Bacterial Rot Of Cabbaxe.

Newspaper bulletin No. SO Of the IN
diana experiment station says: With
In the past few years bacterial dis
ease OF the cabbage has become SO
prevalent In certain cabbage-growing
localities as to occasion very serious
losses to those engaged in the business.
Although 1t has been said to occur
In Indiana. 1t has not come to the at
tention OF the station until recently.
Several fields In the vicinity Of La
fayette affected with this bacterial dis
ease, have been examined by the writer
the present season. In one OF these
fields, containing over 10000 plants,
which were attacked early in the sea-
son, not a single marketable head was
obtained. In other fields, Judging from
cursory examination. from 10 to so
per cent Of the heads were affected.
In view of these facts, 1t has been
thought best to send out a note OF
warning In regard to the disease, in
oroer that such precautionary measures
as are deemed most valuable may be at
once employed in keeping 1t In check.
Fortunately the life history of the dis
ease has been quite thoroughly studied
OF late. and the result of the inyestiga-
lions, together with other valuable in
formation, may be found in Bulletin
No. IS, OF the Wisconsin experiment
station, and Farmers Bulletin No. 68,
OF the U. s. department of agriculture.
The latter bulletin is sent free on ap-
plication to the secretary OF agricul-
ture.
The conclusions of these investiga-
tors, although working independently,
are essentially the same. Both are
agreed that the only hope of success
fuliy combating the disease Is In the
careful observance OF several precau-
tionary measures.
symptoms OF Disease-A dwarfing
or one-sided growth OF the heads, or in
case OF an early attack, the entire alb
sence OF any heads. Occasionally the
heads rot and fall OF.
In the leaves the symptoms usually
begin at the margins and consist Of
yellowing Of all the affected parts, ex-
cept the veins, which become decidedly
brown or black.
lnfection.-The bacterial germ is
conveyed to the leaves of the plant by
wind or insects, and in most cases
gains an entrance to the tissues of the
plant through the edges of the leaf.
Precautionary Measures.-As there
is no remedy known, preventive meas
ures must be relied on in combating
the disease These measures are as
follows:
Avoid planting in land on which in
fected plants have been grown. Sew
eral years may be necessary to rid the
land of the germs.
Do not use manure, containing de-
cayed cabbage leaves, or stalks either
in the seed bed or field.
Wet land should be avoided, as 1t
favors the development of the disease.
Keep the plants as free from insects
as possible.
Remove and destroy all diseased
plants or portions of the plant. as soon
as diseased condition is noticed.
II any OF the readers of this article
have been troubled with the disease,
they will confer favor by reporting
the same to the Indiana experiment
station at Lafayette.

The vervs.n Plant.

The plant known as vervain, which
is not distinguished for its beauty, and
which grows nowadays utterly disre-
garded, was SO sacred to the Druids
that they only gathered 1t for their
divinations when the great dog-star
arose, in order that neither sun nor
moon should see the deed.

Time for Drainage Work.-The ques-
ton is sometimes asked: when Is the
best time to tile drain?" This Ques-
ton might very properly be answered
by saying. whenever one has time and
good tools. There are certain times.
though, when tile draining can be done
much easier and cheaper than others.
In the fall and spring the ground is
almost invariably we'll saturated with
water, making the opening of the
trenches much easier than when the
ground is dry and hard. Once in a
great while one finds peculiar soil
that digs almost or quite as easily when
wet, but such soils are the exception.
