ing the season:
Rust In Small Grain.

The rust disease of wheat oats, bar
ley and grasses generally, are caused
BY one or more Of three species Of mi.
cEoscopic fungi. The most COMMON
rust on grasses in this State is Pucinnia
erdminis. generally called "Mildew"
on grasses, and BLACK Rust" on
cereals. Our most common rust fun.
gus on small grain is Pucinnia Rubigo.
,rera. usually called Red Rust" Pu-
clnnid cOr0ndt0, also called Red rust is
the third. The last species is more
common on oats than on any other
and might be properly called oat rust.
All three species belong to the class of
parasite fungi called Heterucismal, that
Is to say. fungi which at different
times in the cycle of their growth live as
parasites upon two or more hosts.
Grass mildew, Pucinnia araminis,
begins its spring growth by at
lacking the young leaves of the Bar.
berry. Mahonia, and possibly other
shrubs. Upon these it produces small
redish patches with elevated margins
called cluster cups" These cups are
filled with the red Aecidio spores of
the fungus which waited by the air or
carried by insects, birds or other agent
fall upon the leaves Of grasses or cereal
grains and there penetrate the
leaves through the breathing spores.

Crop Conditions During September, 1895

Srop Conoitions During september, 1910
The following is extracted from the
weekly weather crop bulletin Of the
state Weather service for Oct Z, 1895,
and gives the crop conditions at the
close Of the season:
The month of September was favor
able to about the fifteenth; then, how
ever. o severe drought set in, with
probably the most remarkable hot spell
ever recorded in this State for Septem
Der. The maximum temperature re-
manned above 80 degrees Except in the
mountain sections) for nine consecu-
tive days. the highest being lO3 degrees
In the Central District and exceeding
100 at many points in the Eastern.
These conditions forced rapid open
ing of cotton; small bolls and leaves
were shed considerably. and the top
crop to a great extent was prematurely
ripeEed- The corn crop was. however,
beyond the reach Of damage. All the
smaller crops. late potatoes, peas. pea
nuts. etc, suffered from drought. The
conditions were very favorable for sa.
wing hay and fodder. of which large
quantities have been stored But fall
blowing and planting have been com.
pletely interrupted by the dryness. At
the end Of September. streams and
wells were getting very low.
The drought continued during the
first week Of October. and farming
operations are at standstill except
picking cotton. which has progressed
rapidly. and gathering of corn. Cot
ton has opened SO rapidly that the crop
will probably be gathered early. The
harvest Of rice is about completed. On
the first of October frost occurred over
considerable portion of the State.
which did some damage to tobacco yet

ure in temperature and precipitation for

Oniona for Market.

Which is the best onion to grow for
market in this section?-J. $. ID. w.,
Brinkland, Bladen Co., N. c.
Answered by w. F. Massey, Horticul'
turist N. c. Experiment Station.
It depends upon how you propose to
sell your onions. 1fyou wish an onion =
to sell early as green bunch onion.
would advise you to plant in October
sets of the Early Pearl, or of the white
potato onion If your object is to grow
a mature crop of onions, that will keep
for late sales, then I would SOW in
February seed of the Southport White
Globe, or the Opal (red). Or you may.
if you have some glass sashes, SOW
seed of the Prizetaker in frame under
glass, in January. and transplant the
young plants in March and get croI
of extra sized onions. But this variety
must be sold as soon as ripe for they
will not keep. The big yellow onions
now seen at the stores are OF this va
riety.

Mr.. ED1roK:-I consider this touch

sweetest gem which has found its way
to the public for many years. The
sad end of the author and the pathetic
story Of his life makes 1t more impress

Oct. ~, 1895. ID. SCHENCK.
Oh, is there is no home for the wounded
and weary,
The heart that is broken, the eye that is
teary,
The mind that is sad and the soul that is
dreary?
Oh, is there no home in some planet on
high,
Mid the numberless stars of the beautiful
sky?
Yea God hath provided, a mansion above,
Whose timbcrs were grown III the gafdeh
of love;
Whose walls are as bright as the sheen OF
the snow
As the sheen of the shield Of the sun in its
glow,
He hath built me home in some planet
on high.
Mid the numberless stars Of the beautiful
sky.
He gave to my fathers home on this
earth
But sin has discovered the ties Of my birth.
And life is shadOW-a mist of the morn
ing
That fades from the hills with the light
of the dawning;
Yet still there's Il home in some planet on
high,
Mid the numbcrless stars of the beautiful
sky.
/ know not the orb that will be my abode,
But | know 1T was formed by the finger OF
God,
That my mansion is empty, and | must
await
Till He shall command me enter the
gate
Till the angel Of death in mercy shall
come,
TO bear nc TO dwell in my beautiful
home,
My home that is built in some planet on
high,
Mid the numberless stars of the beautiful
sky.

And the peaches you don't find.

DEAD SINCE 1EDNEsDAf.


The Body OF William Priest Found on
Saturday Morning Near the Race Track
at HAre's Corner.
The dead body of William Priest, a
farm laborer aged about 80 years, was
found alongside the race track at Hare's
Corner on Saturday by two negroes.
They were walking along the road,
going TO work, and were attracted to the
body by the odor which could be dis
cerned some distance away.
They went to the roadside and looked
in the enclosure to discover the origin,
when the dead body was seen lying
under a cherry tree near the race track.
The two men made u hasty examina-
ton aud notified the deputy coroner,
who went out to IIare's Corner at once.
The man must have died Oh Wednes-
day, for the body was very much de-
cayed and was sickening sight when
Deputy Coroner Chandler reached it'll
Mr.. Chandler found about SO in changl
in the pockets of the mans clothing
three photographs of himself and Il
postal card addressed TO him.
There were no evidences Of foul pla
and as no weapons were found, te
cause of death is q mystery. He Nd
evidently been drinking. John Wetz
said he saw Priest in the bar-roou OF
the Hare's Corner Hotel on Tuesay
night, and also on Wednesday, out
nobody can recollect having seen aim
! since.
A jury was empaneled, and fter
hearing the witnesses, tncludlng the
physicians who looked at tle remains,
adjourned to meet at the call d the
coroner. The body was 50 badly de-
composed that it was iaterree in ptter's
field.
Priest has been working fr HINDER
son Merrick, at Red Lpn, Chester
county, Pa, and about two weeks ago
went 70 Newport to visit aiamilyllving
there. He has been knockiis abolt ever
since he came TO DelaEare, ard it
is thought that he met death while
drunk, and possibly was slastrEk. He
has sister living in Lancaster county.
