The relation of soil mei-alias tc drought spot, corky core and other apple tissue diseases ases ,ins been clean'. ly demonstrated by Mr. alcLitrty in the Okanagan. The apple c,ToWci3 are now hopeful that 11• .1•n , of soil and irrigation ineigesement war; be envolved that will «sore•. • t the soil conditions indirectly rea•,onsqd for the • breakdjown in apples. 111:; experiments have demonstrated tied' an unfavourable environment ma! not he expr'tssed immediately by 0;,,. ease symptoms. After the opt. v.. vorable, soil moisture ronditicna brought about root killing, no ere]. ence was obtained of the wrill known apple -tissue diseases until thefollow- ing season. These ,experiments illustrate that a !wealthy tree grow.; on a normal soil, so we are attempting to learn what a tree dislikes. The sensitive parts of a tree's anatomy are tau rale white feeding roots. They ex press their dislike to soil econdit:on: by turning brown. These roots for- tunately speak before the real t'i uble, the breakdown of apples oece.' We appeal to the froit growers 'o study their trees from the nureer' to the full bearing stage, so tail they will be able to detect the heel - thy trees. Healthy trees grow only upon normal soils, so attempt to create a moisture supply under year abnormal trees that is similar to that beneath your normal trees. Your soil is different from that of your neighbor so your re.i;;hnoes practice may not suit you. The 1ive_tack man says that stunted calf is likely to be- come. an unthrifty cow. Ina simi- lar way, the stunted young tree le likely to beeenie 0 diseased mature tree. Pathologists find that preventives are usually leis costly than cures. But a preventive fence has little e1' - feet if the disease is inside, so we are attempting to learn. the symptom.; of health as well as disease. In po- tatoes we find an almost infinite num- ber of virus disease symptoms. An explanation has been found for the' existence of so many forms, for potatoes may become infected .vitt combinations of - distinct virus- IL - eases. Furthermore, the symptoms are different on every soil and unaar every distinct climatic condition. The farmer is wise who avoids the confusion of symptom complexity by s removing as "rogues" all plants that t do not conform to a high standard of health. i A control measure bared into:' knowledge of health has been ap- plied recently to control a beret ills- , I ease. li a - ease. In the past, losses have been very severe from a beet root -rot and t wilt that attacks the young plants. There are only slight differences be tweet diseased and healthy plant;s„in their very early stages, but the farm- ers saved their Crops, who learned to '?,.ter't healthy young plants at the time when blocking and thinnheg w ;Lae. e. When healthy plants only lwr_71 .iiowed to remain, the losses wore :mall. Time may not permit }the farmer to study the symptoms or disease, but if he chooses to in- crease • his knowledge of heattit symptoms, he may do a Int to rave his crops from disastrous disesses. 1 , NEW ARMY LEADER Commission••r Edward J.

The boat had to be boarded up fore and aft to prevent the heavy ;matt from flooding her, but she got through her task in no more than fifty-three drays actual running. Not a few British tugs made extra- ordinary journeys during the war, and one towed a cargo of sores 0 distance of ever 1,200 miles often through mine - infested seas and reached her destfuation without a stretch.
