"Rust" Disease
"The `rust' disease that attacks out-
door "flowers such as ;Snapdragon and
Hollyhock," said J. F, 'Clark, hortic-
ultural 'fieldman, ,A'griculturaI :Soviet:
ies Branch, "can be 'controlled by
keeping the plants bhoroughly dust-
ed with sulphur. The spores of the
fungi, which cause this disease, are
killed when they come into contact
with sulphur an the plants, thus pre-
venting infection. 'Sulphur may also
be used as a treatment for the con-
trol of black spot and mildew, on
•roses.
"The tarnished plant bug ,is fs'
quently destructive to the •buds o
dahlias and zinnias together with
other ,flowering planta. Dust mixtures
applied by means of hand blower are
of value, especially tobacco dust. Hy-
drated lime when dusted on is prov-
ing beneficial."
Vegetable Crops ;
,Discussing vegetable conditions in
Ontario, George Rush, vegetable spe-
cialist, Horticultural Branch, said
that the yield of early potatoes is
considerably below that of last year
and that fair prices have caused many
growers to market their crop early.
A certain percentage of gro'vers
however, are holding back in the ho
of a greater yield, and believing £ rat
prices will remain at ' their present
level.
Tomatoes have suffered to some
extent with lateral blooms not setting
so well. Staked tomatoes have given
best results in fruit sets.
Beet and carrot crops are fair, and
heavy planting for late crops have
been made.
Peas. both canning and market, are
finished.
Cabbage crops have been good with
large supplies still available.
Late plantings in cabbage and caul-
iflower are large.
