While, in fhjs latitiulo tlio rottou /plant, is comparatively ix. inpt from tlie ravages ol tho army aud Loll worm it -i'fins peculiarly liable to in jury from rust, not duo, probably, to climate influences. 1 do not think 1 ove; ostunat ' the libs from this causo during the last season upon many of our fauns, uhen l place it at one-third of tho probable yield. With propriety, then, wo ci me to the consideration cl this insidious disease, its character, its cause, anil, if possible, its remedies. W;tM in Rial ht Cotton V The first i cint of inquiry is, What is the disease ? Is it an external af fection of the stalk and leaf, and if so. is it the presence of animal or vegeta ble parasites, or is it simply a decay of the structure of the plant from the defective or noxious matter of the soil r Each of these toeones has heen ad vanced by ri - j cti.bl' authority, Mr. Ruffin atciii cs the disease to thepns enco of mini to animalcule:. (Sec Huf lin’s Reports) Professor Harper, of Mississippi, (see “Cotton Planter's M gill) eld ) says: “The nature of this rust is easily found out by the aid of a sufficiently powerful microscope, and is known to be nothing else but a pa rasitical fungus, growing upon the stoek»und branches of the cotton plant.’ On the other hand, Dr. J. Lawrence tjmith, a chemist of distinction, who was employed by the Black Oak Ag ricultural Society to investigate this subject, the opinion that it is due main ly to noxious substances in the soil, aud especially to the provide of iron. In tliisopinion Air. Henry W. Ravenel, of Aik. n, concurs, than yy horn no high er authority exists in the South. In a recent communication, which I had the pleasure of receiving from him, he says : “I have myself paid some atten tion to this branch of botany, and at the time made irequenl aud close ex amination of the diseased plant, and could never in any instance find any indications of eryptogamic growth. 1 am satisfied that rust in cotton is not caused by any parasite such as affects wheat, rye, oats and other cereals, but is only a diseased condition of the plant, affecting its structural organiza tion, and probably caused by some deleterious agent in Ihe soil.’’ • W hich of these theories ; hall we accept V in the absence of direct au thority, tho weight pf probability is in favor of the fungus theory, il'we an confined to any single one. It is well known that there is a numerous order of eryptogamic.plants, affecting almost every variety ot vegetation, and there is no reas.on why tho cotton plant uhouhl he exempt. But the probabil ity is that the term cud has been em ployed in a vague sense to indicate several diseases of the cotton plant, so that each of these theories may be true to n limited extent. The disease cer tainly presents itself to us in at least two apparently distinct forms, desig nated red aud black rust. Tlie exact nature of the disease, however, is an interesting question ol science, ratio r than one of practical value. It will be found, whichever theory we adopti that in all eases over which the farmer can have any con trol, the exciting cause is to be found In the soil. The cognate iliseate which affects grain, and is known elsewhere under t ;e term “Mildew,” has been the sub ject- to close investigation for years, and especially by the intelligent agii cultural mind of Great Britain. This is known to boa fungus, which is al ways more or less present, (see Proses- Johnson’s article. Fanners Ency c’opedia, page 80&j) but which only becomes destructive under circum stances favorable to its development —generally a fe< 1 >le or diseased con dition of the plant. This is the exact theory with regard to rust in the c«t ton plant. “This fungus, ’ gays Pro fessor Harper, “is produced by a dis eased state of the plant, caused by a stagnation in its growth and a conse quent relaxation in circulation of the fluid or sap of the plant. ’ And this diseased state of the plant ho ascribes more generally to a defective condi tion of the soil. Whether, then, the disease is external or internal, the de predaffon of a parasite, or decay from defective circulation, it is to the soil that we arc to look for a r< inedy. Obscricd Fads in the Cane. . Having thus stated the theories of the disease, it will bo instructive to ex amine the various facts which have fallen under our observation, both in the appearance of the disease and the r medics which have been employed, io see now far they may accord with ine or the other of these theories ; • l ow far they may be explained upon re< ognized principles, and how far thev may throw un tie r light upon this ob sc ire sub > et. The first fact which vve observ e is that in unpropitiou.s sca t< ns, such as the last, the disease pre vails generally, and affects soils of al- most every description. Here the ex citing cause tvoma boeni to he iu cer tain atmospheric conditions, and in conflict with the theory of noxious n alter as an exclusive one. Here the disease would sis m to be beyond the ctntrol of the farmer ? Tint'it'is not entirely so, On my own farm, duriiio the last season, amid the general prow t lence of the disease, anew gi eund ind a premium acre under high treat ment, on opposite sides of the farm, vv iv i-iitir y exempt. This foci prove that under the most advetse at nn.sp eric ccndit.. n ol the soil, natu ral or aruijenu, vviif mitigate if em It vent the disease. The second lac; vipidi we. notice is that ceiwn soils are extremely liable to the disease, while others, and especially new lands, are generally exempt. Ilerg tho ex efting Tan e in evidently in ihe soil, and the cause is often apparent Im perfect drainage and excess of vegeta ble or mineral matier are clearly un healthy to tho grywth of plants, and as might bo anticipated, a removal of them will correct tho evil. More thorough drainage and tho applica tion of lime or ashes has, with the ob servation of many of ns, arrested tlie tendency to rust in certain lands. But sometimes the cause is not so evident. Lands will rust cotton in which wo can discover no physical or chemical defect. They seem moder ately dry, und produce other crops in fair abundance. Here the defect may be from the presence of noxious mat ter in the soil, in tho form of proxide of iron, as lias been often suggested, or it may arise from excessive moist ure below tho surface. Often soils which seem dry upon the Rtirfaco, and where tho immediate subsoil is open and porous, are yet underlaid, at a short distanco below, by an impervi ous subsoil, which positively forbids the passage of water. This is gener ally indicated by the presence of craw fish, and always by a boggy condition after a moderate fall of rain. •This condition cannot bo otherwise than cold and unhealthy. The remedy, in the first case, as we arc taught by ag ricultural chemistry, is in exposing the soil to tho atmospheric action, and, in tlie other, imdordrab-ago is the on ly iffective remedy. But as this is not generally practicable, : tho best course is to give up such lands to more hardy crops. There is one class of lands extreme ly liable to rust, the causo of which is difficult to understand. The isinglass lands upon our rivers are among our dryest and most fertile soils. In tlie production of corn they stand unrival led, and yet they almost invariably produco rust in cotton. When new, they arc said not to rust, aud it may bo that their very generous nature has lei to exhaustion in some essen tial element. It would bo difficult to estimate tie amount of potash, phos phoric acid, lime, etc., which those generous soils have, year after year, yielded to tin? farmer. This view is sustained by the fact that high ma nuring has been found an effective remedy. The Critical Period. A third fact is, that cotton usually rusts at about the same period of its growth—about tho period of fruiting. I have never known a young plant to he affected by the disease. It is at the time of fruiting that the demands upon the toil are largest. The ash of the cotton seed amounts to four per cent, of weight, and is one of the rich est of all vegetable substances in inor- ganic matter. It might he ‘expected, then, that any defect of the soil would be exhibited at this critical period, and tho vigor and strength of the plant being impaired, it would fall an easy victim to disease. It is a well attested fact that manuring, at this time, has often checked the develop ment of rust. Again, it “as been ob serve l that cotton manured with gua no has taken rust, while that uuman ured and adjacent had escaped. This fact is not singular when we reflect that the effect of guano, especially in sin. 1 quantities, is soon exhausted, and the plant is then loit upon very poor soils in worse condition than il no manure had been, used. Again, it is said that the prolific v arieties, which arc now known under the general term of Dickson seed, were found more liable to rust than the ordinary varieties. The principle upon which this depends will not bo difficult to discover w hen wo examine into the exact function which tlm plant performs iu producing fruit. Ahme, the plant can produce noth ing. Jt can only work up into living id ms the dead elements of the soil, and, if those elements are wanting, tile very tendency to fruitfulness is it self a source ol failure. In the report'of a coir mission ap pointed by the Government of Lustra lia, to investigate the cause of mildew in wheat, it is stated as stq ported bv facts that the more improver, aaa pro' ductive varieties were pecu iarlv sub ject to that disease. This truth is sustained by analogies fre m animal life. Improved stocii require improv ed pasturage, and improved and pro lific plants require a higher condition ol' the soil The Remedies Indicated. The limits of our essay w ill not al low a further statement ol facts. From what has been said, I think we may conclude that whatever may bo the exa. t nature of the disease, its excit ing cause varies with the varied con dition of the soil. It way be affirmed that whatever is unhealthy to the plant, will general cause it to devel op rust A generally remedy is alone to be found in judicious manuring and. cultivation. A special disease will of ten require the application of a special remedy. There is a disposition among- the purely practical farmers ol the country to ascribe the disease to some general ! cause, such, for example as the ap pearance of the po -ewced, and to seek lor a remedy applicable to all eases. In this view common salt is sometimes recommended as a panacea. The val ue of salt, both as a manure and as a remedy lor mildew iu grain, consti tutes one of the most vexed questions in the literature ol English agriculture, and its value in this country seems equally uncertain Some remarkable facts have been stated to me bv sever al of our best larmcrs, attesting its value as a preventive of nut. But it is difficult to account for its actitn in this i expect. Its base constitutes one of the least mporfant elements which enter info piuuts, and its value as a septic agent must be inferior t_i both lime end m-hus xts effect in destroying insect hie is well known, and iu England it has been found equally destructive to fungus glowth. it is to this that l’roiessOr Johnston ascribes its value I both as a preventive and a remedy for I mildew, Whethor it acts in this way upon the disease in our cotton plant, would depend upon whether it were of tho same character. I propose du ring the present season to make some careful experiments to test tho value of salt us a preventive of rust. EDWARD E. EVANS. : £u gtfmlmfois.
