VALLEY OF VIRGINIA

WINCHESTER. Va, November 25.-
The board of supervisors OF F'rederlch
county has adopted resolution IN
dorsing an effort to secure govern
ment and state aid in the building OF
modern highway through the counties
of Fairfax. Alexandria. Loudoun. Fau-
auier, Clarke and Frederick. 1t is un-
derstood that these counties have IN
dicated their willingness to make nee
essary substantial contributions. Ihe
road would connect at Winchester with
the Shenandoah valley pike. which is
the main stem of the Virginia road
system. Representative T. w. Harri-
son of Winchester told the Frederick
would press the matter at the forth
coming sessions of Congress and coop
crate with Representative Carlin and
others in having the Virginia appro-
priation applied to the building of this
road. A number of counties in south. .
west Virginia have already constructed
modern highways. and steps nave been
taken to build number of short links
in Rockbridge, Botetourt and other
counties to effect a connection with the
Shenandoah valley pike at Staunton.
When these roads are finished there
will be a continuous stretch of new
highways from WdSnlTlS InTOuB II
the northern and western portions of
Virginia to the Tennessee line. The
route outlined is practically the same
as that used by the big wagon trains
that operated before the civil war be-
tween Tennessee ana the Potomac river
at Alexandria.

should be burned. In case of attacks
by rusts. canker and leaf spots, the
diseased wood or leaves should be re-
moved and burned even during the
growing season.
Leaf blotch, also known as black
spot. is common and very injurious
disease. The first symptoms are the
appearance of irregularly shaped
blackish spots on the upper surface of
nearly full-grown leaves. In this
stage the trouble may be controlled by
several sprayings with ammoniacal
but If these precautions are not taken
another stage of the fungus develops
in the same spots. The fungus in this
later stage lives over the winter on
fallen leaves and sets up q new infec-
ton In the spring which can be pre-
vented only by raking up and burning
the fallen leaves and spraying the DOR
mant bushes with strong Bordeaux
mixture.
Another disease to which roses are
subject is canker. which starts with the
appearance of small reddish patches on
the green parts. generally of one-year-
old growth. Such infected areas may
increase until the entire stem Is sur
rounded and may extend for several
inches along the branch. The only ad-
vice to be given is to cut away rigor-
ously all diseased branches. and it may
be necessary to cut back entire bush es
if badly infected. Cover the exposed
surfaces made by this cutting with
paint or tar. This diseased material
must be burned and the dormant bush :
es sprayed with strong Bordeaux mix

spring.

The two important factors to be
