REMEDY FOR ONION MILDEW
Serious In Oregon Where Soil 10
Heavy and Where There HAS
Been Abundance Of Moisture.

CBy FLOYD d. BAILEY. Oregon Agri-
cultural College)
The onion mildew has been serious
in this state, especially during the
last year, in the regions where the
soil is heavy. on the beaver dam lands
and where there has been an abun-
dance of moisture.
1t shows as a purplish color on the
stalks. The trouble has been known
long in England, in Europe. and In
various parts OF the United States.
Bordeaux spray. $3.50 strength,
should be applied with sticker add
ed, as the leaves are waxy and the
spray will not stay on otherwise. A
sticker may be made of two pounds OF
resin, one pound of sal soda and one
gallon of water to each fifty gallons of
spray. The sticker should be boiled
separately in an iron kettle out of
doors until it is clear brown color.
It will take from one to two hours.

A young married woman athletically
inclined was very anxious to learn to
swim. So she bought bathing suit.
Joined the swimming class at a near
by Turkish bath, and plunged in. Ev-
cry Monday, Wednesday and Friday
for an hour in the afternoon she toiled
laboriously from one end to the other
Of the ninety-foot pool. On returning
home after each lesson she carefully
computed the distance she travelled
and jotted it down in her housekeep-
er's memorandum book. One night
with the help of her husband. she
started in to balance her housekeepA
ing accounts.
"Shall put swimming under pleas
ures or necessities?" she asked, unde-
cidedly.
The husband glanced at the figures
indicating the number Of nautical
miles his wife had covered.
"Why not put It down under trav.

hemp. The next year hemp grew well
enough, but the seeds of the parasite
left in the ground had apparently not
been affected by the salt, and produced
as many broom-rap plants as before.
Crude. carbolic acid is another cheap
herbicide that can be employed with
good effect in the destruction of weeds
having strong roots from which new
shoots appear when the tops are de-
stroyed. Burdock, curled dock, woody
plants, such as persimmon and sassa.
fras, may be killed by it.
The great practical difficulty In de-
stroying weeds quickly over large
areas comes from the fact that cul-
tivated plants are like weeds in their
susceptibility to injury, only are less
hardy and as a result are in general
more likely to be severely injured by
herbicides than are the weeds. For
long time to come, in all probability,
1t will be necessary to adhere largely
to the old-fashioned methods of keep
Ing the weeds in subjection-namely,
careful cultivation, rotation, and
watchfulness and the prompt recogni-
tion and destruction Of troublesome
weeds when they appear
Iron sulfate has recently been tested
by us on large number of common
weeds. with varying results. 1t has
but little effect on some and attacks
others promptly. The grasses and
grains are largely exempt from injury,
and this has enabled experimenters in
northern oat fields to do good work
with it in destroying wild mustard
In meadows and pastures we are
sometimes troubled with white-top and
with sour dock. Both weeds are at
tackled by 20 per cent solution Of
iron sulfate, and with a couple Of
sprayings with compressed-air spray
er,
1t is possible to kill most of the
white-top and to prevent the sour dock
from producing seeds, at least until
after the bluegrass seeds, timothy
seeds and hay are harvested. This
matter is special importance be-
cause of the Frequency with which
sour dock seeds occur among timothy
and other seeds. With the use of iron
sulfate it should be possible to keep
the weeds suppressed 80 that their
seeds will not appear in the seed crop
of the grass.
The solution may be prepared by
dissolying 100 pound sack. of iron
sulfate in barrel (50 gallons) of wa
ter. This gives somewhat more than
20 per cent, but Is near enough for
practical purposes.
