conscientious observance of the Home
Cards requirements is all the Food
Administration asks of the housewives
Of the country.
The Food Administration has had q
great many requests, however, particu-

women OF America desire, unseIf1shIy,
to put themselves on the same basis

Save Your Seed Beans Now.
(G. B. Ramsey, Extension Pashologist.)
One Of the most fundamental princi-
pies OF good crop production 10 often
overlooked. That 10, In order to have q
good first class crop Of anything, you
must bave good seed clean and free from
disease to start with. Many of our
| worst plant diseases are carried over from
year to year by infected or badly dis
eased seed. Therefore, 1t may readily
be seen that the very frst step In pre-
pairing for next years. crop is to make
sure that you have plenty Of good healthy
seed.
The bean, one of our valuable crops
here In Maine, is subject TO q very de-
structive disease known as Anthracnose,
often Improperly called rust. As 1t
happens this disease Is carried over In
the seed, therefore the more effective
method Of combating it 10 by seed selsc-
ton. Everyone recognizes the presence
Of this disease by the brownish streaks
and spots on the stems and veins of the
leaves, and most OF all by the circular
sunken spots Of dark brown or rust
color on the pods. A great number OF
the affected plants are either killed out
right or are so weakened that they are
unable to bear fruit. Once few plants
In each row develop the disease, IL
spreads during wet weather TO nearby
plants, and as the pods form, the dis
ease attacks them and produces the
large spots 80 commonly seen. The fun
gus, however, does not stop by merely
attacking the pods but grows through
aud enters the young beans inside. II
the beans are perfectly white you can
usually locate the point of entrance by
the small brown spot that 10 formed.
Since most beans are somewhat COL
ored or patterned, Il makes it impossible
to detect all spots even though you
looked at every single bean. Therefore,
the only practical and safe method OF
getting disease free from seed beans 10
to select your seed from pods that are
absolutely free from Anthrocnose spots.
If the pod is clean the beans inside will
be clean.
Go through your beans now before they
are thrashed and select clean pods enough
to insure having good healthy beans to
plant next spring. Spraying the young
plants with Bordeaux mixture has given
some good results here in Maine, but
this should be regarded as secondary
precaution when you know that your
seed Is not what IL ought to be.
There are some strains OF beans that
seem to be somewhat resistant to An
thracpose, or 'rust," and we hope to do
some work on developing resistance of
strains OF beans next year. II you have
a variety which you have found to be
resistant to "rust" it would be greatly
appreciated and would help rs in this
work II You would write q card to the
Extension Pathologist, University OF
Maine, Orono, giving the name OF the
variety and stating how long you have
grown this kind.
