BLIGHTS 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
blights 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
OF at the same time as the tops Death
is caused by excessive water loss. 1t
usually occurs when the air is hot and
dry 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 it may
kill suddenly and in ditinite 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 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 at
the proper time will presumably pre-
vent damage from any of them. The
proper times for spraying have not yet
been determined The importa ton 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 fre-
quent spraying should be tested.

RELlNQUISHED THE LEASE.

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 4 last
They made the Shoreham hotel their
residence as base to begin search
for 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 vice
president and his wife. One by one
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 for
moving day" incidentally to these
preliminary arrangements she called
upon the woman who owns the place
She was informed that a purchaser
had been found for the house Would
the vice-president and Mrs. Marshall
mind relinquishing the lease?
Of course, they minded" but didn't
tell the owner so. With their usual
good grace, although knowing they
could enforce the lease, they released
the woman from her contract
Il have inspected every available
residence in this town, and now | am
through house hunting" said Mrs
Marshall.
Il am going to have a cot moved
into my office and stay there" muir

been taken on many of the house hunt

Force of a Pitched Ball,

How fast does a pitched ball travel
At Bridgeport, Walter Johnson and
Napoleon Rucker pitched at a ma
chine for testing the velocity and
striking energy of rifle fire, with the
result of establishing a mathematic-
ally exact record. Johnson registered
a speed Of 1913 feet a second, Rucker's 8
best rate being nine feet less. Rucker
thought that with more warming up
the only Johnson would be capable
of shooting at the velocity of $50 feet.
AS the record stands, it means that
the interval of time from pitcher to
batter is a split second. What the
batsman at the plate faces is a hurt
ling thing with a striking force equiv
alent to about half that if a bullet
from magazine pistol. AS a consid-
Grafton of foot pounds, disregarding
mass, one would come off better il

GYPSUM CO. STRIKES WATER.

The United Gypsum company, which
has been prospecting for water in the
mountains west of Blythe for the
past year, after boring three holes,
has at last been successful, having
encountered a good flow at $50 feet.
When the water strata was struck
after having gone through about 300
feet of hard clay, the water rose to
a height of 125 feet in the casing
and the supply seems to be ineXhaust-
ible. The quality of the water is said
to be excellent.
The new we'll is located about four
miles west of the summit, near the
Blythe Junction road, and is about
four miles from the gypsum mines.
Immediately upon the discovery of
water the Gypsum company put C.
o. Bean in the field to survey pipe
lines to the mines and for the estab-
lishment of a water system, includ
ing reservoirs, s,etc.-Blythe Herald.

HONOR THEIR PATRON SAINTS
Small Communities in England Cling
to Ceremonies That Are Many
Centuries Old.

Hawarden, the little town in Flint
shire, North Wales, which was made
forever memorable as the residence of
w. E. Gladstone, recently celebrated
the festival of it's patron saint and
heavenly protector, St DeinlOi Many
legends cluster about the name of this
saint, but little is definitely known
about him. His name was given to
the library which Mr.. Gladstone estab-
lished in Hawarden. The little Welsh
town, although now unimportant
boasts of great antiquity, and among
its relics of the past is the ruined cir
cular keep of the thirteenth century
castle, Hawarden castle, which was
the seat of Mr. Gladstone, dates from
1852.
The first of December is the fes-
tival of the saints of the isle of Bard
North Wales. This little islet was for
centuries center of Christian activ-
ity, and pilgrims from all over Wales
gathered there on each first day OF
December. It's soil was considered
sacred, and it's shrines were famous
for miraculous cures of the sick and
crippled A farm on the mainland
opposite BardSey still remains tithe
free because its owner was ancientiy
charged with the expense of supplying
refreshment and rest for the weary
pilgrims. The worship of the saints
Of Bardsey has all but disappeared
among the modern descendants of the
ancient Cambrians.

Cattle should be weighed before
being loaded wherever practicable,
since a comparison of this weight with
the sale weight will show the net
shrinkage. Moreover, this weight at
point of origin may be of material
benefit to the shipper in case Of
wreck or a very poor run to market.
There is no way Of entirely prevent
ing shrinkage in the shipping of cat
tie, but by judicious care in handling
and feeding the cattle just previous
to shipping the shrinkage may be
lessened. If cattle are to be in tran
sit for "A hours or longer it is good
plan to feed about two bales of nice
bright hay for each carload a few
hours before loading
When care is used in trailing the
cattle to the loading pens, not driv-
ing them too fast nor too far in
day and giving them five or six hours
day to Craze on the way, long dis
tances may be covered with no ap-
parent injury to the cattle. On arri-
val at the pens it is well to give the
animals a light feed of hay with a
little water Or allow them to Craze a
short time before loading them, un-
less the grass is very luXuriant An
excessive fill of water or green fodder
or grass just before loading is not
good for the cattle, as it NAV cause
them to scour in transit; then, too,
