is fungus disease, which, when in
fecting field, causes a dWarfing and
1sickly appearance Of the plants. The
Infection may cover the whole field
Or only patches, being however, more
prevalent in low, wet places 80 H. :,
The fungus was first known in
Europe and Australia. 4 Since its in
PRODUCTION into this country, it has
proven that it can be destructive here.
The dwarf plants when pulled often
break off 1t the crown, showing rot
ting OF the stem and roots. Sometimes
the plants will put forth suckers which
merely make weak growth. In other
places, fruitless heads; which turn
white before maturity will be formed,
Infected plants usually show. a BLUSH
green color instead of the usual green
color seen in healthy plants. en.ls .s
Thus far little is known concerning

Did you ever stop: to- consider how
largely we draw upon the ends OF the
earth for. an. ordinary dinnera In the
Fearly, days. we, lived largely OF OF the
farm. There was nothing that, sur
passed the old time country 'cnrel
ham nor the corned and sdrief bsef, Of
that period. Packing house hams are
put'up in fancier wrappers than were
those In the Old farm smoke house
but with all of sthe packers skill and
art he has well nigh eliminated the
flavor that made hams famous in the
long ago. Dried fruits both wild and
tame, retained the flavor, and dried
corn, pumpkin and the like together
with home made cheese, corn pone
and so ON contributed toward a, most
delicious 'repast. There, were nuts
from the woods, honey from. the bee
tree and wild game and fish that added
variety and satisfaction to, the food
supply. Coffee was made from parch-
ed corn or wheat and maple. syrup and
sugar, and sorghum molasses furnish
ed a delightful punishment for home
grown buckwheat cakes and johnny
cakes and in The spring time sassa.
fras tea put the blood in proper con-
dition for the warm days that were to
come. All these things have changed.
We now get our coffee from the an.
tipodes 81, from South America, fruits
and nuts come from the West Indies
where Columbus first saw. the. new
world. or, from Florida or California,
Sugar comes to us from Cuba or Hon
olulu; We, get hams and bacon from
the big packing houses in the cities
and even our Bread oftimes from flour
made from wheat grown in Canada or
some adjoining state, In the winter
season we have upon our tables gar
den stuff from the tropics and fresh
fruits from the. islands of, the sea-
