WHITE HALL, KY, Sept. 1883 in
your Journal Of the Ord of August you
speak Of grape rot" aud propose slak-
ed lime as remedy. / have been
raising grapes for lifetime. My
father raised several varieties Of native
grapes, which were grown as in their
wild stale, all the branches uncut and
-preud QUITO the sun. OF course, there
was no "roi." He also had a foreign
grape, name unknown here, except it
was called "Sweet Water" from its
structure and taste-a light transparent
red without pulp, but filled with sweet
juice. The lunches were struggling.
with many undeveloped berries. This
grape was never shortened in its
leugIh, and hut little trimmed, if at
all 10 The fall the vine was cut loose
from the trellis and buried in a trench
cut in the earth along the whole length
over twenty feet. OF course this
grape had the "Tot"
took up all the modern grapes
beginning with the North Carolina
Catawba, imported 10y Nicholas Long
worth. 1 have followed the general
course of trimming closely in this fruit
ful soil, after the European cliff and
poor chalk culture, aud found that all
varieties took the rOt-the white varie-
Ties most. And generally The rot was
worst about July, when the vine was
most vigorous, the dews the heaviest
and the grspes most plentiful.
After a while / observed a Catawba
vine, trained Oh the ell Of a brick house
which was allowed full length and
never trimmed-perhaps forty feet
long. 1t bore well and never took the
rot. So my two elder sisters cultivat-
ed wires fifty feet long perhaps, run
ming and covering "a single vine) the
whole space from the roof 10 the
ground. These last vines were manur-
ed heavily with litter from the horse
stables put upon the surface for the
space of about thirty-six square feet.
They were rarely If ever trimmed and
were full bearers-but never had rot.
In the meantime, following the COM
mon error, planted a two acre vine
yard OF CatawLas and Issbellas, ran
them on stakes-trenched and cut
closely. They too took the rot. The
large vineyards over the Cincinnati
hills. planted by foreign wine-growing
immigrants, also were subject to the
rot, and cut away.
nov began to use my reason, and
studied the CAUSES which made some
grapes flourish and others rot Oh the
same soil. I planted before 1860 seven
varieties on the brick walls of my
dwelling from the North-e east to the
Southwest corners. They were allow
ed to cover Eve times the space Of the
stake system. They are all now -four
ishing and there has been no rot in
these twenty-eight years ! then cut

This important product was subject
to many hindrances. Late planting,
bad stands, late spring, cut worm and
cbinch bug.
On the Goth of August a severe rain
and wind storm blew a great deal
down and tangled it up badly. All

But the large acreage and thorough
cultivation will result after all in q

clover has greatly improved. Irish
potatoes are about go per cent of a

The crop is excellent in quality, with
an increased yield, and will make a
very high grade -four. Farmers claim
ed loss of a about per cent on
wheat remaining in stacks or shocks

There is yet from ] to I of the crop
on the hill. The early planting has all
been housed, but rains in August and
September gave a new life to the late
planting, and kept it green and grow
ing. In a few more days it will all be
cut, but very much will be cut before
ripening. Much Of the crop will be Of
good quality. All of it will be very
ieafy and gummy, but the late plant
ing will be coarse of fibre, with large
stem. There will be less color than
was expected. The bright will gener-
ally be found on new land and the
higher soil, and will be largely coufin-
ed to the early cuttings.
The crop is very little worm eaten,
but is damaged by spots or patch fire.
and much of ii on bottom lands was
submerged ana worthless. The frost
on Saturday night has done very con-
siderable damage in the very low
lands, especially in Northern aud
Eastern Kentucky and Ohio. The ex-
tent Of such damage cannot be estimat-
ed as yet. The greatest danger now
is barn freezing. Much yet depends
Oh the weather conditions.

OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL.
OGiciAl Business.
BOISE CITY, Idaho, April IS, 'SS.
To the District Attorneys and Assessors of the
Several Counties:
Gentlemen-Your attention is re.
spectfully called to the provisions of
Chapter Four Of Title Ten Of the
Political Code as to the assessment of
property for taxation.
Section l425 expressly requires
that all taxable property shall be as.
sessod AT ITS FULL CASH VALUE, and
that Cha pter gives ample power to
the Assessor to enable him to ascer-
tain all taxable property in his county,
while Section l43O prcscribcs very
stringent affidavit to be taken by
the taxpayer, and Section 1872 au-
thorizes the Assessor to subpoena and
examine witnesses, so that i'll most
cases any omission must be "through
his williul failure or neglect" within
the terms of Section 1857, and sub
iect the Assessor and his sureties to
the penalties Of that and the succeed.
ing sections.
1t is notorious that Assessors in any
counties avowedly assess both real
and personal property, and in some
cases even money and public aud
other securities, at forty five or fifty
per cent. of their known ard &C
knowledged cash value. Such course
is in direct violation of the official
duty of Assessors and no such officer
can truthfully make oath to his assess
ment book as required by Section 1853
of the Revised Statutes.
If such wilful violatian OF plain of
fetal duty is persisted in and the dis
graceful evasions of law shown by
the assessments of last year are at
tempted to be repeated this
year, it will become the duty
of the District Attorney to com
mence All action to remove any such
Assessor from Office as provided BY II.
S. 1905, and in a proper case to in
st.tute criminal proceedings and an
action against the officer and his
surities under r, S. 1451 and subse-
quent provisions.
District Attorneys will please repor,
to this office the condition of this and
all other public business intrusted to
their charge, at twelve o'clock noon,
on the first day Of June next, as pro-
vided by subdivision 5 of Section $50
