Mosaic Disease
Present
Disease Causes Large Losses To
Sugar Cane Growers on the
Island of Porto Rico

A disease of sugar cane known
as the Mosaic, or Noting, is spread
ing rapidly in Louisiana and pro-
badly will cause considerable loss
if it is allowed to take its own
course, according to G. w. Edger-
ton, plant patholoeist, Experiment
Station, Louisiana State Univer-
sity. This disease has been caus.
ing heavy losses in Porto Rico
during the past few years and in
the worst infected areas it has been
estimated that the loss is nearly 40
percent Of the crop. While the
disease may not be as serious here
as in Porto Rico, it is necessary
for the sugar planters to be on
their guard and practice the ne
cess airy control measures.
The disase is easily recognized
by the peculiar effect on the
leaves. The leaves become yellow
ish in color as contrasted with the
dark green Of healthy plants.
Then the leaves have a notified ap.
pearance due TO the presence Of
yellow stripes between the green
areas.
While this disease is present in
many sections of Louisiana, there
are as yet many plantation and |
parts of plantations free of it.
This fact should be taken into
consideration at planting time this
fall As the disease is carried
through from year to year on the
seed, only cane from healthy fields
should be used for planting. The
disease is more easily recognized
at this time of the year than in the
fall, and consequently each plan
ter should now make a survey of
his fields and determine which
ones should be used for seed pur.
poses.
The United States Department
of Agriculture through the State
Experiment Station has started a ,
survey of the sugar belt to deter
mine the present distribution OF !
this disease. The inspectors in 1
charge of the work will be glad to
give any information or advice I
possible regarding the presence of
the disease and what cane should {
be used for seed purposes. Also,
as far as time permits, the inspec- d
tor will visit plantations upon re-
quest and advice regarding the $
seed. All requests should be sent q

The paving of Herbert street will
mean pavement from the county
bridge to the Convery Place bridge,
and thus to New Brunswick and
points west and 1t is figured that 1t
will divert traffic from theN more
crowded thoroughfares and give more
use for the Convery place structure.
1t Is but one block long. and the prop
erty through which 1t runs is all
owned by the C. Pardee Works.
The Laurie street improvement does
not come up to the request of the
property owners in that street that
the whole be paved or none at all.
but it does give a much needed i'm
provement to that section of the city.
The board also passed an ordinance
to grade and curb Amboy avenue from
Myrtle street to a point 100 feet north

looks better to him than all the gilded

tanks. the Treat En- Rough crew,
and anyone who knows George will:
know that he delights in treating 'em
rough. That's why he fought in the
Spanish -American war and that's why
he figured that this mans war
couldn't go very-well unless he had a
hand in 1t. First he tried Battery e,
but the tanks proved too enticing, so
George lied like the trooper he is and
told the recruiting officer he was
forty. Never a blush when he cut the
thi. teen years off his age. and forgot
plumb forgot-to tell him that he'd
been in the Spanish-American war at
all, and had his honorable discharge
therefrom.
Just prior to sailing for France,
some snoopy officer found that George
was ff%ty-three and hat he a served
In the earlier war. Whereupon a
summary court martial was calico
that had for its intent and purpose
the bodily hosting out of the outfit
of n George s.. Walker and the set
ting back of that same George 5. to ci-
william life. But the court looked
George over, and decided that there
were so many lying to keep put OF
the army and so many more lying to
get out that when a man lied to get
in, it was novel and to be considered
and the judgment ~thereupon was that
George would sail two days later with
outfit.
He did sail and he spent eight
months abroad with the tanks, leav-
ing the United States in August and
returning in March. George couldn't
stand The inactivity that his outfit was
subject to so he Joined a supply train
for the front n day and when the
arrived at a base he picked up a tin
cup, to go to the Red Cross canteen
for a cup of coffee. On the cup he
noted the Perth Amboy" scratched
in the surface. Looking further, he
saw the name William H. Nelson
thereon.
.Now whonell is that guy?" George
asked, and he's still asking.
George saw a number Of other
Perth Amboyans in France, including
the tank outfit with which Jim An
derson, of the Red Men, and William
Wogenson, of the Y. M. G. a., are
very much connected and because
they accused the M.P.s of winning the
war, in tones too loud for their
good, they were yanked off the gang
plank and are now doing stevedore
work in France.

rived in town the next day.
