crop OF tomatoes, etc.
The east end Of the building is divided
into Two rooms, each lUx24 tect one warm
and the other cool, to be gwen up especially
TO the study of plant diseases by Proi. l..
Il. Jones, who will make Ok eriments upon
lettuce, beans, oats and potatoes. An in
tcresting suries of tests Is bong con
Quoted upon beans affected with rust.
1t has been found that the dis
ease comes from the planting of diseased
seed and II is hoped that way may be dis
covered by soaking the seed beans to disin
feet them and thus ensure clean crop
Experiments thus far indicate that thi:
may be done by soaking IN
copper solution and possibly by
simply soaking in hot wator This idea Is
suggested by the fact that soaking OF seec
oats in hot water destroys all germs o.
smut. which was shown by experiments il
the oatlields OF the Experiment farm las
summer. Some further Investigations are
being carried on in the green house along th'
same line upon oats and barley. Prof
Jones will also continue bis work IN testing
the possibilities Of practically destroying thu
germs of potalo-blight in seed potatoes
The results of all these tests VIII be awaited
with interest by the farming public.
