Cucumber might.

A bulletin OF tho Maine Experiment
Station says:
During the past few years the cul-
turo OF cucumbers for pickles has be-
como an important industry In cer-
tain sections OF the state, Last year,
however, the losses due TO "blight'
were so severe that many growers be-
came discouraged, and the area de-
voted TO this crop will DO reduced.
The blight" referred TO is caused by
the downy mildew which nrst made
Its appearance IN the United States In
1889. It occurs quite generally through
out New England and the middle states
and as far west 40 Ohio In localities
where II has previously occurred, II
may be expected to roappear the pres
ent senson; and the range OF It's occur
renee Is likely TO be extended. The
amount OF damage done by the disease
depends very largely upon the condi-
tlon Of the weather during July and
August. Hot and moist or "muggy"
weather will induce rapid growth OF
the fungus; white II the weather Is
dry and cool, much less trouble will
follow. BY carefully conducted expert
ments In the cucumber fields OF Long
Island, II has been proved beyond
question that Bordeaux mixture Is an
effective preventive OF the disease.
Spraying should be commenced when
the plants nrst break through the
ground and repeated at intervals Of
ten days through the season.

The Gritty Ploneer.--It was grass
hopper year In the northwestern coun-
ties OF Iowa He was trying to hold
on to his farm in spite Of discourage
ments which were almost oyerwhelm-
ing. His house was q sod shack, his
barn few poles and pile OF straw,
his grain fields stripped clean by the
grasshopper scourge. Ho was ragged,
unkempt. and his wife and little onOD,
his team and entire outfit seemed par
alyzed with poverty. He had nothing
to offer us but some cold johnny-calte
and cup Of cold water when we
sought to get some refreshments at his
place. He was wlthal gritty, and said
he was going to stick 1t out somehow.
This was about twenty years ago. Last
year we were at his place again. There
was a nice, large house, big red barn,
wealth OF cereal crops, focks and
herds; the grasshopper tree claim had
become S50-an-acre-farm, and the
grit and courage Of the pioneer was at
last splendidly rewarded. s. Trigg
