who has also TO follow the profession of

Crane Vines Diving.

We are informed that in a southeast direc-
ton from the city, and on the thin lands be-
tween the city and Florin, quite large num-
Der of grape vines are dying. Vines full of
foliage and fruit, and IN apparent health and
vigor, suddenly begin to droop, their leaves
wilt and burn in the sun. the fruit shrivels,
and in few days the entire vine is dead.
What the cause Of this strange phenomenon
nay be is yet mystery to the farmers, and
so far as we have learned but little effort has
been made to investigate the subject. Upon
inquiry, however, we learn that irrigation
has been practiced as freely this spring, in
this vicinity, as in previous seasons. and this
fact has suggested to our mind the question
whether irrigation has not been oyerdone,
and the roots Of the vines caused to decay
from too much water. A water-tight hard
pan or subsoil. varying in depth from two to
eight feet deep. Is one of the peculiarities of
this section. The rains of the spring were
unusually late, cold and heavy, filing the
entire surface soil with water. The weather
during the whole season has been cold and
comparatively damp, so that evaporation has
been slow. The water for irrigation has been
pumped up from wells, and has been cold,
and being poured into The soil above the hard
pan, has kept it cold and wet and clammy,
just as cold well-water wiz keep the soil in a
flower-pot that has no hole in the bottom
through which it can escape. Every house
keeper who has had any experience in cult
waiting Ornamental pot-plants has learned
that plants so treated cannot do well, and
that if such treatment be continued too long
they are sure to die Now, as we are in
formed, the vineyards in the section referred
to have been brought this year into condi-
ton of over.watered pot-plants in bottom
tight pots, and we should not be surprised if
it should be found that this Is the cause Of
the vines dying SO unceremordously. Grape
vines cannot live on water alone, any more
than man can live on air-much more than
forty days, at least.

Rnst On wbeat snd the North wind.

During the long-continued north wind of
last spring it was generally feared that the
wheat crop would be ruined, but it is now
conceded that had not the north wind come
Just as it did, and continued as long as it did,
the wheat would have been greatly injured by
rust. There certainly was never time when
the growing wheat all over the State was in a
more favorable condition to be attacked by
rust than at the beginning Of the three
weeks blow from the north we had in April
and May last. And rust was at that time
actually making its appearance in many
wheat fields. But the north wind came and
continued without cessation for twenty
days, and when it finally ceased the general
feeling was that we would not harvest more
than half crop of wheat. 1t has turned
out however, that we have harvested the
largest crop ever before harvested in the
State. 1t will be remembered that immedi-
ately upon the cessation of the norther the
weather became cool and the south wind
brought moisture with it, and under its in
fiuence the grain began TO recuperate. But
the rust had been so completely checked that
all danger from that cause was past. The
favorable weather after the norther was but
a continuance of that that had preceded it,
and but for the change our crops would have
gone to the rust worse than they did the year
before The value of our northers was never
before so thoroughly tested. We have been
looking for years for an antidote to
rust on wheat, and now nature has stepped in
and shown us that antidote. Nature has at
least in one case shown us also just how much
of this antidote is necessary to produce a
cure But have we learned anything in the
premises that we can turn to advantage in
the future? Can we bring on a north wind
in any future season when our wheat is
threatened with rust, and can we cause it to
cease just before it has gone so far as to blast
our wheat crops? Future scientific research
may possibly answer these questions in the
affirmative, but at the present time we only
know that the north wind is remedy, and,
to a certain extent, a cure for rust, and the
only one we do know of as certainly effective.
