade a with tiio ! heavy yellow fruit is still a pleasant memory. Ajivwnii.—Quinces, like many other of our fruit trees, have been sadly neg lected, and the insidious advances of di eases have been scarcely noticed, urf til they li ivo obtained such a firm foafc hold as to be very ilifii - uit of eradioa cation. There are four diseases to which the quince is liable; The Leaf Elight and Emit Spot, the Quince Rust, tne Black Rot and the Twig Blight. Tno first attacks the fruit as well as foliage, and young quince trees in the nursery arc peculiarly liable to it. The remedy is spraying with Bordeaux mixture. The rust attacks the fruit, ami unless the disease is cheeked, the young quinces will be distorted and misshapen long before they mature. The fun us of this disease is communicated fr ~n the “cedar apples” and “cedar balls” so often seen on cedar trees, and if these trees grow near a quince orchard thoy should bo destroyed. Spraying with fungicides tn ty also be use 1 with ad vantage. The Black Rust is more safely pre vented by clean eu'ture than by fungi cides, because the disease usually ap pears when the fruit is reaching ma turity, ami the application of fungi cides might be attended with danger. All rotting or mummified fruit should be destroyed, and after tne crop is gath ered late sprayings of amintmiaeal solu tion of copper carbonate will be bene ficial. The Twig Blight very much resem bles the Pear B ight.
