ROSE BLACK SPOT

Indications point to the fact that
this disease is unusually prevalent
this year and is very active in defoli'
ating our rose bushes. Loss OF leaves
is serious in that these are in truth
the food manufacturing organs or the
plant, converting, iwth the aid of sun
light, the carbon dioxide of the air into
nutrients. Black spot manifests itself
at first in u light brown area on the
under surface of the leaf, followed by
general following and change OF the
brown to "a full black color. At this
stage the leaf falls to the ground to
serve as source of infection for the
new leaves.
Control is difficult, and at the best
not wholly successful. Thorough spray
ing with Bordeaux mixture repeated
frequently to cover the younger leaves
is a good preventive measure. Quite
recently Cornell University, at Ithaca,
n. Y, has found that a busting mix
ture of nine parts of finely divided sui
phur and one part of powdered arse
nate of lead is valuable for control
ling black spot. Naturally the sui
phur-lead dust is lest applied when
dew is on the foli@ .,e. The gathering
and destroying of the diseased leaves
helps greatly TO i.revent the spread of
the disease.
Fortunately some of the better by.
brid tea roses are quite resistant to
this disease. Among these may be
listed Pink and red Radiance, Duchess
of Wellington. Francis Scott Key and
Columbia. Among the very suscep-
tible variet les are Nine. Edward Her
riot, Grus9 an Teplitz and Nine. But

nurserymen assist the purchaser by
commenting on the black spot resist.

NATIVE VEGETABLES

Few people realize how many of our
most valuable vegetables are of
American origin and were absolutely
unknown to Europeans prior to the
settlement of America. Drop the
white potato, sweet potato, tomato,
sweet corn, lima bean. bush bean,
pepper and possibly the squash from
the list of our common garden vege-
tables and one gains an idea of what
a notable contribution America has
made to our food supply and incident
ally that Of the entire world. Strange
to say, 1t took the white man quite a
long time to accept some Of the new
plants as food. The tomato is the
conspicuous example. For years this
plant was grown merely as a garden
curiosity and was even considered to
have poisonous properties. Not until
the middle Of the last century was
the tomato recognized in it's true
light. In fact, it is within the last so
years that 1t has become a staple ar
ticle of diet. Undoubtedly the native
Americans unconsciously improved
the various vegetable plants by select
ing the better forms, and thus in
their humble way contributed greatly
to their Improvement.

PEDICREED TREES.

Many nursery catalogues offer pedi-
greed nursery stock at prices con-
siderably above the normal. Such
trees are supposed to be descendants
of exceptionally productive individuals
and to carry in. themselves the SUI
period quality of the parent. 1t is
true that individual trees do vary in
their producing capacity and in their
tendency to bear extra fine fruits,
Careful Investigations prove, how.
ever, that these differences are gen.
orally due to soil and root variability
and cannot be transmitted to young
trees by padding or grating. The
New. York Agricultural Experiment
Station at Geneva procured Baldwin
apple trees from various locations
throughout the United States and
planted them side by side Strange
to relate. despite the various claims
TO superiority, when the young trees
came into bearing all carried exactly
the same type Of fruits, ordinary
Baldwin apples. For many years the
Missouri Agricultural Experiment Sta
ton took careful records on straw
berry plants of a single variety, but
was unable to discover any plants
which differed from their fellows in
producing power. Just lately the
California Agricultural Experiment
Station reports that record on indi
vidual grapevines failed to show any
heritable differences in yielding power.
Hence it is advisable for the
prospective purchaser of fruit trees to
deliberate carefully before paying a
bonus for pedigreed trees or plants.
In all probability there amt no such
animile."

TIMELY SUGGESTIONS

This is a fine time of year for
dividing and reset-ing iris. especially
old established clumps which are run
ming down in vigor, due to crowding
and good exhaustion. Before resetting,
thoroughly till the soil, working in
bone meal to supply the fertility es
sential to the production of fine
blooms.
Watch the grapes carefully for
black rot. which spreads rapidly from
berry to berry, quickly destroying
entire clusters. Picking and destroy
ing the diseased berries will check the
disease, but thorough spraying with
bordeaux mixture is the logical treat
ment.
We repeat the advice given last
week to spray the tomato plants with
bordeaux mixture. Leaf spot is be-
coming prevalent at this time and II
uncontrolled will remove all the foil
age from the plants. Fruit from
partly defoliated plants lacks in flavor
and size.

MUTATIONS.

A subject of universal interest to
the horticultur:st is that of muta-
lions. Fruit, vegetable and flower
growers are alike interested. The sud
den appearance Of red apples upon a
tree ordinarily bearing yellowish fruits
cannot help but excite curiosity. Such
occurrences are very rare. but they do
occasionally happen. The Craven
stein apple has given rise to at least
two different red-colored mutations, or
sports as they are known in current
language. Delicious. the fine eating
apple appearing in our Christmas
holiday season. has quite recently
yielded two solid red forms Of great
commercial value. Fortunately these
variations can be multiplied and thus
give rise to distinct varieties useful
to mankind. Oranges are very much
inclined to yield these mutations. but
very often these are inferior to the
parent tree. Recently mutations have
been found in the peach. The nee
tarine occasionally appears suddenly
on the peach tree.
Mutations are not as general in the
vegetables, but are not unknown. In
red potatoes there may suddenly arise
notified tubers which thereafter per-
petuate themselves.
Mutations are very common in cul-
tivated flowers. The rose yields many
new and valuable forms. Red Radi-
ance arose in such a manner from
Pink Radiance. Ophelia has yielded
many mutations including Madame
Butterfly and Golden Ophelia. Chry
eanthemums, carnations and dahlias
have all given rise to many new forms,
some of great value.
There is no known way to encourage
mutations nor to forecast their aDpedr-
ance. OF course they are extremely
rare, yet 1t may interest all of us to
watch our trees and plants for such
phenomena.

SrunlLom,s Record Flight

A sea swallow, ringed in Northum-
berland, England, early in 1919, is re-
ported to have been captured at Cape
Town.
Mr.. Fl. B. Witherby, the ornithol-
oeist, and the moving spirit lip the
British bird-marking scheme, stated
recently that more than $4,000 birds
were ringed in 1924 while more than
10000 birds have been so marked
since 1909.
One of the most remarkable cases
Of migration was the crossing Of the
Atlantic by kittiwake gull, which
was ringed in the Farne islands in
1923, and was afterwards shot in New
foundIand In 1924.
Swallows have the longest range of
flight, and in several cases ringed
birds have been found In South At

Substitute for Diamond

After several years Of research,
metallurgical experts of a steel plant
at Wetzlar, in southern Germany,
claim to have produced a metal alloy
nearly as hard as the diamond says
Popular Science Monthly. The diff
ference in the scale of hardness is
merely one-tenth Of a degree. The
alloy consists of a fused mixture of
metallic tungsten and tungsten car
bides.
Tests have shown that this tungsten
alloy, while somewhat softer than dia-
mond, offers many practical advan-
tages. It is said to have metallic
structure and to retain its cutting
power much longer than the diamond
that has crystalline structure and is
extremely brittle. hence soon loses Its
cutting power by the chipping of its
crystal edges.
The Monmouth inquirer., 1926-02-25
IDEA OF NUMERALS
FROM HUMAN HAND?
That Theory at Least as
Good as Any Other.

No one knows how our numerals
originated A good guess, which he
acknowledges is only a guess, is made
by Charles Pomeroy Sherman in the
Mathematics Teacher.
The first use Of the numerals OF
which we have record, Mr. Sherman
tells us, is in India, and dates back
to the end of the Second century of
our era In the Ninth century an
Arabian mathematician wrote a work
on algebrS in which he used for num-
bers the signs which he had obtained
in India or Afghanistan.
BY 400 those numerical signs in
use in Europe were identical with
those in use by us today, and they
gradually supplanted. in general use.
the clumsy Roman signs and the still
more clumsy Greek.
sThis much for what we know"
says Mr. Sherman, 'but we do not
know who was the originator of those
signs nor what was in his mind when
he formed these seemingly arbitrary
shapes. Therefore, as we do not
know-as we have no information
whatever--tt is allowable for us to
conjecture what, probably, was then
in his mind.
''The savage looked at his hand,
and saw four fingers and a thumb,
five short straight lines; and thus he
learned to count up to, perhaps, FIVE.
He looked at the other hand, and saw
five more short straight lines; and
thus learned, less often, to count up
to ten. In place of his fingers he
used to Illustrate his numbers, small
stones or short pieces of stick or short
straight scratches in the sand or
earth or on the rock
1.-THE Roman also looked at his
hand, but he saw also the V-shape be-
tween the forefnger and the extended
thumb, and conceived the idea, to save
making five straight marks, to join
two straight lines at the end thus
initiating that V shape, and to make
that V stand for the whole five
straight lines.
"One day, holding his two hands be-
fore him, palms outward, and hap
pening to draw them together until
the extended thumbs crossed. he con
ceived the further idea, to save max
ing ten straight marks, or two v
shapes, to cross two straight lines in
the middle, thus initiating those
crossed thumbs, and to make that X
stand for the whole ten straight lines.
So the savage and the Roman used
short straight lines, arbitrarily placed,
for their numerical notation"
