FUNGUS DISEASES OF TOMATO
fore II ls Mature, Causing II to
Drop to Ground.

Blossom-end rot Of tomatoes is a
disease caused by a fungus. 1t attacks
the blossom-end Of the fruit while the
fruit Is green and causes 1t to rot and
drop Off before 1t is mature. AS soon
as the disease Is observed, pull off all
affected fruit and destroy 1t. After this,
spray thoroughly with bordeaux mix
ture. Bordeaux mixture is made with
n pound Of blue stone, one pound OF
quick lime and IL gallons of water. Dis
solve the blue stone by hanging 1t in a
cloth bag, in water, over night. Stake
the lime separately, then mix the two
thoroughly, and add the IL gallons Of
water. Earthen, glass or wood recep-
tacles must be used to dissolve the
blue stone In. 1t will corrode metal.
If fruit is rlpened, gather all ripe
fruit before spraying. 1t is neces-
sary to repeat the spray every week
as long as there is any sign of the dis
ease.

Farmers can make the cultivation
Of corn most effective and go IA long
way toward assuring themselves of
harvesting a good crop by getting the
start of weeds. When these robber
plants are small, before their roots
have taken firm hold and before they
have used much soil moisture, they
can be destroyed by a light stirring Of
the soil. When weeds have become
better established, however, deep cul-
tivation only will kill them. Such deep
cultivation not only more labor,
but 1t cannot be accomplished without
breaking and destroying many corn
roots.
II corn land has been properly pre-
pared deep cultivation Is not advisable.
1t should never be given close to the
much harm would be done by breaking
the roots.
To get an early start Of the weeds,
In many sections or In seasons when
seed terminates slowly, II is advisable
to harrow once or twice or otherwise
to cultivate the Geld before corn comes
up. Limited moisture makes thin
stands necessary and 1t Is poor man
agement to allow grass and weeds to
rob the corn Of this moisture.
Aside from destroying weeds, time
ly cultivation is beneficial in prevent
ing the loss Of moisture by evapora-
ton and also In fastening the warm
ing of the soil. The loss Of soil mois-
ture by evaporation continues much
longer from a compact, damp surface
than from a loose, dry surface. and
the evaporation tends to keep the soil
cold.
In Northern localities and ut high
attitudes the conservation of heat is
frequently as important as the con.
%servation Of moisture. Luckily, both
heat and moisture may be conserved
by good, timely cultivation. Heat is
wasted In evaporating or wasting soil
moisture, making the surface loose
and dry saves both soil heat and sol
moisture.
Cultivate After Rains.
Cultivating after heavy rains Is o
good practice. To be most effective
the c%ultivating should be done as soon
al the surface is dry enough to work

According to the figures of the

NEW INDUSTRY CONES
AS RESULT OF WAR
Wooden Nails Made Out of Locust
Trees Results in Good Profits
All Around

SPOKANE.-Thew war has brought to
light an unusual industry in Columbia
county, Wash, where locust trees are
being cut and manufactured into wood
en- nails used in the construction of
ships for the government. One con-
tractor has orders for more than 300,-
900 of these nails which vary in length
from a few inches up to two and one
half feet. Locust trees are said to
make a nail superior even to oak. The
demand for the timber is shown by the
fact that this contractor pays $40 q
cord for the trees as they stand. He
cuts the trees himself and leaves all
parts of the wood not suitable for
nails for the owner of the grove. The
timber is cut into square bolts and
shipped to Portland for turning into
sizes desired
