lark-brown Or black areas.

Two diseases frequently found on lima beans are Anth-
racnose and Mosaic. In beans, the symptoms Of the first d.
seasse are: The pods stem and seed show brownish, sunken
spots. The veins Of the leaves may turn black. In the case
of Mosaic, the leaves show mottling in color and crinkling
and puckering. This pickering condition is caused by a virus
carried by 1eaf-hoppeTs and other sucking insects which suck
the substance from the leaves.
Locally there are three diseases which affect the vegeta-
tive parts of the corn plant. These are: Smut, Leaf Spot, and
causes distorted kernels filled with black pow
der spores. When the corn plant is affected by Leaf-Spot,
dark elongated spots appear>on the leaves and may spread
kill them. Mosaic on the corn plant causes notified areas
of light d~ark-green color on the leaves.
The main disease problem of head and leaf lettuce is
with Leaf Spot. This condition causes small, round spots
with purple and red borders. Damping-Off affects the young
~sesedling by causing them to lop-over and die, and the stem
|bears evidence of a water-soaked appearance. Okra and Car
riots do not suffer very much from diseases under our local
conditions. However, these plants are sometimes troubld
with Leaf Spot, in the case of carrots, and Wilt as in the
of okras. The chief disease of onions is a condition called
Soft-Rot. This condition exists in the form of a softness of
the bulb. Soft-Rot Of onions is caused by bacteria attack.
In a subsequent article, the control of these specific d-
seases will be discussed. In the meantime, let us all try to
look for and quickly recognize these several conditions IT
they become apparent in our gardens.

just as the rainy season is the time for growing a garden
it is also the time when insect pests and diseases OF vege-
tables give the most trouble.
We already know, and are still learning, many ways by
which we can combat these agents OF destruction. But IN
spite Of knowing what control measures to use, we usually
use them too late. This is because we generally don't realize
anything is wrong until a lot Of damage has already been
done. BY being able to recognize the early stages Of disease
and insect damage, we can act soon: enough to stop the pests
before they hurt our crops very badly.
Here are a few Of the common vegetable diseases we
generally encounter every season:
Blaci-rot: This is commonly found in cabbage, kohirabl
chinese cabbage, rutabaga, broccoli, and collards. The SYM
toms Of this disease are: The plants show a dwarfed or stunt
ed growth the leaves turn yellow and brown, the veins be-
come black and usually the entire head rots away.
Mosiac: This is a virus disease and is found mostly on leafy
cabbage. The leaves turn light green and show mottlings or
spots.
Dampinq- Off: This disease causes the young seedlings to-
rot at soil level That means that the young seedlings have
no strength to remain upright after the sprouting period
and they rot on the ground.
On tomato, eggplant, and pepper plants there are several
diseases which are found here in our gardens. Virus disease,
one type most prevalent is called Mosaic, causes nothing Of
leaves with highland dark-green areas. The leaves Pucker
or shrink up in certain areas. Spotted Wilt another Virus
disease, may cause the growing point of the plant to wilt
suddenly, darken and die. This causes the upper leaves toll
turn brown and in many instances some round spots appear
Bacterial Wilt: This condition causes the plants to wilt dur
ing the day. However, they recover over night. In many in
stances this condition causes the plants to wilt during the
day. However, they may recover overnight. In many in-l
stances this condition becomes worse until the plant dies.
Damping-Off also occurs in tomatoes egg plant, and pep
per plants, and the symptoms are similar to that condition.
in cabbage. Two other diseases often found in these plantsI
are Anthracnose and Blossom-end rot. The first of these

the mood, the circumstances
tend to tell us what to expect
and so to modify our expecta-

The preparation Of the stage
for what we would like a child
to do is the answer to the pre-
vention problem. BY careful.
thoughtful management we can
prevent untoward happenings
and by the same token, inspire
the correct behavior.
1t is the thoughtfulness that
we need to stress. How powerful
the thoughts of a parent or

of a child is something often
overlooked Yet there is nothing

Middleburg never had it so
good as this summer. The Com

for a handful Of philanthropists,
which, so far, has been used for
everything from All fairs to

ed inside out this season by the
Bull Run Summer .Theater.
Thursday night the profess
sional and semiprofessional COM
pany. under the direction Of
young Stanley Raiff, put on their
opening musical comedy, the

way, gave a champagne party
for the cast, personnel and di-

"The Innocents," adapted from
Henry James mystery, will be
the second production of the Bull
Run Theater, running through
Monday night. Six more pro-
auctions will be given, one q

In contrast to the formal eve
ming gowns and white dinner
jackets Of Friday night. some Of
the same group showed up at
the r. d. Trimbles' barn dance
on Saturday night in their Lewis
and dirndles. The Trimbles, who
bought Reed Thomas big white
house in Aldie last year, seem to
have more fun farming than the
farmers. Their barn. which is
enormous. has been turned over
to weekly square dances with one
side, the smaller one. left for
hay. There is enough room,
under the hand hewn beams,
for four sets, q loud speaker sys-
tenn has been hooked up. a large
table is loaded every dance night
with food. there is an unlimited
supply of cokes and the young
and the old have fun, whether
they square dance or not.
Saturday night. after a splen-
dorous display Of fireworks, Kate
Trimble. who is an expert, had
the sets walk thru their numbers
before they started dancing.
When they did the honors went
to a large group who came out
from Fairfax. Most of the ma
