TOMATO DISEASES.

There are many diseases of the to.
mato which cause more or less loss,
but those which promise to be most
serious this year are the leaf blight
mosaic and the wilt.
The leaf blight starts with the low
err leaves, first appearing as small
black spots, followed by a yellowing
and dropping of the leaves through
| out the season. This disease is like
ly to start any time between July
18th and August 1st, and to become
more and more destructive as the
season progresses. 1t can be con
trolled by spraying with Bordeaux
mixture.
The mosaic is a peculiar disease
that is not well understood. 1t caus-
es a mBttling of the leaves and fire.
quently a reduction of the leaf sur
face. Slightly affected plants will
produce a very good crop, but seri.
ously affected plants produce little OF
no fruit and frequently die very ear
ly.
The wilt causes a willing and final
ly a dying of the plants. When the
| stems of one of these diseased plants
is cut across near the ground, it will
be found to show a more or less wei
defined circle of brownish or black
tissues. This disease has been found
to be quite prevalent in the vicinity
of Swedesboro and has been reported
from other parts of New Jersey. II
is the most severe of the tomato dis
eases in the Southern States, but it is
to be hoped that our northern win
tiers will try to hold it in check in
New Jersey.
The New Jersey Agricultural Ex-
pertinent Station is conducting spec
ial studies of the diseases of toma-
toes, and will be very glad if grow
ers of this crop will forward speci-
mems of diseased plants to DR.. Mel

SIZE OF COMMERCIAL PEACH
ORCHARDS IN NEW
JERSEY.
JERSEY,

There is an attempt by some ON
mercial interests to take advantage
of the fact that the horticultural di-
vision of the State Experiment Sta
ton has been very successful in the
growing of peaches in southern New
Jersey. They encourage people to
believe that the Station recommends
without qualification that people
plant peaches for certain profit.
The Station has freely given out
information as to location, soils, fer
t~ilizers, pruning and spraying of
| peaches, but it does not recommend
that all fruit growers should attempt
to produce this crop.
The commercial production of fruit
in New Jersey must be conducted up
on a better basis in the future to be
profitable. The small orchard of a
few trees of several varieties can no
longer. be considered commercially
advisable. In all seasons except
those of a short crop, local markets
are quickly over-supplied. The large
wholesale markets must be the out
let for the bulk of the fruit crop.
The man with a few trees is obliged
to spray, fertilize and cultivate to
secure perfect fruit, and his cost of
production is higher than in the East
of a fruit grower whose business is
planned upon a scale to be CONNER
cially economical.
The man with a few trees also has
too small a quantity to make any
impression in the wholesale market;
and, further, the lack of quantity
means a lack of uniformity in the
product. The small grower often has
trouble to get his fruit sprayed and
cultivated at all in some localities.
The New Jersey Station does not
mean to discourage any one from
planting a home orchard, neither
does it state that a small orchard
may not be profitable, but it does
wish to warn people not to engage in
commercial peach growing upon a
small scale without knowing all the
facts from disinterested parties.
The following cautions are partic-
ularly a~ppropriate; do not locate a
peach orchard for profit unless you
know the land is Of sufficient eleva-
tion. One must have at least two
hundred or three hundred trees of a
variety to ship economically to whole
sale markets. At least one thousand
trees of a variety are necessary for
regular shipments in carload lots. Do
not plant too many varieties. Do not
plant any except known varieties of
merit. Do not plant a commercial
orchard where good shipping condi-
tions are not available.
The Station does not recommend
fco-operative orchard paintings where
one man owns an acre or two of
peaches. He is absolutely at the
mercy of circumstances. If the COM
pany fails or cannot carry out the
work the grower has a few trees on
his hands that he can neither cult
vate, spray or manage economically.
The risk is great.
These statements have no refer
ence to so-called "Acre Farms"
where it is intended to furnish people
with a liberal plot of land for a home
and garden, but when it is claimed
that such an area is sufficient for
commercial profit in peach production
the Station wishes to warn people
that such a result is doubtful in most

PREPARING FOR WINTER SHORT
COURSES.

The Winter Short Courses in Agri-
culture at the New Jersey State Ag-
ricultural College will open at New
Brunswick, N. j., on Monday, No
vember Is, 1915. Teaching facilities
have been materially strengthened
for the coming winters work.
The Dairy Laboratory has been
thoroughly overhauled and equipped
with new and modern machinery, and
the forge shop has practically been
rebuilt and new FORCES installed.
There is under process of erection an
additional vegetable gardening hot
house, while the facilities for instruc-
tioffal work in domestic science have
been greatly increased. The Short
Courses offer an opportunity for
young men or young women to re-
ceive practical Institutional work in
agriculture and domestic science.

MIDSUMMER POULTRY
CAUTIONS.

-
Mr. c. E. Brett of the Poultry De-
partment of the New Jersey Agricul-
tural Experiment Station in outlining
some summer cautions for poultry
men makes the following SUCCESS
tons. One of the greatest dangers
in summer is over-crowding of the
stock. This must be avoided, as over
crowding and filth in poorly ventilat-
ed coops is dangerous and will result
in heavy losses.
Diarrhoea is one of the most COM
mon diseases during the hot weather.
charcoal should be kept before the
birds at all times so that they may
be able to regulate their digestive
system. This disease may be due to
a number of causes such as filthy wa
ter, impure food, musty litter, I'M
clean and damp quarters, over-feed-
ing of meat, and indigestion from any
cause. In any Ease it is necessary to
find the cause and remove it.
Work with the adult stock is now
important. If the stock has not al
ready been culled, that work should
| be- done Immediately, and all the fe-
| tldlC Jid dIC hlLCllQCu W NC hCDl
| over another winter should be given
open air quarters with a w~ell-shaded
| grass range. Males should be sepa-
rated from females. Only the best
year-old and possibly a few ~two-year-
old birds that are sound, healthy and
vigorous should be saved. The male
birds should be given good grass runs
so that they may be in shape for the
breeding pen when wanted. Birds
that are to be sold should be disposed
of before the moult, and those put
into summer quarters should be look
ed after carefully and not overfed.
Growing stock which is to be used
for breeding purposes should have a
good shaded grass run. An orchard
is ideal. Only a few should be kept
in a flock and the cockerels should be
separated as soon as possible. The
colony houses should be about 100 to
$50 feet apart. If the birds are con
fined a few days they will become ac-
customed to their house and will give
very little trouble by mixing. The
houses should have plenty of fresh
air and roosts for the birds at night;
and pure water, shell, bone and plen-
ty of good, pure food should be avail

FORAGE CROPS.

The past season has been unusual
for the growing of forage crops for
swine. The Dwarf Essex Rape and
sweet clover used in combination for
supplying forage for swine at the
New Jersey Experiment Station evil
dences good production.
The plan of forage crop rotation
which is being carried out on the
College Farm at the New Jersey
Station has met with good success
and the authorities there believe that
any farmer who is interested in pork
production would be well repaid for
a visit to the Farm.

The German emperor has issued
manifesto to the German people on
the occasion of the anniversary of
the outbreak of the war. In the man
ifesto the emperor says: Before God
and history, my conscience is clear. |
have not willed war. Full of gratitude,
we can say today that God is with
u.s."
The foregoing is one of the most
glaring instances in history of the eX-
tent to which the human mind can be
warped by passion and prejudice.
How any human being can believe
that God is pleased or even placated
with anything that tended to bring
on the carnival of death and suffering
that has been going on in Europe
and has affected the entire world, fol
the last year, is difficult for any reas-
enable person to understand. Yet
! the kaiser is probably sincere in his
belief.
Every heather used to offer sacri
fees to his god, in order to obtain
and other unenhghtened countries
they still do so. The ancient Jews
who had a higher idea of responsible
ity to humanity than their neighbors
believed that Jehovah was only
tribal god, and commanded them t
exterminate their enemies-he didIl'
require them to kill women and chill
dren, however; but the Christian IA
tions had arisen, or thought they haC
to the conception of God for tn
whole world, who believed in justic
and mercy for even the brutes. En-
peror William and his adherents woul
take us back over three thousan
years, to a more narrow and vindit
tive god than any ever believed
since the evolution of religion passe

In a splendidly written editorial on

Florida to make up a purse to pur-
chase a suitable cup to offer to the
