ish, while in average weather both do
the best they can to gather the crop
ahead of the farmer. Many plant dis
eases and insects can be controlled by
the various poisons, sprays, and cul
tural methods already discovered, but
for some-as, for example, the rust Of
wheat, peach yellows, clover-seed fly,
satisfactory remedies have not
yet been discovered.
Some instances may be cited to show
Just what is meant by resistant or i'm
mune varieties and their value. Grapes
furnish a striking example. Euro
pean grapes planted in this country
fail wherever the American grape-root
louise is present, because the louise is
able to attack and destroy the roots
OF these varieties. The roots of ma
tive American grapes are also attacked
by the same louise, but are so hard and
wiry that the louise can not destroy
them. In other words they are re
sistant.
The unusual resistance Of the Keif-
fer pear to blight has made 1t pos
sible to grow this pear in the South
ern States, where most other varie'
ties fail because of blight. The va
riety Of cowpea known as Little Iron
has proved so resistant to wilt disease
that in some fields it has survived
when all other varieties have been
killed. American gooseberries are but
little subject to the mildew which Sc
r.ously affects the larger English va
rieties when grown here. With nearly
every crop grown, some of its vari-
cites are more resistant or immune to
some disease or insect attack than
others.
Some varieties Of the same plant
ara hut little affected by a disease,
while others are badly injured. Va,
riations in this respect also extend
to individual plants of a given variety.
THESE facts have been utilized to
some extent in the origination OF the
various so-called "disease-proof" va
rIeties which have been introduced
into culture-as, for example, the
"rust.proof'' varieties Of wheat, oats
etc. AS a rule, however, these varie
ties have not been developed by any
systematic, scientific methods OF Sc
lection and breeding, and although
few show merit. most Of them have
NOT measured up TO the claims made
for them. They have, however, served

combination of Valencinnes and swiss

The farmers too greatest foes are
insects and plant diseases. lie can,
By a proper rotation Of crops and
fertilization, convert poor into a rich
coil, and he can stimulate plant growth
by plenty OF fertilization. By the
same process he can keep down the
weeds which rob his crops Of nourish-
ment and moisture. He can, to a great
extent, overcome, with but little
trouble, all the various smaller him
ORANGES to crop growlng-all but the
bugs and the blight. These twain are
hard 10 handle. None Is so arrogant
as 70 profess Indifferent to their at
tacks. Not many years ago they we're
expected, not the less dreaded, espe.
cially the blights and the rots and the
mildews; they we're the natural vista
lions Of providence. There was no
use trying TO combat them. II they
came, they came. The farmer prayed
that they might not come that year.
Now, science has shown us that they
can, in most cases, be overcome. II
not overcome, they can be prevented.
YET the process is often fraught with
great trouble and expense to the
farmer.
Now suppose a man could develop
a strain of plants so hardy that
blights and rust would pass them by
In disgust and 80 bitter and unsavory
for a bug that the hymenopterd, the
coIeopterd and the other "toughs" oil
the insect trust would pass by and
prefer to eat oak and hickory leaves'
II would be a cinch for that man
would It not? He could sit In tbs
shade and hire myrmidons to do his
work, directing those close at hand
In person and those at a distance by
telephone. Such a condition may b
possible The man who gets in frs
would be the one to sit in the shade
and reap the advantage. Eventually
we would all get on to the scheme
and, unless the population Of the world
increased with accelerated rapidity
there would be an over-production o.
food products and prices would eventu
ally get back to their present level
so that we would all have to worl
again.
The Department of Agriculture ant
some Of the experiment stations havl
been working along this line Of Sc

Of at least giving the enterprisin
