Wheat for the South. l For a number of years the Agiicultural Department has been investigating t e grain rusts, which cause so much less nud are so very widely distributed. Experiments have been made with a view to prevention aud to determining what varieties most resist the disease and also whether varieties not resistant in some localities may not be resistant in others. These investigations have been conducted in nearly every State in the Union with the result that much valuable information has been obtained. KUST IN SOUTH Ell X WHKVT. The department finds that the stem rusts are more prevalent in the West, aud the leaf and crown rusts in the East and South. It recommends the followiug varieties to Western growers : Turkey, Menuondite, Odessa, Rietl, Pringles No 5, and Priugle's Detiance, and for early spring sowing I lay no's Blue Stem and Saskatchewan Fife. The following resist leaf |ruat: Thfciss, Fulcaster, Oregon Club, Deitz Lougbeny, Sonora, Diem, Mediterranean, Arnolus Hybrid and Calif Spring. Durum and Poulard wheats, used mostly for maccaroni, are also very resistant. Elkorn, used for feed, seems abjolutel? resistaut. Nearlv any variety may rust if sown too late. There are six different species of rests and the damage they do every year exceeds, in the department's opinion, that of any other pest, and in somo localities those of all other pests combined. In the Carolinas wheat is quite commonly injured by rust, but it is not grown extensively in those States. The orango leaf rust seems to be the prevailing species, though as yet it is uncertain whether it is the only one present in cases of severe injury. One peculiar fact of interest is that early wheat, such as early May, is also more injured than late varieties, which is just the reverse of the rule. A probable reason for this is that early wheat is sometimes weakened by frosts or freezes and is thus rendered more liable to rust. In the Atlantic coa?t States the wild blackberry rust is extremely abundant, especially in the edges of olearings near fields of wheat?a fact which has given rise to the erroneous opinion that this rust has someoctogenetic connection with the cereal lusts. Very little wheat is raised in Georgi ), but usually what is grown is badly iujured by rust. Leaf rust is ths species most prevalent, but frequently the grain is not severely injured until the 6tem rust appears. In Georgia and in all the Gulf States oats is seldom injured by rust. Tho variety of oats most commonly grown is the Texas rust proof. Hot Stuff. A well known Mississippi farmer will have cause to remember his recent visit to Memphis, says the Sci IT- .1 - 11 i liiitm lie siuppea 111 a wen Known cafe and among other things ordered a sirloin steak. A bottle of tobasco sauce was on the table, and mistaking it for catsup he spread it <juitc lavishly on the steak and settled down to enjoy the meal. lie cut off a big piece, but no sooner had ic struck bis mouth than he began to feel like his tongue was on fire. lie twisied and turned, and soon had the eyes of everyone in the dining hall fastened on him. The more he twisted and screwed his face the hotter the steak in his mouth got. lie didn't know what was the ma'.ter. lie could stand it no longer, and reaching up his hand he jerked out the burning bito, threw it on the tloor, and in a very dramatic way, exclaimed: "Now, d?n you, blaze!" ?
