Rust in grain is reported from Quamichan, Nanaimo, Steveston, and no doubt common 



in other sections, especially -where grain is sown late, and consequently late in ripening. 



The cultivation of vigorous, early ripening varieties of grain is recommended 



Rust. as the best method of dealing with rust, combined with proper drainage of 



the soil, and rotation of crops — matters too often neglected by farmers. 



Mildew on peas is reported from Nicola, and common on late crops of 

 Mildew on Peas, garden peas in the lower country. The method advised for rust in grain 

 will apply here.
