1t was safe and took the risks.
The article continues: "They talk

went too far in a certain direction,
they would be likely to run across
an hombre called Adoy. a member Of
the notorious Cabal family, much fear

answered in the negative. He repeat
ed his warning, but they went despite

to Farmers.

Wooster, July 30.-Tomatoes are in
danger of meeting the same fate this
year as caused the failure several years
ago. A. d. Selby, the botanist at the
Ohio agricultural experiment station,
at Wooster has issued the following
bulletins: a.n
The Ohio experiment station
warns tomato growers to be on the
alert for tomato leaf-spot and to begin
early in their measures for its preyen-
ton. The prevailing wet weather is
favorable to this disease which may
again prove as destructive as in 1898
and 1900. Spraying the plants with
bordeaux mixture at intervals Of two
to three weeks promises very large
rd urns should such moist weather
continue.
Gardeners and truckers are also
warned to begin spraying for the
downy mildew of muskmelons and Gu
cumbers, should their plants promise
to yield after the middle of August.
Earlier spraying for this disease was
not required, but from the present
date forward. treatment should be
made at intervals OF TO 10 days if a
hte yield is anticipated"

experiment station the defoliation of
cherry trees by the leaf-spot fungus

about them he would not have gene
