quite similar in its principal symptoms
to those found in the field, the princi-
pal differences being that the disease
appears to be more virulent, many of
the plants willing and dying.
Nature CT the Disease.
The mosaic disease belongs to the
same class as the mosaic diseases of
tobacco potato, tomato, poke weed and
other plants, which have been known
for some time. The exact cause of
this class Of trouble has not been dis
covered, but it is considered to be what
is known as the filterable virus, an
agent of infection which is so finely di-
vided that it will pass through pOr-
celain filter and still retain its ability
to reproduce the disease when injected
into healthy plants. The sap or juice
of any portion Of a diseased vine, if in
jeCted into a healthy vine, will pro-
duce the disease. The period of incu-
baton, that is, the time which elapSeS
from the incubation of the vine to the
first visible symptoms of the disease,
in the greenhouse is from seven to
fourteen days, while in the field it is
usually fourteen to twenty-five days.
The agencies of transmission Of the
disease from diseased to healthy plants
are doubtless many. 1t has been def
nitely proved that plant lice trans
ferred from diseased TO healthy plants
will carry the disease. 1t is highly
probable that other insects will be
found to act as carriers. 1t is also
practically certain that the disease is
spread by Dckcrs when harvesting the
CuCumbers.
Contro! Measures.
Judging from the nature of the dis
ease and from the preliminary expert
ments thus far carried out, the remedi-
al measures indicated by our present
knowledge are % the eradication or
control OF insect pests which act as
carriers of the disease, and (2) the
application Of sanitary measures to
eliminate the sources of infection. To
be most effective, these methods must
be carried out by all the farmers of a
community.
Rigid ineec. control measures should
be started as soon as the plants are
up and continued throughout the sea-
son, especially previous to the begin
ming of picking, and all mosaic di-
seased plants pulled and destroyed, as
well as plants with which they have
come in contact.
Owing to the fact that greenhouse
conditions are much more completely
under control than field conditions, it
would seem an easier task to control
the disease there. AS previously stat
ed for field control, all disease plants
should be pulled and destroyed as
soon as found and the insects should
be eradicated to prevent their spread
ing the disease.

dark green alternate. In some cases
the leaves brown and die back from
the tip.
The fruits are very conspicuously af-
fected, being dwarfed, more or less mot
tied or bIotched with areas of darker
green on a background Of light green,
grecnish yellow, or almost white. IN
the most decided cases the green areas
are raised and appear as definite warts
or prOtuberanCes, sometimes Of consid-
cradle size, and the fruits take on
many abnormal shapes. In some cases
the fruits are Almost white, hence the
name "white pickle" This name prob
ably is due to q confusion of this dis
easCd condition with the white or al
bino plants which typically bear white
cOlOred pickles, and which have been
known to occur occasionally in fields
for many years. The discoloration and
warty condition of the fruits, which
often appear on cucumbers not more
than an inch or two long, render them
unfit for picking purposes, so that in
addition to the great reduction in yield
caused by the disease, many, if not all
of the fruits produced by diseased
vines are unmarketable.

SPRING HORSE SHOW
ATTRACTS BIG ENTRY

"Fr,sk while you may; you VIII end
your DAYS on the bride path of Central
Park" say the breeders in Kentucky. as
they gaze upon one Of the Blue Grass
pastures where the young saddle horse
colts are at play. The value and quail
ity of the saddle horses TO be exhib-
tied this week at the New York Spring
Horse Show bears out this prophecy
Harness horses also will be repre-
scented in notable strength. with en-
tries for the first time from Ohio, Penn
sylvania and New Jersey, in addition to
those from New York.
John L. Bushnell, of Springfield,
Ohio; A. W. Atkinson, Of Camden, n. J,.;
James Cox Brady, of Gladstone, \. .J.;
J. Campbell Thompson, Emil Seelig,
Mrs. Charles W. Fletcher and Esmond
P. O'Brien will be among the exhibitors
Of harness horses.
An entirely new class for saddle
horses will give prominence to the
suitability Of the horse and rider, be
sides the usual points for horsemsnship,
conformation, quality and manners.
There are twenty entries. II also is
specified that the entries must be more
than 142 hands and must be ridden
by the owner or member of his fami-
ly; also, that the horse must have been
ridden for "st least thirty days in the
Riding Club, City of New York, or the
Riding and Driving Club Of Brooklyn,
or in any recognized riding academy In
New York City"

A Reason Why
Red Sox Win

Army gray is the color OF the
background which batters must face
at Fcnway Park, Boston. home OF
the Red Sor. Every other field in
both leagues has green for a back
ground. as green Is generally recog-
nired as best for the battcrs.
The Athletics, who opened the
season at fenway PARK, complain
bitterly Of the tremendous advan.
tsge the worlds champions get from
this army gray color. which is more
stubborn to hi against than an
army gray mule. According to the
Athletics. before the season is much
older American League clubs are
likely to protest strcnuousiy against
the background.
The star Red Sox pitching stan.
Who are all fast ball hurlers. jump
their fast ones high, and they come
right out Of the army gray so sud-
denly that opposing teams. unused

sea. In addition. the Red SOx. with
their offence weakened By the trade
OF Speaker. must rely more than
ever on their star twirlers.

The new nine holes of the knicker-

Tales of a Wayside Tee
By CRANTLAND RICE.

golfer hooked his tee shot into a shall
low ditch. only four or FIVE inches be-
low the level surface. As he was look
ing at the ball and debating what club
10 use the ball suddenly Topped into
the air out Of the ditch upon the level
turf above. What mysterious force
had suddenly developed! The answer
followed a brief moment later when a
toad hoped from the underbrush on
his way to further security where his
day dreams would not be broken by
any queer white objects resting upon
his spine.
A Mere Detail.
We will never forget an incident con-
nected with a shot that Walter Hagen,
open champion in 1914, made at Green
witch last spring. This hole was $50
yards long. Hagen got a long drive
and then played full midiron to the
green. When Alex Smith. Jerry Trav-
ers and Fred Herreshof had played the
three balls were all found short OF the
green. But Hagen's ball was not in
sight.
Standing by the corner of the green
was a stranger. not only to the course
but 10 golf.
Looking for that first little white
ball that came up" he asked; When
assured that such was the object OF
the search, he remarked casually:
"Well, it dropped in little hole there
by the stick standing up"-pointing to
the flag.
The fact that Hagen had played a
450-yard hole in by sinking midiron
shot from 200 yards away had left
the visitor strangely cold. Evidently il
meant nothing at all in his young life,
as he walked dejectedly away without
further comment.

WORKERS DIE OF ANTHRAX
Two Stricken by Dread Disease in
Handling Germ-Laden Skins
From Abroad

Two men. formerly employed by wool
and leather firms and admitted to the
Municipal Hospital few days ago, died
from anthrax, according to announcement
today by DR. A. A. Cairns chief medical
Inspector He asserted that both men
were stricken while handling diseased
hides.
The victims are James McCauley, of
1855 Umbra street, Manayunk, and Alex
ander Gremerk. of 1895 stiles street.
The disease was contracted through an
abrasion on the faces Of the men In both
instances. Despite the fact that strums
from Italy the only known cure, were
used, the malady, which proves fatal in
more than half the cases, could not be
checked.
According to Doctor Cairns about
twelve cases Of anthrax develop annually
In Philadelphia. Four deaths already have
occurred the present year from the dis
ease. Doctor Cairns blamed the lax inn
portation law. which allows anthrax germ
laden hides to be brought into this coun
try, with dsinfection as the only re-
quirement, for the presence Of the malady
