M, RUST IN WHEAT' Mr. Editor t While discussing the sub ject of " wheat rust," a few day's since, with a farmer, I advanced the statement that I believed it to be a fimgus, or micro scopic plant, growing upon, and deriving its nourishment from the wheat stalk. In order to test the correctness of my opinion, I procured several stalks, and brought them to town, for the purpose of examining them microscopically. A glass, with a power of 20,000 araes, or about 160 diameters, showed Very clearly that it Was a vegetable growth ; in fact, as much a plant as the wheat upon which it grows. In appearance, it very tnuch resembles rows of Has seed : each e. II being connected to another by a very slen der filament, scarcely discernible. The col oring matter, which is of a yellowish brown color, and which gives the name to the par asite, is contained in the center of the cells, the margins being transparent. I write these few observations, not that they are new, or have not been made before ; but more, because many of our farmers are not acquainted with the exact nature of "rutt," though they are perfectly familiar with its practical bearings on a wheat crop. The fungus not only attaches itself to the out aide of the stalk or blade, but penetrates the outer, or cortical part, thus, not only absorbing the nutriment of the plant for its own use, but also interferring with the cir culation necessary for the proper growth of the plant. I think it probable, that in both these ways it exerts its deleterious influence. I will take pleasure in showing it, at my office, to any ot our farmers, who may de sire to examine it, and who will brine a specimen with them. Yours respectfully. F. Cacthorn. Jorvallis, July 29, 1879. A. O. U. W. On Monday evening W. S. White, D. G. M.
