ASHES FOR WHEAT.-A correspond
ent of the Rural Gentleman, who writes
very strongly in favor of ashes to pre-
vent rust in wheat, supports his argu
ments by facts adduced from his own
experience. He has in numerous in
stances found them to possess marked
value, cxerting three-fold power for
good. We extract from the article the
following paragraphs:
l. The ashes operate as a manure
upon the wheat, even in the limited
quantity of eight tushels per acre.
2. They push the wheat forward Sc.
veral days, and in time to escape the
hot, sultry days, which often prevail
about the time of the "heading out" of
the wheat; and
8. They strengthen the stem, giving
it substance and solidlty.
I may here add one or two more pro.
perties to the ashes; they afford just
that kind of pabulum or food which is
best for the development and perfection
of the grain, and will, in my opinion,
also prevent the ravages of the fly in
wheat. I would here venture the re.
mark, that whoever tries this expert.
ment.'will thereafter spread his wood
asLcs uponIhis wheat as above indicated;
and in SO doing he will effectually guard
against and prevent the rust in his
wheat.

COTTON-THE RUST-IrS CAUSE

COTTON-THE RUSl-llS CAUSc.
Editors Chronicle and Sentinel:
send you the following in compli-
ance with your request asking informa-
ton from every source about the cotton
crop, and particularly Of the progress
and appearance of kind Of rust or
blight about which the cry is so gener-
al. This locality is down with the
same complaint. No plantation and
but few fields have thus far escaped
On light sandy soil it is widespread,
aud cotton injured beyond hope of re-
demPtion. On red, stiff land, the dam
age is not yet 80 great. On my own
place, the early cotton on light land has
done all it can do-this disease has de-
stroyed all its fruit from the first Of
August. On my stiff land it has only
appeared "'in spots," and has as yet
done no. great injury. I have some
cotton planted in June-it is growing
rapidly; and is apparently free from
this disease.
What is the ca.se of this rust ? Fer
tilizers have not done it, because un.
manured lands have not escaped its
ruinous effect. Neither wet nor dry
weather has caused It, because in locali-
ties where the seasons have been very
favorable the same complaint is heard.
The change from excessively hot to cool,
windy weather may have had something
to do with it. But the main source from
which has emanated allthis evil is Lice
Every leaf of cotton has its hundreds.
FoI month or more I have noticed
that cotton has had, what have heard
some old farmers call the "honeydew."
That is, as soon in the morning as the
dew dries, all the outside of the leaves
have the appearance ofbeing vanished
or washed over with syrup -oShoney.-
On examining these leaves I have al.
ways found that wherever the lice more
aboundedj there the varnish or honey
was more apparent. Cotton at this time
Of, the year is liable to rust; and some
fields always have it in spots. 1 have
noticed that all lands that mature rapidly
the more susceptible are they of rust
In lands of this character the cotton
plant at this time Of the year seems to
have taken up all the life-sustaining ele-
ments from the soil and the weed has
ealy food enough in store to keep up
what'it now'has on hand; any injury or
detriment which may call for any extra
effort seems to destroy the vigor of the
whole plant and it falls rapidly to pieces.
It is on fields of this character that the
effects of the lice have been so fatal
On red lands where the growth is not SO
rapid, cotton taking a long time to ma
turc and there being some element in
the soil togive the plant vitality to con.
tinue to contend against misfortunes.
cotton has not yet succumbed to this
disease, though the fight is now going
on and it may yet have to yield.
,;aaIcs hasten n" growth Of maturity
Of cotton very much aud generally its
life-increasing properties are wearing

sons. Poor lands that have been made
rich by fertilizers, ifa drawback is given
them now they will never recover, for
this reason : The supply of guano is al
most exhausted-there is not enough
left for any extra efort-and the weeds
being large requires more nutriment
than the natural strength of the land
can supply, hence rust may be now more
general on poor ..land highly fertilized
have an experimental field of more
than twenty acres, each acre of which is
highly manured with different kind of
fertilizer. This field was planted late
and the land is stiff. This cotton is
seemingly doing we'll, is growing rapid
ly, and is of beautiful dark green color.
But it has millions of lice upon it, all its
leaves glisten with this honeyed varnish,
and the older, bottom leaves are crumb-
ling up and dropping off. Though the
weed is large, yet, on account of its
bottom leaves, the whole field has that
open appearance which is peculiar to
piney woods country where there is no
undeigrowth. If something should
"turn up" to make the lice suspend
their depreciation this field will yet do
well, but I fear that it, too, will soon
succumb to be engulphed in the COM
mon ruin.
