are called fungicides. AS a rule these
fungicides must be applied in summer

The two most important fungicides
(sprays to prevent fungous diseases)
for summer spraying are Bordeaux

We have two classes OF insecticides

that eat from the surface OF the plant

their beaks and suck the juices from

sect could not eat any poison placed
upon the leaves, but must be destroyed
by a spray that kills by coming in con
tact with its body. so insecticides for
sucking insects are sometimes spoken
of as contact sprays. The most inn

Dr. J. H. Carroll's Progress at St. Vincent's Attracts
 Widespread Attention

With his head and neck irnnobll- ized by means of an especially con structed contrivance, Dr. John Fl. Carroll, who has been undergoing treatment at St. Vincentss hospital for a particularly rare type of frac- tured neck, is able to be up and about the institution. Hopes of re- covery are held out, something that is astounding local surgeons and causing them to watch the case with unusual interest. While this type of fracture is extremely rare. recovery is even rarer, surgical statistics giv- ing 8 ratio of two per cent It is Dr. Carroll can leave the hospital and even then the head and neck hapness will have to be worn as a safeguard against other apparently harmless falls He will have to be kept under surgical supervision and complete recovery is not expected for months. Even then, and prob ably during the rest of his life. he will have to exercise care as the bones fractured will be weak and lia- bIe again to give way.
 The case has attracted much att tention, not only locally, but from points throughout the East. Surgeons and others have been in communica- ton with pr. Deery, house surgeon at the hospital who has been closely watching the case. requesting data as to injury and method of treatment followed.
 Al1ghting from a trolley car Dr. Carroll slipped and had a fall with apparently no serious results Hours after being admitted to the hospital he began to complain of severe pains in his head and neck Careful ax- animation was made Ek Dr. George w Haw1ey, assisted by pr. sDeery. with the result that the fracture was discovered. At no time has there been symptoms of paralysis of the body below the point fractured. Such paralysis is ordinarily prominent symptom in common fractures or spinal injuries. NIn the type from which pr. Carroll has been suffering the segements of bone come together in such a manner that the spinal cord is not injured.
