Of "Florodora." The refrain Of the

Miss Billie Burke, who is winning
praise as leading woman with John
Drew in "My Wife," has captured au-
diences on both sides Of the ocean by
her beauty and cleverness rather than
by any extraordinary qualities in her
acting. She Is what the British call
fetching" and has such charming,
unaffected, almost childlike manner on
the stage that her auditors often forget
to inquire Of themselves whether they
like her acting or not. She Is some
times spoken of as an English actress
but she was born in Washington and is

former vaudeville team of Burke and

things have been cleared up, but the
outlook for future development is
broad, and seems to call for unlimited
work. There are many diseases, the
cause for which we do not yet know
lmmunizatiOn against the attack Of
organisms, so we'll developed for ami
mails, is an unwOrked field as regards
plants The development Of disease
resistant varieties by selection has just
begun.
To sum up, history shows a long
period Of two hundred years from the
invention of the microscope until the
nature Of bacteria and fungi dawned
upon the scientist. Then came period
Of about thirty years of more rapid dis
covery and the establishment Of princi-
Dles, led by Pasteur for bacteria, ana
De Barry for fungi; this was followed
by the recent period Of the application
Of these principles in the actual treat
ment Of disease, together with a critical
laboratory study Of the organisms caus-
ing them. With this foundation on
which to build, the present patholog1st
ought in the coming years to accom-
Dlish much towards alleviating the
troubles Of poor, suffering vegetation,
and at the same time help to fill the
cavernous void existing in so many
pOcketbOOks.

liquid fungicides were first applied with
broom made Of straw or a whisk made
of heath Later they were applied by
means Of sprinkling cans. Ordinary
pumps then in common use were tried.
but these proved to be unsatisfactory,
as they were not adapted to the work.
The knapsack sprayer came into use
about 1890, and soon after, number
Of spraying machines were perfected
and rapidly came into general use by
large growers The powder sprays
were put on in various ways; by scat
tering with the fingers; by tying bag
to the end of a stick and shaking this
up and down over the plants; by using
tin cans with nail-ho1es punched in the
lotion; and later by powder guns,
that worked by means Of bellows Or
a crank Powder sprays, while they
have been Of value against insects, have
not been as effective for combating fun
gus disease as the liquid sprays.
Literature.-To indicate the interest
that sprung up in this line Of work,
there are, according to Galloway, over
two thousand articles on plant diseases
by the Experiment Stations alone, in
IIle IWGlNC years between 1000 ana I0OO.
Information that up to that time had
been known only to a few, now became
the common knowledge Of the masses
OF the people, largely through the medi-
TIN Of the experiment stations, aided by
agricultural papers. Many Of the peo-
pie did not know, and do not now
know, that much Of the knowledge in
these matters came to them directly or
indirectly through the Stations, but the
leaven has worked nevertheless.
Investigators.-It would take too
long even to name over all the promi-
nent workers in the field in this short
period Of nineteen years, since 1888. A
few of the most prominent men, who
were leaders in the period, are Profess
sor Bessey, Of Nebraska; Halstead, O
New Jersey; Burril1, Of Illinois;
Trelease, of Missouri; Peck, of New
York; Pamme1, of Iowa; Galloway, now
Chief of the Department of Plant In
dustry. Washington, D. c.. and Erwin
F. Smith, Plant Patho1ogist in the
same department, whose recent publ
cation on 'Bacteria in Relation to
Plant Disease is invaluable to the
worker in Plant Pathology.
The Outlook-Investigation in liant
pathology is in its infancy. Many

certain species of fungus played the

certain species of fungus played the
parts of DR.. Jekyl and Mr.. Hyde, and
what before had been considered two
or three totally different species on
different host plants, were fOund to
be two or more stages Of the same
fungus. This was first worked out for
the wheat rust Farmers had noticed
tor many years that the wheat rust was
much worse in the vicinity Of barberry
hedges than where these were absent.
Before any reason was known for this
phenomenon, laws were passed forbid
ding the planting Of barberry hedges.
1t remained for the 'man with the
microscope" to demonstrate that the
fungus causing the wheat rust had one
stage on the barberry. and two totally
different stages on the wheat plant.
This now led to a more intelligent un-
derstanding as basis for further treat
ment. Life histories Of many other
fungi as strange as this one, have since
been worked out. There are no doubt
MStill many DR.. Jekyls, among the
known disease-producing fungi, the dis
covery of whose Mr.. Hyde will make
more easy the effective treatment OF
the disease which they produce.
Early Mycologists-In England one
of the pioneers in the systematic study
of fungi was Rev. NJ. J. Berkeley. He
is said to have described over six thou
sand species of fungi. About 1850 he
became much interested in plant path
ology and was probably the first to
recognize the Importance of thorough
knowledge of plant physiology as
basis for successful treatment Of plant
diseases. Another early worker was
DR.. George Engelman, of St. Louis,
Missouri, who as early as 1861 publish
ed pamphlet on the diseases Of
grapes, and later one on the diseases
of the oak. In 1873, Prof. T. J. Burrill,
Of the University of Illinois, began
series of papers on plant pathology, and
about the same time DR.. w. G. Farlow,
Of Harvard, began series of papers
on Diseases of Plants
Period Following 1880.
1t was not until the last period
spoken of-that following I88o-that
anything like a systematic study and
treatment of plant diseases was taken
up. Up to this time only two or three
states had founded Experiment Sta
states had founded experiment sta
tons, and these had not taken up any
systematic work on plant diseases.
The Florida agriculturist., 1908-02-01

This line Of plant investigation had its
first recognition in New York state
i'll 1884, when J. c. Arthur was ap-
pointed Botanist Of the Experiment
Station. He at once took up work in
plant diseases, and aroused consider
able interest by showing that practical
results could be obtained by making
use Of critical study in the laboratory.
Arthur substantiated beyond doubt
the findings of Professor Burrill, who
was the first to show, in his work on
pear blight, the relation Of bacteria to
plant disease The next year, 1885, the
Section Of Mycology under the y. S
Department of Agriculture at Wash
ington, was established, with Professor
Scribner in charge. About this time
the work instituted by B. 7. Galloway,
Chief of the Bureau Of Plant Industry,
did much to bring this subject to the
attention of the country
Experiment Stations Organized
the spring of 1893 most of the State
Experiment Stations were organized.
Botanists and Plant Pathologsts were
appointed in a number Of these Sta
tons Those who expected an imme-
diate panacea for all plant diseases
were OF course disappointed, and we're
soon ready to oppose the expenditure
of money for such work. There are a
few such men today, but they are
among those who having heard Of some
of the mistakes, are yet ignorant OF
the work as a whole, and Of the results
in black and white that the Experiment
Stations are able to show. During the
first ten years Of the life of the Stations,
spraying as a means Of controlling
fungus and insect-pests received tre-
mendous impulse. There sprang up
all over the country great demand for
accurate information in regard to
practical methods of spraying.
Spraying.-Sulphur had been used as
a spray in combating grape mildeW
some years previous to this, in Europe
and California. Various powders were
tried, but none proved Of much value.
By a mere accident, a solution was
discovered that was to prove one Of the
most effective fung1c1des yet known.
This was Bordeaux mixture.
The Discovery of Bordeaux Mixture,
is interestingly told by Loderman* in
his book on Spraying Plants.
