vestigate the causes of the degeneration
OF this useful plant, According to the
report Of this commission, the planters
have only themselves to blame; they
have given the soil no rest for years
past, nor practised any rotation of crops.
Confident Of the proverbial richness of
their soil, they have applied no fertiliz-
ers. The enfeebled plants have fallen
a prey to a disease known as Coespor-
ium masarum, which is gradually gain
ing a foothold in all plantations. The
report closes with the observation that
the disease Is successfully fought By a
proper application Of fertilizer to the soil.
