V ‘, eltiasocitr., PL.ANT DISEASES!, In a recent article the various buga end caterpillars likely to attack the gar- den vegetables were discussed with the best methods of controlling them. Many gerden beginners make the mistake at thinking that the poisons of sprays which are used against bugs and cater- pillars will also be effective against Wight, mildews and other diseases which may put in apatarance from' time to time, . The very first thing 'which the begin- ner should learn to realize in connec- tion with the various diseases he is likely to encounter in his garden le that they are entirely distinct and different from ineect troubles and usually more seri- ous. Most of the diseases cannot be distin- guished •when they first attack the plant. It is only after they have.become 10 fiamly estabitshed that it is next to impossible to check the attack that they become noticeable. Moreover, while most of them attack the outer sprface and gain a strong :oothold in the plant Us - suers themselves where they': pannot be reached 'with any spray applied to the exterior. For all these reasona the sprays to be used against plant diseases- rnusta in al- most all eases, be in the nature of pre- ventatives rather than remedies. The germs or spores of these different dis- eases., are satrried through the air or transparted by insects, implements, or othee means from diseased plants to kealthy ones, If, therefore. the surface of young growing plants can be covered With semething which will destkoy the germs lks soon as they alight on the, healthy surfaces then It will be possible lo protect them from attalks.., Both experiments and experience have proved that several chemicals known as fungi- cides has the power of killing plant as - ease germs when the latter come in con- tact •with them. • Apalied to heattlsy plants, therefore, they act as preventa- tives, and the fact that they must be used as preventativea and not as reme- dies is the first thing that the beginner must learn. SPRAY EARLY, OFTEN AND THOROUGHLY. It is very apparent that to be aucceass M in warding off plant diseadeas. by tariasing the work must be begun early enough to get ahead of the diseases. It Must be done so thoroughly that evera gortion of the plant, stems, leavea, rocas, flowers or fruits must be entirely cov- ered and the spray must be repeated often enough to keep the new ararOarth covered and protettea as it datrelops, otherwise there will be some spot like the heel of Achille which is not proteet, ed and will finally prove vulneiable, maklag much of therest of the , work done in vain. - ..•The frequency with which the spraying will- have to be repeated to afford com- plete protection depends on how long the spray that 1.9 being used will last or ,etielt. to the foliage, and upon li-ow rap- idly new growth Is being made. For vegetabfas making rapid growth the spray should be applied every week or ten days to keep the new growth thor- ,, oughly covered. The vesrious••plant diseases beleng to two quite distInct classes. Most of therm such ea the various blights, mil- dews and rust begin locally. at some part of the plant which is infected by bacteria from the outside. There' are some diseases, however, which seem to attack the whole system of the' plant, [rein root to tip. These are called' 'con- stitutional" diseases, and in the major- ity of cases little or nothing can be done against theta. Fortunately these are in the minority. WHAT TO SPRA.Y FOR, AND WITH. While scientifically, every little plant has a 'trouble of its own -and some- times two or thaae-most of the 'plant s diseases may be grouped in a few gen- eral classes, the treatment for which are the same. • The most common of. these are "blight," "mildew," "rots" of various ainds, and "rust." There are, for in- stance, blights which attack potatoes and melons, fruit -rot and ,stem -rot of tomatoes, and rust (or anthracnose) on iseans-to mention but a few of the many. The sante treatment for preven- tion may, however, be used for alr, but is much more successful with some than with Others. In general, blight may- be looked for on potatoes, tomatoes, melons, cuctun- bera and onions. Rust, or "leaf -spot," on beans, tomatoes and celery; and mil- aew •On beans, peas, melons, cucumbers, and lettuce. There are two standard sprays used to prevent all of these fungous diseases .-Bordeau Mixture and "summer" lime sulphur.

This little island in the Persian gulf, has been a Mecca for pearl merchants for over 2,000 years. Arabian. . divers were plumbing the waters of tee gulf when Julius( Ceasat ruled in Rome. Perhape the pearl Cleopatra drank' in "An- thony's honor, was a Bahrein pearl. Some of the finest pearl in the world to -day were first sold in the markets of Bahrein: The natives of the island say that the pearls are raindrops caught in the oester's mouth. The natiee divers wear a peculiar costume resembling a pair of white overalls. The diess is to protect them against the bites of sharks, for these dreaded monsters are supposed to have a distaste for white flesh. The costume is a disguise. To complete his outfit the diver wears a fatam, or clothespin, on his nose and carries basket. The boats push out over the water, prayers are said and the divers • go overboard. Besides the crew, the 'tiny craft carry an extra man to say 'prayers for the divers. They are something of a race of artists, these hunters of pearls, toying their work for its own sake. As a rule they work for wages, and the profits go to the treeler who hires them. • • In the market place the merchants sit by the side of the narrow streets judging the jewels as to their size, color, shape and brilliancy. They carry them about twisted in twill, and thrust in their wide girdles. The va- lue of the gems that pass annually through the Bahrein market is over la million dollars.

'Whehn the climatic conditions are suitable, it fastens to the wheat, and then, to complete the cycle, the parasite returns to the barberry which preserVes it In health during the *winter.

R. and ether linea; during which r looked carefully into crop prospects, I thrak it is safe to conciude that, with the increased acreage under cultivateon, Western Canada this year will pro- duce at least as many bushels of grain as last year, provided, of course, that conditions continue as favorable as they ere at present." This was the etatement made on July 16 by Mr. C. E. McPherson, assistant pessenger traffic manager of the C. P. R. at WinniPeg, while in Montreal on a busi- nees trip. Mr, McPherson said that in some parts of Alberta and Saskatchewan drought and winds have cut into the Possibilities of the harvest very seri- ously, while, in larger districts recent rains: had helped the growing grain along wonderfully, so that where a few weeks ago there was little in sight it now seemed likely there would be, at least fair crops. In Manitoba, which province. had during recent years fallen behind in Wheat produc- tion, Mr, McPherson said the pros- .peats were particularly good, with 'a largely increased area of wheat acre- age„ ,and every proepect of abundent yields. 4 So far as passenger business was concerned, Mr. McPheeson said that the roads in the west had never done better than during the present ye,ar. As to American tourist busiaess, per- ticularly toward the far weat, Mr. McPhereon said it was too early to make any pre,dictions, but the pros - 'islets pointed to at least as good a Season as last year, while the number of visitors, tb the Rocky Mountain resorts wag well up to the average. Mr. McPherson will return to Win- nipeg in a fe,w days.
