OUR RURAL TOPICS.

Some Practical Suggestions for Our AgrI-
cultural Readers.
Some of the extensive growers Of spinach
near New York are seriously troubled with
the whitening and dying of the leaves of the
spinach plant In some places recently seen
during visit to these fields. the whole area is
materially changed in its appearance, and the
growers well aware of this tried to account
for the injury done upon climatic basis; that
Is, the weather had done it. The plants are
in bad shape, the sales will be small compared
with what they ought to be, and the weather
has done it. The accompanying engraving will
give fair idea of the appearance of one Of
the injured leaves. It will be seen that the
upper portion of the leaf is much contracted,
and that there are large white patches scattered
without order over the leaf; the lower and left
hand side being less affected. These white
patches are almost chalk color when seen upon
the natural leaf. When first injured, If the
leaves are held up to the light, it is seen that
the green of the healthy leaf has entirely disap-
peared from these patches, and all that is left
consists mainly of the two skins, upper and
under, of the leaf. This is the condition Of
things in an old patch; but if the examination
is carried out further, patches may be found
IN which the green is only partially displaced

AN INJURED LEAF OF sp1NAcg.

An INJURED LEAF OF SPINAcH.
by yellowish color. and in addition upon the
| under surface of such yelIowish patches there
| may be seen fine, somewhat purplish coating
| to the surface affected. This outgrowth over
the leaves tells Us much of the story of the
cause of this serious trouble. In this particlar
case of spinach disease we have welI-knovu
fungOus parasite, usually unmixed with any
thing else.
1t is the spinach mildew (Perononspora Efass,
Rabenh,) and its development, well favored by
certain conditions of the weather, is the pri.
mary cause of the trouble. It develops from
the spores minute bodies which are capable of
being disseminated through the air by means
of flowing water. These spores terminate upon
the surface of the sueeuIent leaves of the SPIN
aeh, and quickly send minute foraging roots"
into the tissue of the leaf, robbiug it of its
accumulated nourishment and rapidly develop
ing the yellowish patches, which are the first
indications of the presence of the mildeW,
After short time the fungus sends to the sur
face of the leaf certain threads which, growing
out of the stomats, extend into the air, branch
profusely, and bear upon the tips of the main
branches the multitudes of spores which, float
of dissemination and propagation of the dis
tressing mildew. The old ashy and dead
portions of the leaf are those that have been
entirely robbed of their substance by these
parasites.
1t is doubtless true that conditions of weather
favor the development Of this fungus. It is
member of destructive genus of plant para
Sites all of which are fond of moisture and
warmth, and when these conditions obtain in
connection with an abundance of food mate
rial. as found in the sueeulent spinach leaves,
one gets rapid and full development of the
destroyer, and the crop is q comparative fail
ure.
The nature of the trouble being known, and
the conditions under which the casual parasite
fourishes, it is evident that the remedy must
consist in either preventing the access of the
spores or killing them so soon as they find their
way to the host plants. This is an instance
where fungieide could be used with success
The spinach plants as they are growing in the
field may be sprayed once or twice week with
either the Bordeaux mixture or some other
compound ofeopper, and in this way the destruc-
ton might be materially diminished. The only
point of difficulty is that of reaching the under
surface of the leaves, the shape of the leaf and
its position near the ground somewhat prevent
ing the coating over of the under surface with
a film of the fungicides. With care, placing
the nozzle of the sprayer to the side of the
plant and close to the ground, this could be ac-
complished, and the work done with consider
able rapidity.-Ameriean Gardening.

the truth of the following statement:
at is not generally known" says the Barnes
vile (Ga) Republican, II that Wirz, the Ander-
sonville prison demon, who was hung for violat-
ing the laws of civilized warfare, in starving
thousands of Union soldiers was the fsther-in-
law of Hoke Smith, the present Commissioner
of Pensions The latter seems to have imbibed
Virus hatred for the defenders of the Union"
We referred the matter to Gen. ]. r. Lewis,
of Atlanta, Past JuniOr-VIee COmmander-in-
Chief, GAR, who replies:
There is no truth whatever in the state
ment. Hon. Hoke Smith is the son of Con-
necticut man, aud his wife is a granddaughter
of the late Gen. Howell Cobb, of Georgia, and
daughter of Gen. Hoke, of North Carolina.
He is no relation of Wirz."
