Cucumber Melon Diseases,

Cucumber Melon Diseases.
The April bulletin of the Ohio Ex-
pertinent Station thus summarizes the
report of experiments in the treatment
Of cucumbers and melon diseases:
The cucumber pickle industry con-
t1nues to increase in Ohio and the
yields Of pickles have been more satis-
factory for 1898 than for the previous
year. The abundant rains, we'll dis
tributed, and the high mean temper
atures for the growing months have
contributed to this end.
The downy mildew of cucumbers and
allied plants, ,Plasmopara Cubensis, has
been fully as destructive to the plants
during the season named as in 1897,
but owing to the earlier harvesting OF
the crop the actual reduction of yields
has been only about one-han as great
from this cause.
Anthracnose OF cucurbits, COlleto-
trichum Lagenarium, has increased in
abundance and destructiveness. A
wilt Of cucumbers and muskmelons,
referred to a species of Fusarium, has
also prevailed, besides the usual wilt
disease. Phyllosticta Cucurbitacearum
and Cercospora Cucurbitae have also
been found spotting cucumber leaves
as well as Cercospora Citrullina upon
watermelon foliage.
Cooperative spraying experiments
upon commercial scale have given an
increase of seventy-fve bushels per
acre upon sprayed, compared with un-
sprayed cucumber pickle vines, at
tackled by downy mildew. The profits
from this treatment were not so large
as would have accrued from similar
work in 1897, for reasons pertaining to
earliness of crop.
The practicability of saving the late
crop of cucumbers from downy mil
dew, by use of Bordeaux mixture, is
fully demonstrated by the experiments
made. Spraying for this purpose need
not be begun earlier than July Is to
August l. If crop of pickles or Gu
cumbers is harvested by August Is,
spraying for doWny mildew is not re-
Quired. .
Spraying of anthracnose, downy mil
dew and leaf blight OF muskmelons is
still recommended, although some fall
ures are recorded.
Previous recommendation as to the
treatment of late tomato plants with
Bordeaux mixture to prevent tomato
leaf blight, Septoria Lycopersici, are
again repeated.

ash but they are likely to need either
nitrogen or phosphoric acid and are
usually benefited by both. Comp1ete
fertilizers should not be applied by the
farmer without reservation. They are
only complete as they meet the re-
qu1rements of his soil. On clay soils
bone meal is usually very effective
fertilizer 1t supplies phosphoric acid
and potash and also lime, which usual
~ exerts beneficial mechanical effect
on clay. Acid phosphates or South
Carolina rock acts in the same way
except that it contains no nitrogen.
TRe average sandy soil is always de-
nc1ent in all OF the three principal fer
tlllzing constituents. It is not only
necessary to supply the soil therefore
with nitrogen, phosphoric acid and
potash but organic matter will prove
beneficial as well. If barnyard ma
nure Is not available plowing under
green crops will serve the result. By
a systematic method Of rotation and
pasturage together with the use of
commercial fertilizers, sandy soils can
be brought to the highest state of pro-
ouctiveness. In the determination Of
"nat Kind Of fertilizer and how much
shall be applied to particular soil the
farmer must be his own guide-he
must make his own field experiments
and profit by them from year to year.
Field experiments conducted in his
same locality but on a heavy black
soil, whereas his might be a light
sandy soil, would be of little or no
benefit to him. In general way
sandy soils are leachy and non-endur-
ing while clay soils are of an enduring
fertility, mainly because they do not
wash excessively nor allow the water
to leach from. them the plant foods
which they contain.

Not month passes but some spy is
taken, French or German, on the
Franco-German frontier. The case of
the latest unfortunate man is typical
Alfred Pinchon, 26 years old, left the
French army with the grade Of adju-
tant. Well to do, he had no need to
go spying. Love Of adventure and a
patriotic ardor led him to it. His
1ether being in the leather business,
Pinchon made his special knowledge
OF the trade his travelling excuse. Max
ing Nancy-where his father set him
up a branch establishmeat-his
center, the young adventurer made
frequent business trips' into AL
sace-Lorraine and Germany. In
deed, he was even on the point
OF concluding contract with the
German army when his mistress, girl
or German sympathies, betrayed him.
1t is true nowadays that spies are not
shot in time of peace, and Pinchon is
not likely to get more than five years
imprisonment. But even this is dear
price to pay for patriotic effort. The
French president has just pardoned
General Garletta, condemned for the
same offense. Such clemency, however,
is exceptional. Spies-patriotic or
merely mercenary-take their own
risks.
The ordinary spy work on this most
Jealous Of all frontiers is peculiarly
Systematic. 4 month or two in ad-
vance the French Etat Major commu-
nlcates a programme to the spy, with
maps prepared by the German gov
eminent which have arrived in France
through traitorous channels If work
has already been done in the region full
details OF it are communicated to the
spy. During this preparatory time his
work must be to study up the region
from these documents in such a. wav
that he will know them all by heart. A
spy must not be caught with maps or
papers on him.
When he is perfect, officers of the fa-
NOUS Second Bureau put him through a
vigorous examination. Several ad-
dresses, both in France and Germany.
TO which he must send his correspond
ence, are given to him, and he is rec
commended to change them to avoid
suspicion. German gold and notes are

Stock for European Pluma.

In some notes on plum culture pub
lished in a recent bulletin issued by
the Colorado Experiment Station, Pro-
fessor Charles S. Crandall says:
For the European plums such as
Lombard, Green Gage, and Bradshaw
probably no stock is better than
seedlings of some variety of
the species from which these va
rletles came-Prunus domestica.
these have been in common use
for many years, but in recent years
have been in some degree superseded
by Myrobalan stocks (seedlings of
Prunus cerasifera, species of Euro
pean orgin). Myrobalan stocks are in
common use in European countries
a1d have rapidly grown in favor with
our nurserymen, not because better
trees can be grown upon them, but
because it is easier to secure good N.Y.
robalan than good domestica
stocks. Seeds of domestica vari-
eties that will produce an even
stand of stocks is difficult to
obtain, and the Myrobalan, which is
easier to grow and less liable to in
jury from parasitic fungi, offers an &C.
ceptable substitute. Some nurserymen
import the seeds and grow their own
stocks, others find it more profitable to
import the seedlings. They are usual
ly received during the winter, planted
In nursery rows in spring, and budded
in July and August. In the south the
stocks in common use are the Mari
anna plum and peach, and very diverse
opinions as to their relative merits
have been expressed. Probably the dif-
ferences arise from varying local con-
dltions, for the testimony at hand in
dicates that on the light and dry soils
the peach stock does best, while the
Myrobalan is better suited to the
heavier and more moist soils. Even at
the north the peach meets with some
favor as stock for plums on light
soils, but it is too tender for districts
where severe winters are common. For
the native varieties, Wolf, Weaver, De
Soto and other derivatives of Prunus
Americana, the natural inference that
Americana stocks would be best seems
to be borne out by experience, but the
degree Of success may depend in
measure upon the seed used. The spe-
cles is extremely variable in general
habit and rapidity of growth as well
as In the fruit produced. .:.

New Outlet for the Potato Cron.

New Outlet for the Potato Crop,
Miners who have passed the winter
IN the Klondike refer to a brand OF
eVaporated potatoes sent from Canada
which have proved very satisfactory as
substitute for fresh vegetables, says
the Rural New Yorker. We learned
that the Canadian company has vari-
GUS factories in this country and in
Canada. One factory is run at May
vile, Mich. It started last fall with
eVaporated apples, and then made
apple cider and apple jelly. When the
apple season was finished, they began
evaporating potatoes and kept at it
nearly all winter, through the very
coldest weather. The same company,
we are told, evaporated peaches in
Georgia earlier in the season. One of
our friends in Mayville gives us the
following Information about this busi-
ness:
"How are potatoes canned?"
"They are first washed and then put
in a large vat or steamer and steamed
just enough to loosen the skins. Then
they are taken out and peeled by
women and girls After this they are
cooked until thoroughly done, and
then run through a machine shaped
like a colander. They come through
this in long, white strings very much
resembling long worms or shredded
cocoanut. After this they are evapo-
rated and put up in tin cans and
sealed air-tight."
about how many potatoes were
canned during the season."
Last years run was about 5000
bushels"
docs this make any difference in
the potato market for the neighboring
farmers?''
Eyes, I think it does, although the
farmers have no trouble in selling all
the potatoes they grow, to the ship
pers. The canning factory helps to
raise the price. Last winter, when the
factory first started, the shippers were
paying only 20 to % cents a bushel for
potatoes. The factory's first contract
was for 5000 bushels at rs cents. Of
course the Gamers want the highest
quality of potatoes. It is understood
here that the factory had contract
with the United States government for
all the potatoes that were canned last
winter.'
