The Commissioner Of Agriculture,

to the eradication of cedar rust in
the fruit growing sections Of the

to six years to overcome The injury
to the tree has been well demon
strated in several instances in this
county.
mir S. L, Dodd, jr,, who has this
work in charge, reports splendid
progress and is glad to note the spirit
of cooperation existing with the gem
eral farmers, which nanifests itself
in their willingness TO have the dis
eased cedars removed, thereby obvi-
ating the necessity Of enforcing the
law as well as saving much time and
expense. No one, after thinking,
should willingly keep a few diseased
practically worthless cedars on his
promies which would ruin his nei-

investment of several thousand dol
lars, any more than would he be
willing to keep a worthless dog that
would kill his neighbor's sheep
In cases where the cedars are Of
much size and many in number, and
where the owner wishes to dispose
OF them, he can do so by making
application to Mr. Dodd, who viii be
glad to give the names and addresses

He says that few drops OF a drug

This drug is a sticky ether compound,

irritating the surrounding tissue.
It is claimed that a quarter OF an
