Vice-President and Mrs. Marshall
have been pursued by an unkind fate
in their search for a dwelling place
since Mr.. Marshall stepped into the
vice-presidency on March last.
They made the Shoreham hotel their
residence as a base to begin a search
for a house. Mrs. Marshall, between
thousands Of official calls. was escort
ed by scores OF real estate men to In
spect what they positively knew was
Just the kind of house for the vics'
president and his wife. One by ore
they were turned down until after
months of search one was found that
suited. "
The lease was signed and Mrs.
Marshall began to get things ready f'.t

preliminary arrangements she called
upon the woman who owns the place.
She was informed that purchase1
had been found for the house. WouM
the ,vice-president and Mrs. Marshall
mind relinquishing the lease? IL
OF course, they minded, but didn't
tell the owner so. With their usucl
good grace, although knowing they
could enforce the lease, they released
the woman from her contract. q.

BLlGHTs OF NURSERY STOCK.

A number of different blights, con
corning which little has been known,
do considerable damage to conifers in
nurseries in the United States, accord
ing to bulletin No. A, bureau OF plant
industry, United States department of
agriculture. The increasing amount Of
forest planting and the danger that i'm
ported stock will bring in serious tree
diseases make it especially important
that methods of controlling these
b1ights be found in order to encourage
the growing or planting stock in this
country.
Sun scorch Is the commonest sum-
mer trouble among nursery stock. The
roots Of the plants affected die before
or at the same time as the tops. Death
is caused by excessive water loss. 1t
usually occurs when the air is hot and
cry and the soil around the roots Is
dry The disease Is worse on sandy
soils in crowded beds and on raised
parts of beds. On sandy soils 1t may
kill suddenly and In difinite patches.
Successful preventive measures that
have been tested by the department
are watering, shading and avoidance
of croWding. In nurseries located on
mineral soils the humus content
should be increased.
Winter killing, another disease
causes the tops Of the plants to dry
when the soil is frozen SO that the
plants cannot take up water. The
preventive measures most used con
sist of a light straw mulch on the beds
and windbreaks.
The tops of plants affected by the
mulch blight die in winter. This hap
pens while the mulch is still on or oc
casionally just after it is removed
The roots do not die till sometime aft
| er the tops. The immediate cause Of
death Is unknown. The disease may
be prevented by avoidance OF heavy
! close mulches. Spraying with Bordeaux
mixture just before the beds are
mulched in the fall may also be Of
value.
There are a number of needle-de
stroying fungi, some of which are Ger
tain sooner or later to cause damage
! in the nurseries in the more moist
| parts of the United States. They have
so far done little damage in our nur
series. and have been little studied
! Spraying with Bordeaux mixture a,
the proper time will presumably pre-
vent damage from any of them. The
proper times for spraying have not vel
been determined. The importation Of
European stock should be discouraged
| in order to avoid bringing parasites
which have not yet reached this coun
try
A great deal OF blight occurs In red
cedar seedlings and transplants. The
cause and methods OF prevention are
unknown. Shading, watering and fire
quent spraying should be tested.
