Lignum-vita, the vital wood, or,
wood of life, which is found in the
West Indies and some other parts of
the tropical Americas, is said to be
the hardest wood nature produces.
the reason why this wood is so
tough is in the arrangement of its
tibers. Instead of being straight,
they weave back and forth, crossing
and recrossing, like the weave of an
automobile tire. Another peculiar
feature in this wood is that when the
tree is cut, the sap cells fill up with
very heavy rosin, which causes it to
weigh about eighty pounds to the
cubic foG. 1t is one third heavier
than watsF. and so. while excellent for
many USES. 1t would not make a

BALANCED BUDGETS ESSENTIAL
TO SUCCESS

Every well managed and success
full business constantly makes i'm
provements and bOrrows money, but
it does so on a predetermined plan
which keeps a safe ratio between its
liabilities and it's earnings, or ability
to pay its debts.
The same system must apply to
government. Constant borrowings
without repayment pile up perma-
nent overhead of interest which alb
serbs too great a proportion of the
earning power Of the taxpayers (the
government).
From January !, 1920. to January
1, 1926, our national debt was reduc-
ed by about 4 IA billion dollars, but
during the same period state and To-
cal governments increased their
debts by 3-4 billion dollars. State
governments contracted new debts
about 20 times as fast as they paid
off old ones.
The states are going into debt

CONTROL MEASURES
FOR ROSE MTLDEW
New Jersey Expert Suggests Sew
eral Methods For Preventing
Spread OF Disease.

Reports coming in to the State
College of Agriculture, New Bruns-
wick, N. j., from various parts of the
State indicate that there is verit-
able epidemic of mildew on many of
the rambler roses which are just
coming into bloom.
Inquiry of c. II. COnnOrs, dOricul-
turist at the college, as to what
should be done, brought the follow
ing statement:
THE attacked bushes probably
Will give no bloom unless measures
are taken to prevent the spread of
the disease. 1t appears as a grayish,
downy substance upon the new
leaves, the flower buds and stalks.
This disease is caused by fungus,
and the warm days and cool nights
are favorable for its development
Once the disease becomes visible it
is impossible to cure it, but it is
possible to check its spread"
ANY weak fungicide, such as bOr-
deaux mixture or sulphur solutions,
will tend to prevent the spread of the
disease. One of the best and most
easily applied means of control is
sulphur. All seedsmen or dealers in
spray materials carry in stock var
ious sulphur dusts, although flowers
of sulphur will act satisfactorily on
mildew.
Several manufacturers of spray
materials are preparing and packing
a special dust for roses, which con-
tains ninety parts of busting sulphur
and ten parts of powdered arsenate
of lead. This material is effective
against all leaf-chewing insects as
well as against mildew, and when
properly applied will also assist ma
terially in the control of black spot
Of roses.
I "These dusts are inexpensive and
readily applied with a small hand
duster costing from so cents upward
and obtainable from seedsmen and
some hardware stores"
A twenty-eight-page publication
entitled "Roses in the Garden" con-
tanning information about this dis
ease and other matters regarding
roses is being issued free of charge
by the College of Agriculture, New
Brunswick, N. J. Requests should be
addressed to the Mailing Clerk.
