Curing Plant Disease by Antito1ins

English Scientist Tells of Progress in Agricultural
Healing Work in Lecture at Ne,c
National Museum.

When a man gets sick the doctor
feels his pulse. takes his temperature,
listens to his heart and tells him
what's the matter Then the physi-
clan decides what sort of germs
cause that particular malady, and
feeds the patient medicine to. kill
them.
But when a plant gets sick the
physicians must first determine what
is causing the trouble before he can
tell what the trouble is. AS a
consequence the work of a plant
doctor as a curative agent is diff
cult. DR.. l. F. Blackburn of England
told scientists of the Department of
Agriculture in. lecture at the new

Most plant diseases, Dr. Black burn
said, have about the same outward
symptoms, although they-Inay differ

DR.. Black burn said that he dispair-

FALLS CHURCH FAVORS

BY a vote of 209 to IA freeholders
of Falls Church yesterday appro we'd
an, issue of $4,000 of bonds for the
erection of a 10-room graded school
building on the site acquired a year
ago at Washington and Great Falls
streets. The issue still has to be
sanctioned by majority of qualified
voters. special election for which
purpose will be held early next
month, but the overwhelming vote at
yesterdays election is accepted as as
surance of final approval of the issue.
If the issue Is carried in December
II Will end 10-ycar fight for a new
school. At three previous freeholders'
elections a proposal for school bonds
had been defeated, but under d char
ter provision that two thirds vote Of
freehoiders was required for sanction.
At the last session of the legislatu ire
the charter was amended, making a
majority vote of freeholders suffi-
cient, and it was under the amended
charter that yesterdays election was
held. There was no organized op-
position yesterday. The only doubt
in the minds of proponents of the
bond issue had been as to whether
a sufficient number of freeholders
could be gotten to the polls for an
election which was unopposed. The
charter requires that at least SO per
cent of the freeholders must vote to
make an elsstion valid. There were
