A* to conditions which affect blightIn the strawberry, the Kentucky statecollege of agriculture, by the directorof experiment* In the published bulle-tin, goes into the subject in its minutla,of which the following Is a synopsis: Young plants are not liable to blightuntil their leaves are nearly grown,and new beds, commonly, show bntfew of the spots until toward fall. Anexception to this rule was noticed thisyear Which Is worth recording. Somerows of young plants were put outalongside old, badly blighted ones. Inthe fore part of August it was observedthat the young plants next the oldones were becoming badly spotted, thefirst row- being especially affected,while the plants farthest away were. but little Injured The explanation ofthis difference is to be found In thefact that the blight fungus is pro-pagated during the summer by meansof microscopic spores, which of course,fell in greatest numbers upon theyoung plans, nearest- the .,.., ..in-fested ones. The lesson to be drawnfrom the fact is too plain to need point-ing out. If it were possible, indeed, toisolate beds ot young plants so as toprevent the access to the leaves of allspores, plants might be kept free fromblight indefinitely. All through the summer the blight ispropagated by these long fall the threads which havebeen mentioned as forming the grow-ing part of the parasite within the sub-stance ot the strawberry leaf, formsolid, tissue-like masses in the deadpart of spots, and finally these appearat the surface as small black dots. Thefunction of these little nodules appearsto be to preserve the parasite condi-tions of weather unfavorable to activegrowth and multiplication. The
