Question.—W ill yon give - me some information about the diseases farmers call "black rust” and “red rust?” Can they bo prevented in way? Answer.—B oth of these diseases due to physiological causes, and not to the attacks of any fungus. The "black rust” should be called the "yellow leaf blight,” as in the first stages of the dis¬ ease the leaves assume a decidedly yel¬ low-spotted or mosaic nppearuuoe, and in this unhealthy condition they ifre at¬ tacked by various fungus growths, which gives the leaves a black appear- ance, thus giving rise to the “black rust." The causes of the. iii» ease are not well understood as yet. but it has been demonstrated taat the fun gus organisms do not originate the dis¬ ease, and that they only hasten the de¬ struction of the already diseasod plants. Trials of various fungicides have proved that the disease cannot be prevented by their application. Experiments at the Alabama Station ahowed a reduction of the disease where Jcaiuit was used as a fertilizer. This effect is more pro¬ nounced in r, -.sous of drouth, followed by copious rain , than when rains are frequent t 'ougn to keep the soil con¬ tinually moist, and is doubtless due to the action of the kainit “in binding more firmly together tho soil particles, so that it is more retentive of moisture, or more able to draw it up from below. ” "Wood ashes and salt are known to produce much the same results in the soil.” The “red rust,” or "red leaf blight," which is so common on thin uplands, and so rare on rich or alluvial soils, is the result simply of impover- ished soil, showing particularly a lack of nitrogen, and probably of potash and phosphoric acid also. The remedy for this is by proper rotation of crops, to. fill your ?. land with humus or vegetable and , then . with . , proper.fertilizing - ... matter, and cultivation you will no longer * be troubled .__-.u with the red , ru9fc. . ,, Much , of . our land, by continuous planting ” in cotton, 13 exhausted of all ii humus, i and . only by its restoration first of all can proper fertilizing and cultivation be earned on —State Agricultural Depart- me nt Topping Cotton. Question.—-D oes it pay to top cotton? If so, at what time should it be done? Answer. — This question has beea discussed pro and cou for years aud uo satisfactory conclusions have yet been reached. In some experiments made at the Georgia Experiment station the re- suits left the question as unsettled as it has always been. In other words, some rows that were topped showed a slight loss in yield, while others showed a slight gain over the untopped TOW3. The generally accepted theory i, that it does not pay to top cotton, though uuder certain conditions it might prove profitable. It is thought by many that it hastens the maturing of the bolls al¬ ready set, which would be an. advant¬ age with an early frost. Others think that it tends to check the shedding of the forms and young bolls, but this claim I think unfounded. Topping cot¬ ton, when considered advisable, is usu¬ ally done when the plant is well fruited and at the same time growing rapidly. This condition is usually found about the first of August, when the seasons have been propitious. As a general rule, I would advise against the practice. —State Agricultural Department. Disinfecting Stables. Question.—P disinfection lease of stables, give me where directions for ani¬ mals with contagious disease have been kept. Answer.— Remove all litter and rub¬ bish of every kind and burn. Haul out all manure to the field, scatter aud plow under. Dissolve two ounces of carbolic acid in a gallon of water, heat, and with it wash thoroughly all feed troughs, wa¬ tering troughs, fodder racks, aud other woodwork. Whitewash everywhere, inside and out, adding to the wash one pound of chloride of lime to every four gallons of water. Remove and burn all rotten wood¬ work about the stable. In cases of glanders, all harness* poles and shafts should be carefully washed with hot water aud soap, aud then rubbed with oil, in which put one part of carbolic acid to ten of oil. If you have plank fence around lot in which the animal has run at large, whitewash the same as stable. If you have rail fence, re¬ place with new rails, burning the old ones. In cases of glanders only the ut- mostcare will prevent contagion, and where stables are inexpensive, the safest plan is to build anew in a different place, burning up the old premises.— State Agricultural Department “Yellow*" In Peach Tree*. Question. — Is there any remedy known for the "yellows” in peach trees? Answer. —Very many efforts have been made to cure this apparently mys¬ terious and most destrnotive disease, but all without avail. Even the cause of the disease has not yet been deter¬ mined with certainty. We do know that it is highly contagious, and liable to Attack the most vigorous trees of any age. especially when in bloom. It is also known to be hereditary. The only plan so far used successfully for fighting this disease is to oat down and born the tree, root and branch. By this heroic treatment the disease may at least be held in check. Good care and thorough cultivation appear to render the trees less liable to attack, though they by no means secure immunity from it. This disease is very common in the orchards of the east and north, but as yet has done but little harm in Georgia Want ot proper cultivation, and the work ot the "borer,” will frequently cause peach trees to appear as though they had the "yellows,” but the disease is as yet rare with ns, and it should not be permitted by any carelessness to obtain a firm foothold.—State Agricultural De¬ partment.
