DELPHINIUM BLIGHT.

In the October number of the Exten--
sion Service News of the University OF
MARYLAND, Prof. C. E. Temple OF the
plant pathology department states that
many Maryland gardeners this year
have reported trouble with delphinium
blight. which is said to attack both
annual and perennial forms of the
plant. The disease. according to Pref.
Temple. is readily conveyed on the gar
deners shoes or tools, making 1t highly
important that the soil which has pro-
duced diseased plants be carefully dis
infected. for which purpose Prof. Tenn
pie recommends formaldehyde, l part
to $40 of water, applied at the rate OF
3 to quarts per square foot. and sug-
gests that the soil should be first thor
oughly pulverized. Covering the soil
with burlap or canvas for few hours
afterWard helps to increase the ef1-
cheney of the trea tment.
The many gardeners about the city
who have grown fine larkspurs or del
phiniums only to lose them by diseases
should profit by the suggestion. The
formalin is not at all dangerous to use
and may be procured from any drug
store.

CHRYSANTHEMUMS.

Some years ago the Department OF
Agriculture published a bulletin on the
anthemum-Farmers Bulletin NO.
i311-which presented with great clar-
ity the fundamental practices underly
ing the successful culture OF the Marcy
garden varieties, and pointed out the
fact that the chrysanthemum is very
satisfactory flower for the amateur, re-
curing very simple treatment and
yielding large displays OF flowers. AT
this time, when the early chrysanthe-
NUNS are beginning to bloom and the
other citizens of the flower garden are
dropping their foliage and getting ready
for Winter the chrysanthemum surely
comes into its own. In the first place,
the chrysanthemum is semi-hardy; even
the blooms can Withstand light froSts
which eliminate the dahlia, saliva and
other Fall blooming species. Yet, as
pointed out in the bulletin cited
which, by the way, was written by B..
Y. MorriSon-chrysant differ in
hardness. The large Powered green
house varieties cannot bloom satlSfac-
torily out CT doors without protection.
But there is a wealth of outdoor types
in a wealth of colorS to suit the garden
ers fancy. New varieties are being
added rapidly every year, not always
better than the old, but often introduc-
ing some new feature.
In respect to increasing itself, the
chrysanthemum has few equals, as each
Spring there spring up several young
plants from about the base of the old
stalk. differing in number according to
variety and the vigor of the cid plant,
but always abundant. Mr.. Morrison IN
his bulletin recommends that chrysan-
themum plants be divided every year.
lust as indoor ChrySanthemums are
handled Such division, if accompa-
MED bv good culture, means larger and
finer blooms than can possibly be OBJ
tanned on undivided plants. Chrysan-
themumS may also be produced from
seed, but such propagation is restricted
to the development of new varieties.
With such a simple process as division
readily available, there is no need to
search further.
Again, as emphasized by Mr.. Morrl-
son, the chrysanthemum responds to
liberal feeding. Any one who has seen
greenhouse growers care for crop Of
this flower will appreciate what liberal
feeding means. Not simply fertilizlng
the soil before setting the plants, but
applying nutrients at repeated intervals
throughout the growing season. Whether
it is a mixed fertilizer bonemeal, sheep
manure or ether animal manure, It
matters little, because all OF these ma
terials contain nitrogen, perhaps the
most important plant food, or, better
expressed. the most limiting plant food.
Chrysanthemums supported by stakes
or by wire trellis hold themselves
strongly erect and make a gorgeous
show in the Autumn garden, being as
much the finale of the home garden
flower season as the narcissus is the
prelude.

The Navy Department reported that
the chief of the Bureau of Navigation,
on tour of the West Coast, found OPP
portunity to visit various Naval Reserve
armories, at some of which the per-
sonnet were present, although at others
they were away on their Summer
cruises. 1t was added that for the
personnel whom he was privileged to
see he takes the opportunity of saying
that their appearance was highly graft
flying as indicating high morale and
every promise of very real usefulness in
preparation for their mission.
For the units that were absent it was
said that he Is able to say that the con-
dition and upkeep of armories reflected
such credit as TO indicate similar high
morale and promise of ability to full
fill their mission.
At all units visited there. we're re-
ported to be waiting lists of applicants
eager TO join the organizations, and
this feature was declared evidence of
high standards. The chief of the bu-
reau expresses regret that time would
not permit him to visit all units, but it
was said that the generally high show
ing made by those visited cannot fail to
assure him that the same may be in
ferred of all.

Reserve, it was reported by the Blu

pies The important spray is just after
the petals fall. Arsenate Of lead is the
poisonous agent generally used because
of effectiveness and adherirg quality.
Arsenate Of lead brings to mind at
once the spray residue problem, which
is troubling commercial fruit growers
everywhere but should scarcely bother
home gardeners in this region, because,
in the first place, home gardeners rarely
spray more than two or three times,
and in the second, these sprays are
applied early in the season, while the
fruit is small and while rains are still
in line to wash OF most of the spray.

BUSINESS is MAKING
FULL SEASONAL GAINS

Thus far in October, says the United
Business Service of Boston, business
appears to have made full seasonal
gains. There is every evidence that this
trend will continue during the balance
OF the month. Building Is gaining more
than seasonally, automobile producers
are ordering materials and stores are
buying December supplies. The long
decline seems to have stopped-just as
it did in the Spring. But now, with ad-
justmentS having been made throughout
industry, an upward movement Is much
more possible.

TAXATION AND

The Indiana legislature is run

day.
AS a result of the Rowley repri-
mand the senate will meet as a COM
mittee of the whole at 10 a. m,
Tuesday and try to reach a solu-
lien to the tax problems.
Comment of Senator G. Oliver
Holmes CRep., Lake. that revenue
measures must originate in the
house aad the senate can do little
but talk" proved unavailirig in pre-
venting the committee Of the whole
plan.
Adopt Amendment
Democrats joined with Republic
ans In promoting the idea.
But a full hour slipped by with
the Rowley and other speeches and
then the senate by special motion
made slight gesture at cutting
governmental costs.
They adopted an amendment TO
the Beckett bill which will cut all
budgets 10 per cent over the 1890
figure. The bill originally called
for a mandatory cut of IS per cent,
was changed to 20 in committee and
the mandatory feature eliminated
by an amendment. The 30 per cent
plan was evolved in a @. o. P.
caucus and put across despite OPP
position from Senator Chester A.
Perkins Dem. st. Joseph, who
pointed out that local budget cuts
can not be made by blanket legis-
lation without difficulties which
may necessitate a special legislative
session.
