White Clover. Observations along these lines are still going on. 



Suggestions. — So far as present observations go : 



i. The early crop of Red Clover is not likely to suffer injury 

 from the Rust. 



2. As the second crop is likely to suffer greatly if the midsum- 

 mer is cool, and as clover becomes a valuable fertilizer when 

 plowed in, the fields should be carefully watched in such seasons 

 and the crop might be plowed under to advantage. 



3. Burning the clover fields in the fall would probably have 

 some effect in checking the spread of the disease during the next 

 season ; but the application of fungicides seems impracticable.
