GARDEN DIVIDER IS SCREEN
Spray Early
To Control
Leaf Blight

Spray early this year to
control fungus diseases on
leaves of shade trees and
shrubs. A delay of a week or
two, especially if spring is
wet, may. be costly. For once
a leaf is marred by blotches
and blemishes, nothing will
correct 1t.
An early spray prevents
fungus spores and bacteria
from gaining a foothold. And
it is just as important in
preventing twig blights and
mildews.
The most common leaf
fungus infection in spring is
anthracnoSe. This attacks
sycamore, oak and horse
chestnut with severity, as
well as dogwood, ash. elm.
hickory. linden, maple and
walnut. A basic copper spray
applied at bud break should
be repeated twice at Today
intervals if spring is rainy
and cool.
The fungus gnominia dots
leaves of elms with coal
black spots. Other leaf spot
organisms assault azalea,
laurel, rhododendron, maple,
Towering cherry, blackberry,
even Boston ivy. Again a cop
per spray applied at leaf
opening is the best prevent
ative.
AntibioticS (notably agri-
mycin) are effective in curb
ing fire blight, a bacterium
which pounces upon apple,

DIR. William T. CLOSE TELLS OF
The FIGHT TO SAVE THE CONGO

Leopoldville, The Congo, Aug. II
A doctor was speaking to one Of
the men who can save the Congo.
Look" he said. There is cam
Ger at the heart of your nation and
mine. We have got to get the ma
ton on the operating table and
cure it. But if the operating team
are divided or jealous and each
wants to be number one, if they
do not know where they are going
or if their hands are dirty, the
patient will die"
The doctor was William T. Close
of Greenwich, Connecticut, describ-
ed by the Roosevelt Hospital, New
York, as one of the most promising
surgeons they had ever turned out.
He came to the Congo three months
ago at the invitation of the Congo
lese, not in the first place to prac-
tice medicine, but because he knew
that if the cancer at the heart of
a nation is not cured there is lit
tie value in curing the bodies of
individual citizens.
When the Congo army mutinied
and all hell broke loose, Europeans
poured across the Congo River to
Brazzaville by the thousand and
