OIL SUBSTITUTES ARE
PLENTIFUL IN SWEDEN
Fuel Not Lacking, According To
Swiss Fxnert

STOCKHOLM, June 9.-(By Asso-
ciated Press. )-Sweden can face the
menace of world shortage of petro-
leum with relative calm, in spote of
having no domestic supply of that
fuel, according to Axel f. Enstrom,
leading Swedish industrial and
financial expert, in a recent address
before the Association of Swedish
Industries.
One of the most important sources
of fuel oil which has recently been
experimental with here is bitumi-
nous shale. 1t was estimatee by the
speaker that the Swedish shale de-
posts could yield about 500 100000
vegetable being desirable for stock.
We would like to know what variety
in your opinion is most desirable and
when the seed should be gotten in.
j, A, Tarrant, Ala.
A. Carrots for stock are grown
very much the same Is turnips, and
for late summer or fall crop, the
seed should be sown in the next two
or three weeks. Variety does not
make SO much difference, any ordi
nary variety grown for table use
will serve the purpose. The Long
Orange. the Half Long Danvers and
the White or Yellow Belgiums Will
prove altogether satisfactory. The
writer agrees that carrots, when
properly grown and taken care of
like sweet potatoes, are one of the
best feeds that anyone could grow
for dairy cattle or any other stock.

MORE AROIT ROSES

Notwithstanding that The Age

if rose plants are sprayed thoroughly

youth, yet it can be observed when
fully matured. 1t is really an insect
that is generally classified as an eel
worm the botanical name of which
| is heterodera radioi cola. The color
of this insect is rather OPAQUE, hav-
ing somewhat the appearance of an
embryonic pearl The main factor in
identification is its color and forma-
ton. These nematOdes attack the
roots of various plants, but are par
ticularly injurious to tomato plants,
causing root-knot and wilt, which is
so prevalent in our section, in the
growth of this popular vegetable.
Another name for this minute worm
is the eel-worm, and the manner in
which they attack plants is evil
denced by their boring into the roots
of such plants as tomatoes, dahlias,
potatoes and other Dubious plants.
When they enter the plant they de-
stroy the capillaries.and nature. in
her effort to correct the trouble,
builds knot around the injury and
thus causes what is known as root
knot. When this trouble Is thorough
ly established. there is little that can
be done in the way of corrective
measures.
The plants most susceptible to tho
ravages of this trouble are tomatoes,
cantaloupe, celery, potatoes, lettuce,
spinach, StraWb erries all stone fruits,
figs, English walnuts, grapes and
other fruit may be attacked. This
root-knot is also an enemy to certain
forage crops, such as alfalfa and
other related species of clover.
This disease generally maintains
itself in the soil for period of
three years; in short if any given
plant be affected with this deases, it
would require a period of three years
in devoting soil to other crops be-
fore the disease would disappear.
The great trouble with this pest is
the fact that the source of the trou-
BILE, and, in fact. the host plant, is to
be found among certain weeds, and
in order to ascertain what weeds are
detrimental, it would really be neces-
sary to obtain further information
from the brueau of plant industry,
Washington, d. c.
The plants most susceptible to
nematode troubles are as followks
Alfalfa, other clovers, cotton. cow
peas, field peas, potatoes, pumpkins
soy beans, sugar beets, sugar cane,
sweet potatoes, tobacco and vetch.
The most susceptible crops in the
vegetable line are as follows: AS
paragus, beans, tomatoes, canta-
ioupes. carrots, celery, cucumbers, egg
plant. beets, English pease. Irish po-
tatoes, lettuce, muskmelons, okra,
onions, pepper, satisfy and spinach.
There are also certain number of
woody plants, particularly shade
trees, which would show infection.

A still more practical substitute for
petroleum is wood alcohol, said MIR.
Enstrom. And Sweden could within
a short time produce wood alcohol in
quantities corresponding to the pres
ent consumption of gasoline Its
manufacture as by-product or
chemical wood pulp is particularly
economical. The existing factories
have capacity of about 100000
gallons of wood alcohol year, and
with new building and still more
highly developed methods of conser-
walton. he declared, this capacity
could be increased to about 100000
gallons a year
Finally, Sweden, because of her
great hydroelectric resources, Will IN
the future permit a very much great
er use of electricity stored in bat
teries. Almost every section of the
country is now served by the net or
power lines, and electricity could De

one should use a half pound OF cop
peras. In all cases the copperas
should be first dissolved in water
and then stir in the dry lime SUI
phur. Another important factor in
the control of leaf-spot in roses,
is to Immediately remove all buds
or flowers as quickly as they show
any diScoloration or tendency to
blight, and in removing such ter
minal branches or buds, it is highly
on the ground around the rose bush,
because they spread the infection
and make it more difficult to con-
troll the disease. Another measure
of control for disease in roses is the
cutting out of all old and dead
branches which would seem to be
superfluous to the healthy plant. Old
wood, and particularly dead wood,
should be removed at any time, be-
cause this relieves the strain on the
roots and enables them to more Wig
orouslY support the young or new
branches which are. after all, those
that produce perfect flowers. Good,
clean culture is another big factor
in keeping roses healthy and igor
Gus.
Finally, the writer wishes to eau
ton every lover of roses to watch
their plants frequently, and at the
first sign of any insect or disease
trouble to take prompt measures to
alleviate the trouble. We are accus-
timed to watch the health of our chill
dren, and If we think anything of,
or value our plants, we should exer-
else the same measure of caution
that we do with our children, or even
with our pet stock or animals. We
should remember also that preven-
tive measures Is the real key to
success in combating disease and in
sectS of any character.
