ROOT ROT CONTROL

TEMPLE, Tex. (R.-Dr. C. H.
Rogers, plant pathologist at the Black
lands experiment station here, has de-
veloped new method of root rot con-
troll for small plots of shallow-rooted
ornamental plants.
He digs from the soil from around
the plant to a depth of feet and 4
feet in area and replaces it with soil
known to be free Of root rot. He mixes
this with one part copper sulphate to
so parts earth.
DR.. Rogers says chemicals will not
penetrate deeply enough to kill all root
rot infection when applied at the sur
face or even at plow depth. Thorough
mixture Of the chemical with the soil
kills the disease.

TINE great fight in the Green
Forest was over, Buster Bear
had taken to his heels in de-
feat. Snorting and whistling
Flathorns the Moose had plunged after
him. Those who had gathered to
watch the fight, with the exception
of Blacky the Crow and his flock, re-
NAMED there by the pond of Paddy the
Beaver. They wondered if Flathorns
would return. They wondered If he
would catch Buster Bear and what
would happen if he did. For few
minutes they could hear the crashing
of brush. Then only the cawing of
the Crows, who had followed to see the
end, was heard.
Peter Rabbit could hardly sit still
for excitement. Isn't he wonderful?'
he cried to his cousin. Jumper the
