pecially corn for ensilage. peppermint,

not always suited to growing the small
grains. They will produce large yields
of sugar beets, but usually while the

low and the impurity content high.

An application of 100 TO $50 pounds of
muriate of potash or sulphate of pot
ash gives most excellent results. An
application of ten tons of barnyard ma
nure per acre is wonderfully efficient
in rendering these soils productive.
It is frequently said that the fail
ure of these soils to produce n crop
is Que TO an acid condition. For this
so-called acid condition Of soils lime
is usually recommended. Il has been
found, however, that an application of

than helpful. 1t is reported that in
one region muck soils are benefited by
the application of phosphoric acid. 1t

MUCK SOILS
BY PROFESSOR J. A. JEFFERY,
Professor of Soils
Michigan Agricultural College


Considerable areas of so-called muck
land are found throughout the drift
region. Because of the fact that these
lands are lowlying and are frequently
difficult to drain, and because, also. in
most cases they behave differently from
upland soils both in the crops they
will produce and in the freedom with
which they will produce, owners of
such lands are frequently uncertain OF
their management.
First of all muck soils should be
thoroughly drained; and until they are
drained 1t is practically impossible to
grow the common crops upon them.
Frequently the fall is 50 slight that
the work OF tile draining must be done
with great care in order to insure
system that will work. II sometimes
happens, also, that these areas lie be-
tween surrounding higher areas through
which it is practically impossible to
procure an outlet for a drainage sys-
tenn. In such cases It Is frequently
true that the underlying subsoil is
clay which in turn is underlaid by
gravel or gravelly sand, the water ia
BILE In which lies at considerable dis
lance below the clay subsoil. In such
case a well three feet in diameter may
be dug down through the muck clay
subsoil into the underlying gravel.
This well should be filled with field
stones 10 within two feet of the sur
face: above the stones should be
placed a layer of finer material and
above this should be filled in true soil
TO the level of the surface. This well
may then be used as an outlet for one
or more draln systems. taking the wa
ter from the muck areas.
When draiped those soils are ready 10

Two illustrations accompany this
article. They show the same disease
on different plants. one on wild plum
and the other on the cultivated plum.
The disease is the same, the cause
the same, the control is the same, but
both are shown to emphasize the fact
that the plum and cherry orchard is
in grave danger if wild plums and
cherries which are diseased are near
by.
A fungus is n plant which makes no
food supply for itself, but takes its
food from living and dead material.
If the plant takes its food from other
living plants, it is called a parasite.
These parasites grow upon and with
in the tissues of the other plants,
sapping their vitality and producing
grave disturbances In the life of the
host plant. These parasites do not
consist OF leaves, stems and roots
as do the common plants as we know
them, but they consist of great num-
Der of thread-like cells which are SO
small that a microscope is necessary
TO make out their structure. Fungi
spread by means of small bodies
which are called spores. and while
these spores are not seeds. they serve
the same purposes-that is, distribu-
ton.

mass of minute greenish threads, and
these threads give the appearance of
velvet. Each thread cuts off from its
tip minute body called a spore,
which can carry the disease from one
plant to another. After the spore is
grows again and cut 0off more spores.
In June and July the diseased
branches begin to lose their green and
velyety appearance and soon show a
great number of small black pustules
or pimples. These can be seen very
clearly with the eye. and other de-
tails are brought out with a small
lens. Each of these pustules Is a
case in which more spores are borne
which are capable of spreading the
disease. There is this difference, how
ever. between the two forms Of fruit
ing bodies described. One seems to
serve in the summer time to spread
the disease while the other carried
the disease over winter.
To control this pest, one must rec
ognize the Importance Of the two
crops Of spores which have been de-
scribed. The crop which is produced
in the summer must be held in check
by sprays, probably the self-boiled
lime-sulphur that is used to prevent
shot hole and leaf spot will do this.
The other control measure and the
one which is most important Is the
doc frttO nf h.n
trees before the winter spores-that
is, those that are borne in those little
black pustules-Gre ripe and spread.
Studies made at the Michigan Agricul-
tural college this fall on black knot
indicate that these spores are ripe
by December and therefore the black
knot must be cut out Immediately and
in the following years; it should be
cut out in the early fail If the black
knots are cut out and burned 1t is evil
dent that the spores which carry the
fungus over winter are destroyed and
the progress of the disease win be
checked
1t is too often the case that the
farmer cuts out the black knot on his
own orchard and his neighbor neg
lects this necessary measure, and it
is often the case, as indicated in the
first paragraph, that the disease is
spread from wild plants in the vi
cinity. 1t is safe to say that there IL
not a community in Michigan but will
show several instances of this passage
of disease from the neglected lot OF
trees to healthy young ones.
Therefore. the farmer and fruit
grower must do more than destroy
the disease as it shows itself in the
orchard-they must get rid of the
breeding places.

anime specimens Of diseased plants

FAKE ADVERTISING A CRIME
Publisher Who Refuses to Print
Deceptive Matter.

In an address to the students Of the
Northwestern University School OF
Commerce A. p. Johnson, advertising
manager of the Chicago Record-Her-
aid, said:
THE greatest drawback In the de.
velopment OF modern-day advertising
comes from the same source that I'M
dermines all other professional and
commercial enterprises-the takers.
schemers and promoters of fraudulent
undertakings that depend upon adver-
Using to accomplish dishonest pur-
pose.
THE publisher OF any medium hav-
ing a general circulation, whose edi-
torial columns are read and accepted
in good faith by the public, whose
opinions on the political and economic
questions of the day are read and be-
lieyed. and who. at the same time, ac-
cepts and prints advertising which he
knows is fraudulent. deceptive and
misrepresenting. commits the great
est social and civil crime ever perpe-
trated on a civilized community.
Refusing fake advertising does
not pay in a direct increase Of legiti-
mate advertising, nor does 1t signify
that paper pursuing such a course
should expect any great material re-
ward, other than the satisfaction that
comes to any one who deals on the
square with his fellowmen,"
