Vanderbilt Immediately arranged
with the American consulate at Milan

OF money when in Austria, but as soon
as war broke out transportation and
hotel rates mounted so rapidly that
his supply was depleted

at various times to be allowed to pro-

the climatic conditions and the pTeva-

about three-QuarterS Of a buShel, or

The most important cucumber
troubles are blight, bacterial rot. root
knot and aphids The two diseases
which cause the heaviest losses every
year are blight and bacterial rot Of
the fruit. Not only are the mature
cucumbers affected. but also the
vines. The disease first axes its
appearance on the leaves as dark
watery spots An examination OF
these spots early in the morning re-
veals the presence of a Watery sub
stance hanging on the under side Of
the leaf beneath the spot. Later in
the day this substance vaporates,
and there remains a white. chalk like
residue. AS the disease progresses,
these spots dry out and become brown
and then the tissues become brittle

at the time the petals fall, and they
soon work their way into the young
fruit. The infested pears can nearly
always be detected on account Of
their more globular, and later lop
sided shape, while the nornal-shaped
fruits are free from maggots, The
infested pears usually crack open
after rain before the pears drop.
When fully grown the maggots are
about one-eighth Of an inch in length
They grow into the ground and form
minute oval cells in which they pu-
emerge the following spring. There
is one brood each.
No remedial treatment is positively
known other than gathering and de-
stroying the infested pears before the
maepots leave them. This is COM
paratively simple because the inIest-
ed pears are so easily distinguished
from the healthy fruit.

 Mining men in Sonora state have known for the past two months of the pending revolution. One of them in a statement to Mir Rice said that the country is far from quiet, and that a war which will be far worse than that recently ended is in the course of construction.
