Cause Of Rust on Wheai.-In examining sew.
eral agricultural works, | have noticed many
lenthy articles the cause Of rust on wheat, but
none of them fully agree with nay views of the
cause. My views may be incorrect, as l have
had little experience in wheat growing, but
think most farmers will agree with me on reAec.

cited by one of my neighbors observing to me that
there was something very extraordinary in his
wheat; that he had two pieces adjoining each 9TH

harvesting, although on good ground as the 9TH
or, whilo the other was entirely FREQ from rust
This led me to enquire Of him whether the soil
was the slma, whether one was not in a moro ex-
posed situation to the wind, whether it was the
same kind of whea: sown, whether it was sown
at the same time. ascertaned that it was the
same in every respect. AT last asked him
whether it was all manured alike. He replied
that the part that was rusty he manured heavily.
This led to the inquiry how the manu- could thus
affect it,. came to the conclusion that rust is oc-
casioned by a rapid flow of the sap, brought about
| by a warm rain on fresh manure, that affects the
flow Of sap,-which makes it to flow so profusc-

spot of rust. One other case came to my notice
last year, which confirms me in my opinion
