-Four years together we've spent within

Working together as each duty calls.
Now ere we go perform this ancient rite,
Lets smoke this Pipe Of Peace with
hearts once more light

Smoke the pipe. the peace pipe
Carved with memories dear

Records which We leave;
Keep Them ever sacred

At noted table in one of the larger

Well. he replied, Il prefer to get
them at about fourteen years of age

What, then said l, becomes of the

curious thing happened. The boys of
whom he had been talking faded out

came into thought his own son. He

Leaf-spot Of tomatoes Is an outdoor
trouble. 1t may be successfully pre-
vented by about three thorough spray
ings with Bordeaux mixture.
Currant leaf-spot causes immature
dropping of the foliage; in some cases
the leaves drop even before the fruit
has ripened.
Bordeaux mixture is effective
against this disease, though late appli-
cations may render It necessary TO
wash the fruit. For this reason spray
ing should be done very early.
The progress made in plant disease

how well adapted that discovery was

The term disease" as applied to
plants means any change in that plant
toward reduced vigor from the ordi-
nary or average behavior. When a
plant shows any deviation from the
regular behavior of that plant in re-
spect TO appearance. growth. color Of
bark, foliage, fruitfulness, time Of
dropping leaves or length of life, in
short, when the plant fails to conform
established by extended observation
for the species and variety In ques-
ton, the plant Is said to be diseased"
The more usual symptoms of dis
ease are marked by evident differ
ences In the plant. The leaves be-
come spotted, curled or discolored, or
may even drop unevenly or be marked
by decayed spots. or the branches
may blight, wilt or die, In all such
cases We have a manifest loss of vigor
and profit.
While most Of these troubles or dis
eases are caused by parasitic insects
or parasitic fungi, some are caused by
variety of other agencies.
The manner of disease attack is ex-
tremely varied and the conditions set
up as result of disease are accord
ingly OF many different kinds. We
learn to recognize disease by the
symptoms shown in the plant; these
symptoms will at times be readily in
terpreted and on other occasions they
will prove misleading. Nothing is
palmer than the necessity for continu-
Gus observation OF growing plants If
one is to be in position to interpret
the symptoms Of disease.
When the leaves Of plant are at
tackled these show the direct effects;
the symptoms OF parasitic leaf dis
cases are usually localized injury re-
sulting in spotting and often in brown
ing Of the leaf parts.
Leaf-spot symptoms are everywhere
abundant and are really Of very d.
verse origin. In any example in which
the leaf tissues are locally invaded by
a parasitic fungus we may expect evil
dent effects. In the downy mildew
troubles there may be wet-rot symp-
toms when the weather Is moist, as in
the case of late blight attacking po-
tato or tomato leaves; after the leaves
have become badly diseased they may
appear to die very suddenly because
