Wonder Drugs for Gardens

sprays. but there have been some
in which the antibiotic was ap-
piled to the stem. Undoubtedly
some experimenter win try q
hypodermic needle on a tree to
see what viii happen. That Is
the way new things are discov-
cred.
The main point is that a con-
siderable number of scientists are
working on this new program to
see If it won't help to solve some
Of the plant disease problems
which are so discouraging to the
gardener. More especially the
gardener can be cheered by the
fact that 1t looks promising
enough for commercial Arms to
turn some Of their scientists to
this field. Yes. 1t looks as though
the wonder drugs are coming
into the garden.
Form and Costs in Doubt
Even after they have found
the answers to the questions
outlined there are still the prob
lens Of manufacturing the anti
biotics in a suitable form and at
cost which wiz put them within
reach Of the plantsman.
There are not many who could
justify spending $5, $40 or SIS
for q prescription to cure a plant
that cost only a dollar or two.
The commercial firms are al
ready thinking about this phase,
but it will take considerable re-
search to find out just how much
refinement can be omitted in
preparing wonder drugs.
Undoubtedly there will be
some who will want to avail
themselves of this research long
before It is ready for them, but
most gardeners will be content
to continue their plant protec-
ton program using the materials
available. They win be content
because 1t goes without saying
that as soon as the new wonder
drugs can be made available the
commercial firms viii bring them
to the gardener, just as they
have all Of the other products
Of science.

Evidences of Fear
Make Dog Bark
And Seem Vicious
By Peter Boeas

"Our dog, Shorty" says a
correspondent, "is friendly and
good natured and wouldn't harm
any one. Yet in the presence
Of small children who show tim
idity toward him. he barks. at
the same time running at them,
thus soaring them all the more.
II q small child stands its
ground calmly and pats him. he
does not do this. Why?"
The answer is simple. It is
the instinct Of dogs to pursue
anything or anybody that shows
terror Of them and especially
any one who runs away The
trait. long fostered, may lead
to viciousness and to all kinds
of trouble.
Don't let your dog play with
small children unless some re-
sponsible grown up is there to
preserve order. Teach children
that It Is dangerous to run away
from any dog. If they are afraid
Of a dog, make them leave it
alone: and 10 dogs out of 20
viii do the same to them.
When your pup or older dog
begins to eat his meals. let him
alone. Let him eat as he wants
to, especially II he has a good
appetite. Don't tease or other
wise bother him while he is
feeding.
I have seen children (yes and
grownups) amuse themselves by
yanking a bone from between
the Jaws Of q dog that was chew
ing happily at 1t. / have seen
them pull his food dish away
from him, In sport. in the midst
Of q hearty meal. I've seen and
heard Of this and other forms
OF teasing many times. It is bad
for the dogs health, and 1t is
worse for his temper. Often he
snaps at the teasing hand-and
thus falsely wins the reputation
Of being vicious.
It Is true that dogs drink
more water in the summer than
In the winter, but they do re-
quire a certain amount Of water
even In cold weather. Remem-
Der your pet needs fresh water
and can't drink ice.

Life in the Country
January Is Tops as Gurden Month;
Getting in Wood Is Fun With New Sow

The old order Is repeating it
self. The new seed catalogs are
coming in. and January is be-
coming the best garden month
of the year.
It may be impossible to grow
the kind Of vegetables and fiow-
efs that are pictured in the
catalogs, but one always hopes
in January that his garden will
grow rich and lush in June.
When snow is flying out Of doors
it is hard to remember the
strength of the midsummer sun.
We notice there is a new bush
bean being perfected. 1t is blue
in color. the catalog says. and
turns green when 1t is cooked.
Must be q relative, Of the blue
COCO bean, one Of the best we
have ever grown.
The blue COCO is q pole bean,
and with us it seems to have
no enemies. Insects never seem
to harm it and. even in last
summers drought, it produced
a crop. Our only trouble was
with rabbits. They enjoy the
delicate bean shoots and got a
lot of our vines before they had
a chance. The cows seemed to
like the beans, too.
The blue COCO is a French
bean. It is blue. as its name in
dicates, and turns green when
it is cooked. It's flavor is excel
lent, and the bean may be used
at any stage Of growth. When
allowed to dry on the vine it
makes excellent shelled beans.
The cows remind me that the
garden still is unfenced. And
that is a matter that can't be
put OF until summer. I am sure
that I'll not be allowed to remain
on The 40 Acres this summer
If the garden isn't made stock
and rabbit tight.
It is bad enough. I am told.
to raise a gaden and have 1t dry
UP for lack of rain. But to have
it eaten up by cows is just too
much.
I shudder to think what might
happen If the cows break in
again this year.

The term anti-biotic has come
to be associated with wonder
cures for serious diseases. We
have all come to look upon PEN
icillin, streptomycin, terramycin,
aureomycin and the others as
being wonder drugs for curing
human ailments. So it is not
astonishing TO find that the
research workers have been try
ing them out on plant diseases.
Actually they are only In the
experimental stage at the mo-
ment but already enough results
have been obtained to show that
when costs can be reduced these
wonder drugs are probably going
to be employed to control plant
disease.
The difficult viruses. those
plant diseases which are almost
impossible to control through
the available means may be
whipped by these new drugs.
The black-shank disease of to-
bacco, a serious problem in the
tobacco-producing areas, is be-
ing studied and the pathologists
are encouraged with their pre-
liminary work. The halo blight
of snap beans has been q serious
problem in the Idaho beam
producing areas. Work on that
disease is a little more advanced
and still looks encouraging.
Tests So For Encouraging
These are only o few Of the
tests being started to explore
this field, but already there is
enough to encourage some Of the
major companies to set up lab
oratories which will undoubted-
ly supplement present research
II not open up new fields.
OF course there Is the major
problem of determining which
Of the wonder drugs win destroy
the disease germs, the proper
timing Of an application, the
quantity Of an anti-biotic nee
essary to protect a plant or a
tree, and how best to apply the
treatment. So far most Of the
treatments have consisted OF

Repairing Of Equipment
Should Be Done EurIy

While there is little activity in
the repair shops. it might be well
for the gardeners to look after
repairs and sharpening Of gar
den equipment. Chances are
that they will get better service
and that the necessary repair
parts will be on hand. Later in
the season when every one is
trying to get things done in q
hurry, the supply of parts may
run short causing delays, Better

place lengths.
The saving is a lot Of fun.
But even without the splitting,
there is work to getting in wood.
You have to load the wood you
cut, and then you have to un-
load 1t and pile 1t up neatly be-
side the front porch.
It would be a lot more fun If
I only had to run the saw. But.
unfortunately. you can't have a
fire in the living room if all the
wood is scattered about on the
ground in the woodlot.
