SPREAD BEAN RUST ON VINES
Wisconsin Plant Disease Specialist of
Wisconsin College Gives Some
Timely Advice.

Farmers who understand condi-
tons In the spread of bean rust or
~anthracnOse, as Ii Is termed. never cul-
tivate or walk through the field while
the vines are wet with rain or dew"
This is the information given by r.
Z. Vaughan, plant disease specialist at
the College OF Agriculture, University
of Wisconsin. When the bean plants
are dry there is less danger of brush
Ing of the tiny spores which spread
the disease.
The bean ~anthracnose, In common
with n or two other spot diseases OF
garden beans, Is most successfully con
trolled by careful selection of healthy
seed. Owing to the greatly increased
acreage of beans In Wisconsin this
year 1t Is highly important that grow
ers become familiar with conditions
which affect the crop. Spraying is OF
little value In controlling the disease
under field conditions.

CALF AFTER SKIM MILK AGE
Animal Should Be Kept Gaining From
Birth to Maturity-Give Heifers
Some Grain.

The problem of caring for the dairy
calf Is by no means solved by the end
of the mild-feeding period. The animal
should be kept gaining constantly from
birth TO maturity If good growth Is to
be expected. Calves are frequently
we'll cared for up to four or five
months of age and then given little at
tention. If good growth is to be Sc
cured. heifers under n year of age re-
quire grain In addition to hay or pas
ture.
Since the condition of the heifer at
pasture is not so closely observed as
when in the stall, the heifer beyond the
m~ilk-feeding period Is more likely to
be neglected during the summer when
OF pasture than during the winter
months.
