SALUTEs IMPERATIVE

With so many thousands >of men
unfamiliar with military ceremonies
and courtesies now in the service.

It is better to be sane than foolish
when one approaches the subject OF
red in clothes. The scarlet danger
sign should be put over all the coun-
tiers where red fabrics are placed, and
it should be worn by the mannequin
who parades in a red gown. 1t Is
the color of conflict; 1t Is not the color
of peace. The woman who can wear

ally speaking, and she is apart from

An Epidemic Of Gray.
The world has gone on for a CEN
fury or two feeling that gray is the
tone of sadness and that its Quakerish
ugliness must be avoided. 1t has been
q difficult color for decades. Women
have adopted it only when the silver
sheen on it's surface made 1t possible.
This season, however, all doubts
are dispersed by the superior tones
which the dyers have impaired to the
various febrics grouped under the
elastic name of gray.
There is moonlight gray, which may
spell peace, but it is in close prox-
unity to artillery gray, which stands
for death. There is the gray of granite
and the gray of London smoke. There
is the gray Of New England sea
mist. and there is the tone that one
gets from the glitter Of cut steel.
These grays are not used alone this
season. They are combined with hori.
zon and Chinese blue. with jade and
Egyptian green, with incendie red,

Tobacco wilt, which has proved to
be a destructive disease in the hue-
cured tobacco district can be con-
trolled through crop rotations and the
exclusion of infection from drainage,
from fertilization and from the use of
infected implements. This has been
brought out by experiments carried on
by specialists of the department for
series of years.
The disease is exceedingly destruc-
tive, causing the plant to die outright
and frequently resulting in practical
ly complete failure of the crop. 1t
produces symptoms in the leaves, the
stalk, and the roots of the tobacco
plant. The more prominent features
are characteristic umbrellalike
dropping of the leaves, the presence
of a yellowish to black discOlOration
in the woody portion of the stalk
(showing as streaks when the bark Is
stripped off), the presence of Shiny
ooze when the stalk Is cut across with
knife, and decided decay of the
root system.
The wilt is caused by an organism
which enters the plant through the
root and eventually brings about
plugging Of the vessels, thus cutting
off the water supply from the leaves
and causing them to wilt and perish
Fertilizers, cultural methods, weather
conditions, and the like may influence
the extent or progress of the disease,
and it has been observed that 1t Is
decidedly more destructive in relative
ly wet seasons.
Possible Remedies Tried.
In the tests made by the department
numerous possible remedies were
tried, including crop rotation, treat
ment with various alkalis, acids, and
neutral salts, including fertilizer ma
terials and germicides, and the use Of
physical treatment such as subsoiling
with q pillow and dynamite. None OF
these methods other than crop rotation
were effective, however, and 1t Is be-
lieved that where the infection Is pres
ent chief dependence must be placed
on decreasing its destructive efforts
by the use of rotations. Where the
wilt is not present, steps should be
taken, of course, to prevent infection
reaching the soil.
In the tests made by the department
It was found that by cropping badly
infested land for five-years with crops
not affected by wilt the injury to the
tobacco from the disease was reduced
from so to less than 10 per cent.
The crops tested which gave salts
factory results for the practical con-
