man reads it seven or eight times and
then goes around and steels- applo

kindhearted man goes home and
reads it to his wife, then he pays up
his dues to the paper. The business

that there Is strong probability of

infected this year, and for the further
reason that the rust fungus has
shown itself to be a very strong
plant disease, that will stay with us
as long as the climatic conditions are
favorable to its growth and about
the only remedy is to deyelope rust
proof varieties. This means that if
we have another season like the past
we may look for rust. If it is dry
and favorable to an early plant
growth then we will not have rust. Ex
