es on the green parts, generally of
one-year-old growth. Such infected
areas may increase until the entire
system is surrounded and may extend
for several inches along the branch.
Cut away vigorously all diseased
branches, and it may be necessary to
cut back entire bushes if badly infect
ed. Cover the exposed surfaces made
by this cutting with paint or tar. This
diseased material must be burned and
the dormant bushes sprayed with
strong Bordeaux mixture in both au-
tumn and early spring.

Care OF Plants
in Autumn
This Is the Time to Remove Old
Wood and Other DeIeterious Debris

During the fall season make your
plants as free from disease as pos
lsig1e by methods that cannot well be
| followed during the growing season.
In general, whatever the disease, the
affected portions of the plants should
be cut out in the fall and the short
ened bushes sprayed. 1t is assumed,
however, that spraying will not have
been delayed until fall, but will have
been carried on as control measure
at frequent intervals, since spring.
The diseased wood removed in the
fall, together with the old leaves and
debris under bushes, should be
burned In case of attacks by rust,
canker and leaf spots the diseased
wood or leaves should be removed and
burned even during the growing sea
lson.
Fall Spraying
For powdery mildew the control
sprayings for the summer spores
should be with lime, sulphur or potas-
stun sulphide. After cutting back in
the fall the plants should be sprayed
with lime sulphur or strong Bordeaux
mixture. The control spraying for
trusts should be ammoniacal copper
carbonate. The fall spraying should
be with a strong Bordeaux mixture.
For leaf spots, leaf blight and anthrac.
nose the control sprays may be either
Bordeaux mixture or ammoniacal cop
per carbonate, and the fall spraying
should be with the former.
Leaf BIotch
: Leaf blotch, also known as black
spots, is common and very injurious
disease. The first symptoms are the
appearance of irregularly-s
blackish spots on the upper surface
of nearly full-grown leaves. In this
stage the trouble may be controlled
by several sprayings with the mixtures
mentioned above, but if these precau-
lions are not taken, another stage of
the fungus develops in the same spots.
Canker In Roses
Another disease to which roses are
subject is canker, which starts with
the appearance of small reddish patch

they are as easily poisoned as sheep.
Frequent cases of poisoning occur
when animals are confined to areas
where the plant grows and have little
else to eat, and under such circum-
stances heavy losses result. Many
animals also have been killed by eat
ing hay containing the plant dried.
If they have consumed sufficient
quantity to be affected, they usually
die. No remedy that will prevent
death in such cases has been found.
Difficult to Eradicate
The whorled milkweed is exceed
ingly difficult to eradicate, but by cut
ting it down before the heads are
formed much can be accomplished in
pastures and along trails. Ordinarily
it stands from to feet in height.

Where Capital Is Outsider.
