In tins oomprehensive gronp we find plants prodocirg rust, smut, mildew, ergot, blight, potato rot and count* leM other' diseaMB. that affest tiie hiaher forme at plant life. In the ease of fiie so- callod mat we find that a apore, which servea the purpose of a seed in higher plants, re- aches the leaves or stalks of the plant at tacked. If eonditions are favorable it germinates and soon finds its way into tbes plant affected, and gives rise to a mass Of threadlike stiuotuies (mjrceKttm) which per^ meato the heet plant and feed upon ite- juices, hot long after this vegetative con* dition has been attained, spores are prodobej in myriads on the threads of which itis com- posed. So nimerous do tfaey become, that they burst in thin covering of the leaf or stalk and show a rust colored rupture. If the powder-like substance thus exposed be ex- amined nnder a microscope, say 200 diam- eters, it will reveal that what appears to be dust is really a mass of tegolary formed seed-like bodies, consistinf^ el one cell, oval in shape and reddish in color. Now these spores (undo), finding their way to wheat plants, soon germinate, and again myriadg of spores are produced, so that in a yery short time, if conditions are favorable â€" damp, close, sultry weatherâ€" a whole field will be affected. The rapidity of growth in these lower foi-ms of plant life is almost in- credible, but the facts are too flagrant to doubt it. The mst plant does not stop here. A little later in the season, on the same threadlike structure [myeehum), another form of spore is produced but these are unsually more common on the- lower part of the stalk, and ai'e destined to carry the trouble into another season. The former are frequently spoken of as 'summer spores,' the latter is "winter spores." These last formed spores {teletUo) are two-celled, pear- shaped and black. Affected plants are then said to be attacked with "miidew" and suffer severely from the effects of this par- asite, just at a time when the plant has re- ached a stage to mature a seed. These black spores proceed no further that season and will not again give rise to mildew or wheat or another plant has served as nurse for a while. In spring the dark spores germinate and give rise to another form of simple spores (iporidia) formed at tiie ends of threads growing from each cell of the black spores. These (sporulta) as yet have not been discovered to germinate upon wheat; but when they reach the leaves of the Bar- berry shmb they germinate, enter the leaf and soon give rise on thennderside to masses of cup-like structures, in whieh are produced innumerable round golden colored spores (osctdttim), which will produce a v^etable growth only when they germinate on the wheat or some other closely allied plant. Then they give rise to the condition referred to as "rust" Snob is the life history of this cosunon foe, and to the reader must appear • very complicated one indeed there being no less than four kinds of spores producedâ€" vrado. teleuto, sportdta and aidium.
