Kent and .Essex Counties, with a

laboratory at St. Catharines, and Prof.
Davies of the D'epetitnient of Ento-
mology at OtA:C., were present ,to

atit's dliasease is a bacterial type, at-
tacking the vascu'la'r bundles of the
plant stem and clogging tap the ducts
carrying moisture and •food tothe
leaves. These subsequently wither and
the plant dies. The dhts'ease works fast
kil'lin'g the plant, in three days atter
the infection bacomes apparent. The
disease centre was established by, m'i-

Fertilizer Tests on Wheat
Definite results from thee. applica-
tion of fertilizer' to fall wheat have
been abtlain'd by 76 farmer's" in :On-
tario. Already there are 232 'lots tire -
der test and under' the su'pervis'ion of
the Chemistry ,Department of the. Ag
ricu9tura'1 College.' Most of the lead-
ing fertilizer mixtures were used.
After three years of this experimen-
tal work the Chemistry Department
makes the statement .that winter ki'l-
ling of wheat can be overcome to a
large extent by a'ppl'ying suitable fer-
'til'izems, on well' limned soil: Ailso it
was ,found that fertilized 'wheat stools
out much more abundantly than .does
unfertilized wheat.
'Fertilized wheat ripens more uni-
formly than unfertilized wheat, ande8
to 10 days earlier. Also a satisfactory
catch of clover and grass is hearty
always obtained' if fertilizers are used
when seeding grain,
IFertilliaers applied with the drill
give better restntts'than the same fer-
tilizers when applied hroad:calf:' •
As the increase in yields is the de-
ciding .faetlor in using fertilizers 111
extra bushel's per acre seems to leave
a margin of proai,t. This was the av-
