The Many Mysteriesyof
Nature
BY L. W. BOWER, NJ. D.

You can take an onion seed and pansy
seed, and plant them side by side in the
same spot of ground. In one case, you
get an onion, with its peculiarly strong
odor, and In the other you get flower OF
rare beauty. You can plant poppy seed
and get opium "a dangerous, habit-forming
Drug, or you can plant rhubarb seed and
get something that helps constipation.
No scientist, living or dead, can explain
these mysteries of Nature. Behind the
invisible life germ in each seed is hidden
the deep secret that nobody understands.
Everything growing out of the ground
seems intended for some use in establishing
natural conditions. DR.. Pierce, of Buffalo,
N. Y, long since found out what is
naturally best for women's diseases. He
learned it all through treating thousands
OF cases. The result of his studies was
medicine called DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription. This medicine is made of
vegetable growths that nature surely in
tended for backache, headache, weakening
drains, bearing-down pains, periodical ir-
regularities, pelvic infammations, and for
the many disorders common to women in
all ages of life. DIR. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription is made of lady's slipper root,
black cohosh root, unicorn root, blue
cohosh root and Oregon grape root.
Women who take this standard remedy
know that in DR.. Pierces Favorite Pre-
scription they are getting a safe woman's
tonic so good that druggists everywhere
sell it.
Favorite Prescription should have the
full confidence of every woman in America
because it contains no alcohol and no
narcotic. DIR. Pierce knew, when he first
made this standard medicine, that whiskey
and morphine are injurious, and SO he has
always kept them out Of his remedies.

Tomato Viii Control
EEsEaS' !

provement over commercial seeds,
that it, and three other wilt resistant
strains produced by the United States
Department of Agriculture are to be
tested on a more extensive scale in
Georgia this season. The writer is
distributing this seed in Georgia, and
it is sent by him to county agents,
who give it to the people whose land
organisms, and who will plant the
seed according to to directions fur
nished by the Government. In this
way definite records are obtained as
to the value of the different strains
for the various countiesl of Georgia.
There is not sufficient wilt resist
ant seed raised, as yet, for general
distribution, therefore it is be sup
piled only in limited way to growers
who will help test it, and keep records
on the results.
The four strains of wilt resistant
tomato seed furnished by the Govern
ment, as we'll as strains from other
States will be carefully tested on wilt
infested land at the Georgia Expert
ment Station, in comparison with
strains developed by this station.
In this cooperative work it is hoped
that strains of wilt resistant toma-
toes, best suited to Georgia con-
ditions, will soon be developed, thus
making it possible to grow tomatoes
successfully, year after year, on wilt
infested soil.
AS the supply of wilt resistant to-
mato seed is limited, it is expected
that growers who have seed furnished
them this year will save their own
seed for next year, and some to give
their neighbors, if the plants grown
this season prove. to be resistant to
tomato wilt.
1t is desired to obtain as much in
formation as possible relative to the
presence of tomato wilt in Georgia;
therefore it will be appreciated if
growers will send specimens of dis
eased plants from their gardens to
the Plant Pathologist, Georgia Ex-
pertinent Station, Experiment, Ca,
who will be glad to supply, upon re-
quest, frank tags for free postage on
such disease plants.
The Marietta journal. (Marietta, Ga.) 1918-1944, 1919-02-28

Tomato wilt, commonly known as
blight, is due to fungi or molds which
live in the soil. This disease is found
throughout Georgia, but is especially
bad in old land and in gardens where
no rotation has been practiced.
1t is not practical to control toma-
to wilt by crop rotation, because the
fungi are able to live in the soil for
three to five years even though to-
matoes are not grown on the land dur
ing that time.
Where new land is available it is
possible to grow tomatoes successful
ly for year or more, but eventually
the wilt fungi will get into the soil
on diseased plant, manure, tools, etc.,
and then wilt will become more seri-
Gus each year if tomatoes from COM
mercial seed are planted in that soil.
Where few plants are to be grown,
it is possible to disinfect soil by heat
it to about 100 degrees, F, in an
oven or kettle, or by steaming it for
80 minutes. Soil disinfected in this
manner woulud have to be kept in
large (12-inch) flower pots, boxes, or
lard cans, and the seeds planted there
in to avoid reinfection of the soil, and
to insure plants free from wilt.
For the gardener who wishes to
grow number of plants, or for the
truck and general farmer, who grows
an acre or more of tomatoes, the
above method is not practical. In
such cases the grower must either
use new land or plant on old land
and take the chance of losing from
10 to 80 per cent of his plants from
wilt if commercial seeds are used.
For a number of years various
State experiment stations, and the
United States Department of Agri-
culture, have been breeding tomatoes
and selecting seed for resistance to
the wilt organisms. AS there appears
to be a difference in the disease
producing organisms in the various
States, a number of strains of wilt
resistant tomatoes have been pro-
duced.
While such strains may be sue
cess in the section where they were
developed, they are not always equal
ly resistant to wilt producing organ
isms ig another section or State;
therefore it is important to produce
strains adapted to the local conditions
Such experiments have been conduct
ed for some time by the Georgia
Experiment Station to get strains
suitable for Georgia.
In 1918 a strain of tomatoes de-
veloped by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture was tested in
number of counties in Georgia. 1t
did not prove equally successful in
all counties, but this strain of wilt
resistant tomato seed was such an i'm

When the dreadful Spanish Infiu-

first reached this country, many pat.

as a sure remedy for this disease
Knowing this would be the case, we
hesitated for long time to recon-
mend our Laxanodine for this disease
Although we knew that it would
quickly reduce fever, congestion and
inflammation, break up colds and Group
and cleanse the liver and bowels, and
this would be an ideal treatment for
influenza yet until it was thoroughly
tested we could not honestly recon-
mend it for this trouble.
1000 Cases Reported
We have now talked with more than
1000 people who have used it for in
fluenza, and in every case it has re-
lieved the pain, kept the fever down,
the appetite and strength up, and in
addition hundreds have reported that
it has kept them from taking the dis
ease, by using an occasional dose.
January 18th, our representative
found our dealer at Stephens, Ca, sick
in bed with his entire family in seri-
Gus condition from influenza, he adj
vised him to try Laxanodine with the
following result.
