[From the Southern Cultivator.] The subject of rust in cotton has been a good deal discussed. The subject has generally been treated by two classes of writers from very diff erent standpoints. 1. The scientist, the college proffes- sor, who understands a great deal about science, and who may be correct as far as his experience goes, but who has had few opportunities of observa tion in the field. 2. The practical farmer who lias no ticed all the phenomena of rust, but who is unable to form conclusions from these observations. For years I have been observing rust in cotton, and the conclusion which I have reached, is that it is a general term for a variety of diseases, sometimes local in the leaf but gener ally in the plant itself, indirectly affecting tiie leaf, and is due to a variety of causes. Injury to the leaf from parasites, defective circulation from general or special poverty, bad and irregular seasons, defective drainage, and sometimes from some E oisonous element in the soil. I ave seen rust or decay from all of these causes, and lie who asserts that rust is a specific disease due to any one cause, is, in my opinion, very much in error. Wo have it upon the authority of a learned proflessor of the South Carolina University, that rust conies from animal parasites, and he has established this to his own satisfaction by actually propaga ting tiie disease. I am far from as serting that it never comes from this cause. I have myself seen it from the depredation of ordinary cotton lice, but that this cannot be the gen eral cause, is evident from the fact that the insect enemies of plants always select the most healthy, because the most succulent growth, Thu cotton worm is invariably found first upon the n ost vigorous and ten der plants If this was the true cause, rust would prevail generally when the crop was under tne most favorable conditions, and would exist witiiout regard to seasons or soils. Such is not the fact. Again, that distinguished farmer and agricultural writer, Dr. Lee, for whom I have the highest respect, tells us that rust is always the result of fungus growth. My observations do not sustain this. I nave never been able to detect any reddish de posit upon the diseased leaf as is the case with tiie grains, hence the name. Dr. Henry Ravenel.of Aiken, S. C., who was widely known as an eminent botanist, especially in this class of plants, cryptogams, once stated to me that he had been deeply interested in the subject of r^st in cotton, haying himself been for years a cotton plant er, and that he had never been able with the most powerful glass to dis cover any fungus growth. Now, if Dr Lee has detected this growth by the microscope, then there is here a conflict of high scientific authority. But has he or has he not accepted this theory from analogy with other plants Again, David Dickson, the great practical farmer, asserts that rtn-t is nothing but poverty; manure your land and you will remove the disease. Thqge iv>wwtwi^b^ that novertv of the son is the most general cause of d^cay or rust; every observant farme?" admit of some limitation. Injudici ous manuring of poor lands with a very soluble fertilizer sometimes pro duces the disease. This doubtless happens from the manure becoming exhausted or ceasing to act from want of moisture at the critical period when the plant, highly stimulated and loaded with fruit, is left in worse con dition than if no manure had been used. Such has been the fate many a promising crop. But this occasion al experience is no argument against the position that manure combined w : th humus is the best general reme dy for ruft, if not a specific, Again, we hear a great deal of late about kainit as a sovereign cure. There is no doubt that upon certain lands where potash has been exhaust ed or is absent, that the effect of kain it is admirable in sustaining the plants. I have seen remarkable il lustrations of this on my own farm. But neither general or special manur ing will prevent rust upon lands rad ically uusuited to cotton. There are certain sour lands, gum ponds, which will not make cotton even with the best manures, and there are other lands which rust so badly as to indicate# not simply the ahesence of fertility but the presence of some noxious element, probably iron, in some injurious form. A summary of what 1 have writ ten is that rust in cotton is rarely a disease of the leaf, but generally a de cay of the plant, and is due not to one but a number of unhealthy caus es. But it may be asked, why is it that cotton is more subject to this de cay than any other of our cultivated crops? I think we need not go far to find the true explanation. It is said that wheat is the most civilized of all our agricultural plants, but I doubt if cotton may not be regarded as more cilivized than even the great cereal, as it is further removed from its nat ural or savage state. Compare the cotton plant of the present day, with its hundreds of bolls and its crop of five bales to the acre, to the plant of our fathers’ Think of its artificial condition selected year after year to increase it- productiveness and fed with concentrated and artificial food to sustain ihe exhaustion. Like the high-bred animal, it needs the ten- deiest cure to support it in its strug gle for life in its artificial state. It is a matter of common observation that highly prolific types of cotton are more liable to decay or rust than inferior varieties. Neither man, animal nor plant can become highly developed or civilized’without a cor responding tendency to disease. Society Hill, S. C. E. E. Evans. The Savannah River Bridge. Augusta Evening X*-\vs. Our city bridge, under the manipu lation of the committee, will have costover $50,000 when it is completed, under the present estimates.
