LykcH, of Kichlaud county, who grown fine watermelons, tsout to tho agricultural department Homo vines that had died without apparent cause. A section of his melon Hold witft nttt&ked uiul its di struct iou threat ened. Tho following reply from* l'atliologiBt Smith will l>o of interest t o all melon-growers, at) well asi>thor 'armors: A . U. B? Department of Agriculture,. Dillon of Vegetable Physiology ami . Pathology, Washington, 1>. O., May 27, 18'JO. Mr. W. Lykos, T,ykci?)and, H. O.J Doar Hir: Your letter of May 2f, togethor with tho paekago of diseased melon vines, reached thu department today and havo been referred to mo fot attoutiou. Your troublo in not duo l to any inscet enemies nor to tho ferti lizers whieiHkMftu applied, that is, not to them 'ns fertilizers, although in luTvertoully I think tlioy are probably ro.ij o isiblo for tho wide prevalence of tho disease. ytho wilt (if tho vines is duo to tho /fsrcHonoe of a fungus which is only too / well known to me. This fungus was /?L very abundant in tho plant you Bent, but well hidden out of sight. its method of attack is to enter tho plant under ground through the root i.ystum, v, from which it often extemls into all parts of tho stem, occupying tho long tubular cavities of the stem kuown botanically as water duets. The melon vines and similar plants, as you may know, are provided with an i laborate system of wator pipes for con veying water and nutrient substances from the soil to all parts of tho vines, "These begin as tiny tubes in tho small est roots and unite into bundles of larger tubes, traversing the larger roots nnYWhe? stem and main branch' s, and these bundles of tubes i;ivo otl' hero and there branches, which pass into tho leaves Mowers and fruit. Tho minuttht ramifications of these water ducts in tho leaves are common ?ly known as veins. As 1 have already intimated, these tubes nil for long dis t slice open passageways from one part of tho vino to tho other. Now tho oaitso of tho sudden wilt of tho vines in whole or in part is due to tho occupa tion and clogging of those water-con ducting tubes by tho little fungus, which Muds therein sullieient food for i to growth. I it tlio viues you pent tho water tubes of tho root h) stouts are tho only ouos which were boi ionsly clogged, but iu n i uch which are tnoru novo rely wilted it is customary to Hud the fundus also abundant in tho water duc.ls of tlio parts above ground. Tho rouBon for <iuo brunc h of tho vino often wilting before another in because tho fungus Iiiih poueti'iited into tho root system of thntnido of tho vino and clogged tho pipes in connection with that | art. Later on it grown through from one bundle of tubea to another, and in thin way a second hatch will become alVcct ed, ami so on until the w ho}p vino is wilted. Tho reason one vino iu a hill in sometimes taken and another left in due to Homo reason not jet known to in*, or because ono p ant is moro sus ceptible to tho disease than another, that is, the fungus gains cntranco to tho root system of ono plant souiodaya ? or weeks iiv<*dvance of its entr.iyeo in to tJ|0-?>fYfer. i have teen this disease iu a number of halations in the South, notably at Monet ta and Charleston, S. t'.-, and have received plenty of mater ial from Georgia and Texas. It is a widespread disease iu tho melon-grow ing regions of tho South. It is also a serious trouble and one with which it is exceedingly ditlicult to deal. i Ho far there is no kuown remedy, and owing to the fact that tlio disease attacks tho vines, as far as wo know, always from under ground, you will seo how dilMcult t Iu; problem of treat ment becomes. I havo this vivir under way in the South, expeiimonts iu tho way of soil fungicides, but >t is vet. too early to know whether there will bo any definite results therefrom. Tlio main clloits plainly should bo directed towards prevention. If I could known beforehand what' you w er ji going to do I think I could liVyo prevented your loss largely or entirely. This brings us bark again to tho question of sowing tart s. I havo been engaged in studying this disease for two years and have learned quite a good deal about the life history of the fungus. It is very rcr>i!-tcnt to drying and to various paisoiis, * 11 has, in my experience, retrined its vitality for a year in a dry condition in tho labors- J t< r/. It 10 also capllplc of growing quite vigorously on or in a vteat vari ety o~ dead HiilMtanc?s. I! 1 ves for a long time in the interior ot the dead | melyn steins, probably for at least si\ i months. It will also grow vigorously! ill dung hills. When a melon vine | containing this fungus is throyvu on I the iluug heap or in the refuse of the i stockyard, if tho conditions aro at all 1 favorable tho fungus begins to grow und Bend out its tiny threads, which multiply in the manure a million-fold. Thoro cau bo littlo doubt, 1 think, that tlio disease is often spread un wittingly by tho growers iu this man ner. Refuse from the melon fields, which tho good sense of the agricul turist tell him is tho best of fertilizers for his crop, becomes a medium for tho wido diffusion of the fungus, when Buch refuse, containing diseased plants, is made a part of the dung pile. In s0mo instances which havo come under my observation and which I traced out qtu'te carefully, thcro could bo but lit tle ddnbt that tho melon grower was reaponsiblo for almost complete do * td motion of <e tain melon fields by * making p*o of infcctcd manure. Kcally ho uHr\vittingIy mado what bacteriologists call sn * icimonse culture bed in ? hi* ? ba-r?y<w<b lu fhe sprjog this manure is hauled out on the fields and pnt under tho hfHC ?ad the toil thoroughly inoculated With the fang as.

There is comfort in the knowledge that so many forms of sickness are not duo to any actual dis ease, hut simply to a constipated eohdi tion of the systoin, which tlie pleasant family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt ly removes. That Is why it is tho only remedy with millions of families, and is everywhere esteemed so highly by all who valuo good health. Its beneficial effects aro auo to tho fact, that it is the ono reraody which promotes internal cleanliness, without debilitating tho organs on which it acta, ltis thorejoro all important, in order to get itw/benc fleial offccts, to noto when yofi pur chase, that you havo the genuine article, which is manufactured by tho California , Fig Syrup Co. only, and sold by all rep- ' utablo druggists.
