PUFF BALLS, THEME AT
THE SCIENTIFIC MEETING

The Morgan County Scientific ard
Historical society met on Thursday
evening, April 2, with the president,
Supt. George Carr, in the chair.
After some discussion, motion
wa. made and carried that the day
of meeting be changed to Tuesday
the next meeting to be on Tuesday
evening, April 21.
Miss Minnie Johnson was then in
troduced, who gave talk on Puff
Balls y
Miss Johnson first spoke of the
four great classes into. which plant
life is divided, touching on it's lowest
iorms. then taking up her subject
"Puff Balls
There are so or so thousand
known species of fungi and they are
really very important and one of
these important services is the add
ing of humus to the soil. Some are
parasitic, preying on both plants
and animals. Some cause disease,
such as the apple scab. They also
attack the fruit, and both the twigs
and the limbs They are also the
cause of the clover blight and many
other plant diseases.
Fungi, Miss Johnson said, are i'm
portant to animals. Caterpillars,
flies and various insects are attack
ed. Insects carry the fungi that
cause cucumber wilt as well as many
other plant diseases.
We have the poisonous kinds,
such as the death cup" which is
very beautiful, and there are many
so small that they can scarcely be
seen by the microscope, while puff
balls have been found weighing as
much as 40 pounds.
Contrary to public opinion, puff
balls do not spring up overnight.
vegetative and fruiting part. The
vegetative part grows for long
time unseen, and the plant which
seems to spring up overnight Is
simply the fruiting, like the apple
on the bough.
and the highest are the puff balls.
Miss Johnson took up one by one
the different varieties, classifying
them as to size, appearance and uses.
Drawings of the plants were also
shown, from which Miss Johnson
described minutely the construction
of the plant, naming and describing
the function of the different parts.
There was no discussion following
the talk, and no doubt such discus
sion would have brought out many
points of local interest, as we have
quite study of the subject and are
familiar with most of the local
specimens.
Miss Johnson spoke rapidly and
showed great interest as well as
deep knowledge of her subject-a
probed to it's depths. The subject
might well engage the attention of
many, because of the delicious food
value of many kinds. Others could
profit by knowledge of those kinds
that produce the plant diseases.
There are very few text books on the
subject, which makes Miss Johnson's
knowledge of the subject of very es-'I
pecial value.
AT the close of the talk. table
laden with Miss Johnson's specimens
attracted the attention of all. Snc |
had on exhibition more than 40 |
specimens, most of them from Nor
gan county. There were some from |
the Neelyville vicinity, from Deaver-
town, from Miller's Hollow, and !
from Deerfield
Altogether very profitable even
ing was spent.
