Prof. Werkentnin, plant path
ologist of the State College, who
is with the plant disease survey
being conducted by the Depart
ment of Agriculture, was here
last week looking over the coun-
ty. This was just a short pre-
liminary survey, and he will re-
turn later. He found two plant
diseases-one, a fungus bark dis
ease with which the Volga pop
lars, lately bought by the village
and others, are affected. and the
other, chlorosis, affecting some
of the trees in this locality.
Later he will work on the potato
disease discovered last year by
County Agent Harwell. Prof.
Werkenthin is especially interest
ed in poisonous weeds. Any
persons who know of such weeds
will get prompt attention if they
will bring specimens to County
Agent Harwell's Office. Also,
anyone knowing of diseased
plants will forward the interests
of all concerned by bringing the
plants fresh from the ground,
roots and all.
Miss Gail Richie, extension
worker in home economics for

and Mountainair. The meeting
here was Tuesday afternoon at
the County Agents office. at
Mcintosh and Moriarty Wednes-
day, and are to be at Cedarvale
today, and Mountainair tomor-
row. County Agent Harwell
holds meetings in the evenings
following Miss Ritchie's meet
ings. The attendance so far has
been large. At Willard about
twenty women attended, at Pro-
gresso twelve, at Estancia twen-
ty-six, at Mcintosh thirteen, at
Moriarty ten. Except at Willard
the notice was necessarily short.
| L. M. Harrison, government
crop statistical agent was at the
Progresso meeting. Mr.. Harri-
sons figures at present Indicate
a so per cent increase in the bean
acreage in the county.
J. L. Smith, who lives near
fatigue, reports his crops suffer-
ing for rain. He has all his
crops cultivated, thinking that
will help to conserve the moist
ure. The stand is poor, owing
to the ravages of the worms.
He says his ground was kept
clean last year, and that the
worms come, cultivation or no
cultivation, but that they are
not so bad on we'll cultivated
land.
All children three to ten years
