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.

In a pros porous farming oommunly ho no

carpentry, as did Joseph in the IJible days.
But at last a break cane l hat threatened to
forevot' wreck his health au I hapnln ai and
end his days of usefulness and activity.
Ia conversation with a uewspaper man,
Mr. Henderson told hi* story as follows:
"I had spent two years In Minnesota and
tho same length of time jr. O.egon, bu t the

and ray ln?'omo was derived from repairing

wanted It repaired at otjoe so To^?tho
not bo delayed In his haying. To fix the
wagon I had to have ft long, heavy plank,
and tho noa refit I could And was a mile uud
H Many 'a man would shrink from nhoulder
intr a heavy plank on a hot afternoon and
walking a inllo and a half, but Mr. Hender
son B'lid: "I didn't think much ?
I had always been strong and so I """led
tho Plank into tho ftebt and mendo t the
wagon. Doforo the afternoon was over I
found that I had done ttroug, that I had
huit my back and had to lie down, wh lo
sharp pains darted through tny back, head
^Hmt'was Ihe beginning of my trouble^

To-day Sir. ilende.rson is a well man,
strong, erect, broad-shouldered aud with a
ruddy complexion, notwithstanding his
sixty-eight years of a*e. He worked stead

feel warm, and what is unusual in a person
of my age, my nails are soft and grow liko

Pink I'ills were truly n llol-sond to Mr.

tho fact nnd wants his friends to know how
Wonderfully they have benefited blm. Ho

rightly directed. 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

which is manufactured by tho California ,
Fig Syrup Co. only, and sold by all rep- '

If in tho enjoyraontof good health,
and tho system is regular, then laxa

If afllictod with any actual disease, ono
may ho commoudoa to tho most skillful
physicians, but if in need of a laxative ^
then ono should havo tho best, and with

Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction.
