FIGHTING THE
WHITE PINE RUST

Forrest H. Colby of Bingham. the
State forestry commissioner, has re-
turned from a trip to York county,
where he has been conducting an in
vestigation of the white pine blister
rust. A crew of men is now at work
al Kittery Point under the direction of
Prof. John NJ Briscoe of the forestry
department Of the University of Maine,
assisted by Abram Strauss, patholo-
gist at the University of Maine, w O.
Frost of Rockland, a graduate from the
forestry department of the University
OF Maine, and State Senator Arthur J..
Chick of Monmouth.
The prevalence of the disease in York
county is due to the fact that there is
more young pine in that county than
ir other sections of the State, in fact, 1t
is claimed that this disease is more
distinct in York county than in any
other section of New England. 1t is
claimed that the disease was brought
to this country 10 years ago in nursery
stock which was imported from Ger
many.
Commissioner Colby is using every
precaut Onary measure to prevent the
spread of the disease and the crew will
be kept at work at kittery until the
first of October, when the danger period
for this year at least will doubtless be
passed. This work is being done in
connection with the federal govern
ment.

SELECT BEST TOMATO PLANTS
Which VIII Provide Supply
Throughout Growing Season.

Much care should be taken In the
choice OF tomato plants for setting out
into the field. The small gardener who
depends on plants raised by the more
extensive grower must demand the
best plants from the standpoint OF va
riety, health and vigor Of the plants.
In determining the variety 10 be-
planted the gardener must aim at n
succession which will supply tomatoes
throughout the season. A combination
OF varieties that can be highly recon-
mended is, Earlina for real early (pre-
ferably Langden's), Chalks Early jew
el, for mid-season, and Stone or Red
rock for the late tomato.
IL tomato plants have been given
plenty OF space I'm the hotbed and
good care from the start they will
have a good stalky growth. Splndly
plants should be avoided. The ideal
plant will be from s 10 10 inches I'm
height and have a stem measuring In
height at least three-eighths of an inch
I'm diameter.

ALFALFA FAVORED FOR PIGS
Results Given OF Experiment Made at

Kinds OF Feed.

Ground alfalfa makes very good
feed for pigs; but II is worth more to
feed with corn, rye, barley or wheat
than with q more bulky feed like
mIddlings. At the Nebraska expert
ment station eight lots Of seven pigs
each, averaging S5 pounds. were fed
on various kinds OF feeds for S4 days.
They found that IL took 442 pounds OF
cornmeal and lat pounds Of bran to
produce 100 pounds OF gain; $50
pounds OF cornmeal and 118 pounds Of
middlings produced the same results;
while equal results were obtained
from feeding 35s pounds OF cornmeal
and 119 pounds OF cut alfalfa hay.
The latter was found equal TO ground
alfalfa.
