NEW DISEASES FOR PLANTS

Poets sing of the care-free life OF the
garden plant as 1t drinks in the SUI
shine and the dew, but vegetable doc
tors fail TO swell the chorus, says the
Kansas City Star. In survey just
published by the bureau of plant In
dustry of the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture 1t Is shown that be
sides the common vicissitudes in the
life of the humble potato, the reliable
bean, the popular watermelon and the
dainty lettuce, these and other of our
food friends are getting on the SICK
list with diseases hitherto unknown to
their kind. In 1922 the government
plant specialists found that right un-
der their own care in Washington,
watermelons were suffering from what
they diagnosed as Pythium, while
others in Washington state were at
tackled with RhIzoctonia. Trouble
among tomatoes Of California proved
to be Alternaria and Basisporium gal
larum, not formerly listed among the
Ills which tomato doctors had to pre-
scribe for. Spinach In Idaho was
found to be suffering from a stunt
Ing caused by the Fusarium disease,
while PuccInla subnitens was dlscov-
cred for the first time attacking spin
ach IN Washington and Oregon. Aphel-
enchus olesIstus made its initial ap-
pearance among the Chinese cabbages
in Texas, while the radlshes in Mis-
souri, were shown to be sick with
Eryslphe polygoni. The plant path
ologists say that these diseases are
Just as bad as they sound. Most of
them are caused by various sorts of
tiny parasitic fungi. One Of the most
menacing OF the newer potato diseases
is that known as yellow dwarf. 1t Is
not only carried in the seed, but is
also carried in the soil and when in

How the sultan Of Sulu was called
TO order by modern witchcraft shortly
after the Philippines were acquired
by the United States has Just been
told for the first time in the American
Journal Of RadIolo-y. The military
officer In control OF Sulu one day de-
scribed how with the X-rsys one could
see the actual bones within the body.
The sultan, unable to credit this, told
his people that the Americans were
great liars and that no confidence
could be placed in them. As a result
his people became unruly and the sui
tan demanded an increased allowance
for keeping them in a friendly mood.
Matters having become serious, the
sultan was brought to Manila. In the
Pathological department Of the hos
nitsl he wns shown his hand with the
X-rays on seeing the bones he al
most collapsed. A conference followed
and the Sulus' allegiance was CON
pletely established.

PLEA FOR THE WATERWAY

In the Canadian senate on June II,
Hon. J. D. Reid, Minister Of Railways
and Canals in the preceding govern
ment, spoke at length upon his mo-
ton that it is in the public interest
that immediate action be taken" in
| futherance of the St. Lawrence pro-
ject.
He reviewed the preceding develop
| ments. the need and benefit of this
improvement, the findings of the In
ternational Joint Commission, and
the main arguments for the i'm
provement
As to the objection against joining
with the United States he pointed
out that "the United States govern
ment has, just as much right as we
have to use the waterway for trans
portation purposes" and he cited the
treaty clause of 1871 giving to the
commerce of the United States equal
rights of navigation in the St. Law
renee from, to an into the sea for
ever"
$50 far as navigation is concerned
the United States have exactly the
same rights as Canada. II so, why
should we build all the canals at our
own cost when they are willing to
join with us and pay their proportion
Of the COST"
He maintained, and gave figures
to support his calculation, that on
the grain movement from Port Col
borne to Montreal there will be
saving of at least four cents a bus
hel, worth to the northwestern pro-
vinces s10,000,000 year at least.
He reminded the senate that the
northwest is growing very fast.
There are 100000 acres where
the sod has not been turned lying
right alongside railways. The great
northwest must grow and if it grows
in the future as it has grown in the
past the people must have some bet
teS and cheaper mode of transporta-
ton" - ... -,
He showed that it would facilitate
coal movement from the maritime
provinces to Ontario, and that gen.
eral cargo movement from Lake On
tario to British Columbia is already
under way.
He gave figures also to show that
it would cost Canada little, if any
more to join in the complete project
than it is now costing to carry out an
incomplete project.-Toronto Mail
and Express.
