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
anthraenose, as it 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.
e. 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 off the tiny spores which spread
the disease.
The bean anthracnose, in common
with one 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 it 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.

BLAME M0LES FOR INJURIES
Real Miscreants Are Small Animals
That Follow in Runway
Skins Are Valuable.

Although complaints Of damage done
by moles are frequently heard, the real
damage is often done by small animals
that follow the moles' runways and
damage corn and other seeds. The
mole itself lives very largely on earth
worms, white grubs, beetles, spiders
and other insects. They very rarely
eat seeds. In recent years, this little
rodent has assumed a commercial i'm
portance as a fur bearer, and there
are now more than 100000 mole
skins sold annually at the great Lon
