The season just past seems to have
been unusually favorable to the deveI-
opment Of fungous diseases. This is
especially true with reference to the
loose smut of wheat and oats. Owing
to this fact, numerous inquiries have
come to the station in regard to some
method for its prevention. At pres
ent 1t is well known that the loose
smut of wheat and other cereals is
caused by minute fungus, which
enters the plant while very young and
lives inside its tissues. developing its
fruit or spores in the head OF the

ing capacity. He was editor OF the
Christian Repository, published at
Waco, Tex, for several years, and
because of his variance of doctrine
he was put on trial by the Waco
Baptist Church, of which he was a
member, and his credentials as a
minister were taken from him, but
they were soon restored by anoth-
er church. He has always con.
tended that he was not at variance
with his Baptist brethren, and his
great ambition seemed to have
been to convince them that he be-
lleved as they did and the differ
ence was only one OF expression.
Some accused him of endeavOring
to start a separate denomination
of his own, but this he always re-
pudiated. His doctrine has caused
much agitation in the two States
named for several years. Rev. DR..
Martin died on "a train while en-

plant pay its own running expenses.
No private enterprise would expect to
make large profits in eight months, but
it would be sorely disappointed if the
enterprise did not pay running ex-
penses. The plant has undoubtedly
been run as economically as was pos
sible for the board to run it, barring
the six dollars worth of ice, and when
we all know what the revenues have
been therefrom since the plant was
taken charge of by the city, each
month, we can then make a tolerably
good and correct estimate of what to
expect in the future.

SUITS
SOMEWHAT MINED.

EDITOR LEADER 1T might be of
some interest to the people of Brook
haven to know how we'll and how econ
omically the city's affairs have been
run for the past fiscal year, as shown
by the report of the city clerk, espec-
tally with reference to the water works
and electric light plant. The plant
was turned over to the city about the
1st of February and has been run by it
from that date on. In view of the omi-
nous predictions made bymany people,
l will attempt to make few observa-
tions on the subject and submit few
figures taken from the report.
Under the head of Power House Ex-
pense Fund it is shown that the plant
has cost in running expenses, the sum
of s44O4.34 for eight months. This
amount includes salaries of employees
repairs and fuel and other items of ex-
pense. Under the same heading in
the column devoted to resources and
expenditures it will be seen that in the
same time time the plant has brought
in in rents for water and light the sum
of s3296.5O, leaving according to this
showing s1107.S4 to be made up from
other sources. The amount of $1,000
represents the amount of power house
expenses over and above the revenues
derived therefrom. However, in look
ing over the statement it will be found
that other items properly belonging to
this list have inadvertently become
mixed with other accounts, towit, the
items:
