Ex- perts as yet have found no suit- able cure for this pest but it appears that it is more prevalent in some types of soil than in others, Water core is showing to an alarming extent in many cases. This disease is extremely diffi- cult to detect while the turnip is growing, yet causes great losses every year. The disease is caused by the deficiency of boron in the soil and is often controlled by spraying or dust- ing with a boron mixture. The value of spraying at the right time cannot be overemphesized as many fields were sprayed this year but not soon enough. The. best plan is to spray as soon as there is sufficient leaf surface to hold the material. It is interesting to note that the large turnip end vegetable storage plant in the Exeter dist- rict is nearing completion, Mr. Bennett pointed out. This plant will have storage space for 100,- 000 00;000 bushels of turnips as well as several thousands of bushels of ether vegembies. Turnips will •be washed and waxed and then furrowed into the local markets as needed, The building will be equipped with the latest heating device and an automatic temperature control which will be able to change the air every ten minutes. Mr. Bennett stated that this was the, largest storage plant of its kind in Canada and he felt that it should serve to stimulate an already keen interest in the growing of vegetable crops in the County.
