sc from which we make the following extract in regard to the black rot which of late years has been very destructive to the grape crop in parts of this and adjoin ing counties those who cultivate the vine should preserve this article for future reference or else treasure up the important facts for use hereafter this work contains other valuable a/ticles which may be given hereafter the black-rot — distribution varie ties attacked etc two hundred and twenty-nine per sons reported the presence of black-rot the territory over which phoma uri cola is reported includes the chief vine growing regions of the united states and coincides with the mildew district save that no rot is reported west of the rocky mountains except doubtfully in one instance and but very little north of latitude 43deg in some dis tricts this fungus has been under obser vation for more than twenty years and in many during the last decade it has done serious and increasing injury it usually attracts attention about the time the grapes are beginning to color or a little earlier and in very # warm wet seasons may within a week or ten days destroy the whole product of a vineyard as in the case of peronos pora viticola its growth is said to be greatly favored by warm and wet weather and entirely stopped by a pro tracted drought tin 1 concord ca tawba isabella hartford prolific and rogers-hybrid varieties seem most subject to this rot and the delaware and other light colored or white varie ties least but no variety is entirely free from its attacks unless it be the scuppernong which is said to be harmed by nothing many persons report all varieties equally subject often those reported iron-clad and rot-proof in one locality are said to be very badly affected in some other statements of correspondents as to prevalence and destructiyeness judging from the reports received the loss occasioned by this rot is far more serious than that attributable to the mildews many report the loss of nearly their entire grape crop for a series of years and state they have dug iij their vineyards or will soon do so il a remedy cannot be found the following are characteristic quotations from letters received from badlv-striel en localities renders the cultivation of ijabrusca and sesticalis varieties unprofitable g w davis jacksonville ma all hybrids are much subject to its attacks and almost worthless in

upon the above-mentioned special reports 384 and on other available and trustworthy information the annual loss from grape-rot during the last ten years in the principal vine-growing regions of the united states ims not been less than one-fourth of the entire crop remedies many remedies have been proposed for grape-rot luit none appears to be effective perhaps no substance will ever be discovered which can be depended upon todestroy the growing phoma and arrest the rot without at the same time injuring the vines themselves preventives by way of prevention which u real ly more important than cure two methods seem worthy of extended trial these are 1 prompt removal mi<l burning of till diseased grapes 2 protection of tin grape clusters from rain and dew the first method has been tried with uniform success in michigan new jersey south carolina tennessee mississippi and other states this method is based upon sound principles the grape-rot is an infectious disease propogated by diseased berries every irotton berry is or may become a center | of infection consequently the chances that the rot will spread decrease in proportion to the thoroughness with which this infectious material is remov ed and destroyed the berries should be ! picked off every day until the rot disap ', pears and should in all cases be burn ed or buried where this treatment has been systematically followed for even a single year great benefit has been experienced the year following i'o be most effectual the picking should be practiced every year from the time the rot begins until it ceases and should be so thorough that no diseased i grapes are left either upon the vines or ; on the ground the labor of removal ! at first onerous will become less nnd j less each year to render the work most effective there should be concerted action among all the grapff-growers of a district the second method the protection of the fruit from moisture is based on the well-known fact that the spores of phoma will not germinate if kept ! dry and on the oft-recorded observation that the rot almost entirely disappears in times of drought in many parts of southern michigan the summer and i autumn of 1880 were characterized by a protracted drought not a drop of rain falling for six or eight weeks during this dry weather the rot disap peared almost entirely i made several examinations in september in three different counties but failed to find a trace of rot even in vineyards where it was very prevalent in 1885 there are two ways of keeping the grapes i dry a by covering the individual clus i tera with paper bags b by roofing the trellises with wide boards or with cotton cloth hugging is almost uniformly suc cessful if done carefully and early in the growing season /. e soon alter the grapes have set and before the spores of the phoma have lodged thereon mr j c hodges of morristown tenn writes for twelve years my experience has seemed to demonstrate that dampness \ on the surface of the fruit and rapid | growth of foliage are the causes of the disease shelter of any kind over the j vine prevents it every time small i paper sacks over the bunches save , ! them perfectly the remedy i have i used most with almost uniform success is leaf pruning i allow the canes to grow full length but in june 1 cut j away the older leaves and suckers from near the fruit so as to allow free cir i dilation of air and so that the sun ! may shine on the fruit except on rich land or when there is a long con tinued cloudy spell this saves the fruit nothing but shelter or sacking the bunches will save it on rich land i have never seen disease of any kind attack fruit or vine when the vine is trained along the wall or under the eaves of a building i have seen a shelter 2 feet wide made over the trellis prove a complete protection against rot while on the same vine where it bare fruit not under the shelter not a grape matured respecting the roofing of trellises col alexander y pearson of vine land n j who has had large experi ence also says " it gives almost com i plete protection if practicable both methods may be combined with many viticulturists ii may be an open question whether the profits of grape-raising will warrant the cost attending the application of these preventive measures it is hoped however that they will be given care ful rial and that grape rowers will report results to this section per ckn't of crop anxually destroy ed by rot am mildew in some instances observers have not clearly distinguished the loss due to the mildews from that due to the rot the fact that they generally occur together renders this the more difficult in a good many localities in the years when the mildew prevails tie loss i chiefly from the rot : but the rot also appears to prevail where peronospora cuicola is unknown or infreq icnt for the united state east of the rocky mountains the entire loss from mildews and black-rot cannot on an average be much less than 40 percent annually this is lower than mr pearson's estimate and lower than 1 would be warranted in placing it if i based mv judgment exclusively upon the reports received relics of the cluverius han^inj a peice of the silk rope that w.is j u-ed in the execution of cluverius at j : richmond on the 14th inst and a i ticket of admission to the richmond ! jail were to be seen in the cigar case : at the central hotel yesterday mr j conrad lipsconib found these relics of | the celebrated tragedy in the possession of mr m p courtney of richmond who was in the city yesterday and the idea of placing them in the show case occurred as one likely to be of interest ' to the curious and it was done at a j glance the little bundle of bright color ed silk would be taken for samples of j yarn for fancy work the section of rope from which it was taken was ! about six inches in length and the silk has no appearance of ever having | been twisted into a hangman's rope j four colors are

jan 14 1887 james c smith it has been stated that the silk rope was made as a compliment to the prisoner but such is not the case the rope was made by e j brown of richmond an old rope maker who \ evidently intended to turn to good ac ■count the bright but fatal product the silk consumed in the manufacture cost 45 and an agreement was made that after the rope had been used it was to be returned to mr brown this was done and he at once cut quite a number of short pieces from it and ' was disposing of them at a lively rate when the city sergeant stepped iu on , the speculator and stopped further proceedings by taking the rope and i paying brown for it this was done ' because the sale of it as proposed was j very distasteful to a large number of i richmond's citizens — charlotte vhron

sc from which we make the following extract in regard to the black rot which of late years has been very destructive to the grape crop in parts of this and adjoin ing counties those who cultivate the vine should preserve this article for future reference or else treasure up the important facts for use hereafter this work contains other valuable a/ticles which may be given hereafter the black-rot — distribution varie ties attacked etc two hundred and twenty-nine per sons reported the presence of black-rot the territory over which phoma uri cola is reported includes the chief vine growing regions of the united states and coincides with the mildew district save that no rot is reported west of the rocky mountains except doubtfully in one instance and but very little north of latitude 43deg in some dis tricts this fungus has been under obser vation for more than twenty years and in many during the last decade it has done serious and increasing injury it usually attracts attention about the time the grapes are beginning to color or a little earlier and in very # warm wet seasons may within a week or ten days destroy the whole product of a vineyard as in the case of peronos pora viticola its growth is said to be greatly favored by warm and wet weather and entirely stopped by a pro tracted drought tin 1 concord ca tawba isabella hartford prolific and rogers-hybrid varieties seem most subject to this rot and the delaware and other light colored or white varie ties least but no variety is entirely free from its attacks unless it be the scuppernong which is said to be harmed by nothing many persons report all varieties equally subject often those reported iron-clad and rot-proof in one locality are said to be very badly affected in some other statements of correspondents as to prevalence and destructiyeness judging from the reports received the loss occasioned by this rot is far more serious than that attributable to the mildews many report the loss of nearly their entire grape crop for a series of years and state they have dug iij their vineyards or will soon do so il a remedy cannot be found the following are characteristic quotations from letters received

united states ims not been less than one-fourth of the entire crop remedies many remedies have been proposed for grape-rot luit none appears to be effective perhaps no substance will ever be discovered which can be depended upon todestroy the growing phoma and arrest the rot without at the same time injuring the vines themselves preventives by way of prevention which u real ly more important than cure two methods seem worthy of extended trial these are 1 prompt removal mi |
