TOBACCO DISEASE.
lCnntinued from Page ID

foo the spots are so abundant that they
fuse. making large, irregular areas.
These dead spots may either dry in place
or rot out SO that the leaves present
ragged appearance. .fspa. ~
The disease has been found to occur on
the flowers and on the seed pods. IL
forms small. dark, irregular spots on the
corolla and calyx, and prominent brown
spots on the pods.
The present season has offered favor
able conditions for the spread of the dis
ease-damp weather and fairly cool
nights.
Should the grower have a compare
lively small amount of the disease 1t VIII
probably pay him to harvest his crop di-
rectIy even though it is not quite ripe
as the infection does not thrive on dead
plants.
Although recommendations for another
wear will be forthcoming, experiments
carried On thus far seem to indicate that
most of the infection came from Connectl-
cut.
In all probability it will be well for the
growers to be exceptionally particular in
regard to their seed. 1t is hoped that
certified seed may be obtained before it is
time to set the beds Best results have
been obtained this year where the beds
(soil. sash. glass. etc.), have been sub
iected to 10 to 125 pounds of live steam
for from 80 to 40 minutes. UnfOrtu-
nately few farmers are equipped to do
this and as a substitute a formaldehyde
solution / to u is recommended. This
will diSinfect the soil and the bed. 1t is
also thought best TO soak the seed in
the above solution for 10 minutes Sew
eral of the growers this year underesti-
mated the importance of the time element
in this process and killed their seed.
This solution is concentrated and by ex-
hos min
utes of soaking will kill the wildfre germ
and still allow the seed to germinate
Eighteen or 20 minutes will not do.
As soon as the plants come up they
should be sprayed with a 4-4-50 bordeaux
mixture with an addition of two pounds of
dry or four pounds of paste arsenate of
lead This will take care of the flee
beetle which is thought to have a part in
transmitting the disease. This process
should be repeated weekly. 1t is sug-
gested that the bed be run as dry as pos
siblc, but should watering become nee
esSary it should be done in the middle
of the day when the sun is shining in or
der that the plants may dry off readily
as wildfre thrives on damp plants
In addition to this a careful watch
should be kept for infected plants and
suspects should be eliminated from the
bed. No one should be allowed to work
or handle the crop in one field after hand
ling or working in another field until his
hands have been washed carefully.
This is all that is known about the con-
troll of the disease at present. but Prof.
Chapman has offered to send to County
Agent Harvey information on new discov-
cries which may develop. He also invites
growers in this section to attend some
of the Connecticut and Massachusetts
meetings which will be held during the
winter.

| Y yOODROw WILSON, during
\N his nearly eight years oc-
v cupancy of the White

cupancy of the White
House, has said and done
many things never said or done by
any previous President. but what is
looked upon by many as the greatest
of precedents is the offer he recently
received to write for a newspaper
syndicate at the expiration of his
term.
1t is reported upon most excellent
authority that for his first article
which. by the way, would be of his
own selection as to subject and
length. he was to receive $150,000.
And again he has set the people of
the country aghast by refusing this
offer, according to good report. CIV
ing as his reason that nothing he
or any other living man could write
would be worth that much money.
Newspaper reporters in Washing
ton, discussing the reported offer, ad-
mitted that the guarantee was pretty
good pay and indicated that publish
erS were showing an inclination to be
more liberal When newspaper men
admit publisher is liberal with his
money it must be true.
But it is realized that the offer
was made with the knowledge that
the name of Woodrow Wilson would
have a high value for quite good
many years to come and that the
President has one great big story to
tell the world, the details of which
have been barely limited at and which
when unfolded in the clear choice
language of Mr.. Wilson will be de-
voured by the reading public of prac-
tically the entire world. The Presi-
