ANGULAR LEAF-SP0T
OF THE CUCUMBERS
Disease Quite Prevalent Through
out Eastern, Middle Western
and Southern States.

The angular leaf-spot Of cucumbers
is disease quite prevalent through
out the eastern and middle western
states. 1t was reported as having
been present the past year in Michi-
gan, Indiana, Wisconsin and New
York, as we'll as the provinces Of On
tario and Quebec, in Canada. The dis
ease has also been reported recently
from Maryland and other southern
states.
The presence of the disease is indi-
Gated by angular, dry, brown spots on
the foliage, which, by dropping out or
tearing. give the leaves ragged ap-
pearance. Although the disease has
: been known for many years In the
field, and has been conceded to be of
bacterial origin, heretofore no organ
ism has been named as its cause. AS
q result of experiments recently con-
Quoted by the plant Psychologists Of the
United States department Of agricul-
ture, however, the germ causing the
disease has been isolated and identi-
fed.

caused by a bacterial organism enter.
ing the leaf through minute oriflces In
the outer layer, wounds not being nee.
essary to permit infection. Young
stems may become soft-rotted or crack
open, but no direct connection has
been found between the leaf,spot and
the soft rots Of the fruit. A heavy in.
festation, however, often materially
reduces the crop by destroying the
active leaf surface of the plants.

HIGH PRICES
GOOD CROPS
And Good Demand for All Farm
Products.


Il is no new experience for settlers
located in a fertile country such as
Western Canada, where lands may be
bought at very reasonable prices, to
harvest a crop that in one season pays
the entire cost Of their farm. Undoubt-
eddy this was the experience Of many
farmers during 1915, but one instance
may be quoted. A settler who came
to Canada from the United States
some years ago decided to add to his
holdings by buying an adjoining quar-
ter section near his home at Warner.
ut $4,000 an acre. with terms spread
over a period of years. He got the
land into a good state Of cultivation
and last spring put the whole quarter
section in wheat. When the crop was
threshed he found that 1t only took
half the wheat on the farm to pay the
whole purchase price of It; in short
q single years crop paid the cost Of
the land, paid all the expenses OF OPP
Grafton and left him handsome sur
plus as profit. This settler had some
adjoining land. and his whole wheat
crop for the season amounted to
over $4,000 bushels. He is now plan
ming to obtain some sheep and invest
his profits in live stock which will as
sure him a good living irrespective OF
what the season may happen to be.
Canada's financial position Is ex-
cellent. All speculation has been elm
mated, and trading is done on cash
basis, with restricted credit.
Detailed figures Of Canada's trade
for twelve months ending October 81
show how the war is forcing Canadian
trade into new channels. One of the
most extraordinary changes is in CON-
MERGE with the United States. A
couple of years ago Canada imported
from the United States two or three
hundred million dollars worth Of
goods more than she exported. The
balance of trade was all with the
United States. The balance is rapid
ly disappearing, and the present out
look is that by the end of this year
Canada will have exported to the
United States more than she has i'm.
ported.
The figures for the past four years
are illuminating. They are as fol-
lows:
Exports. Imports.

Four years ago, in 1912, the balance
of trade in favor of the United
States was no less than two hundred
and sixty-seven millions, and this
year, the balance is reduced to only
thirty-two millions. The figures are
extraordinary and reflect the changed
and new conditions in Canada. It
looks as if for the first time in nearly
half century this year Canada will
sell more to the United States than
she will buy from the Americans
