CO-OPERATIVE experiments
have been conducted in agri-
culture throughout Ontario
annually since 1886. Previous
to the war the number of farmers
conducting these experiments reach, -
ed over 5,000, and in 1918 (the last
year of the war) the number was
slightly over 3,600. Some of the
leading varieties of crops now grown
in general cultivation throughout
Ontario were introduced through tete
medium of the co-operative work,
such, for instance, as the 0.A.C.
No. 23, barley, Marquis spring wheat,

81 Soy beaus, Rye buckwheat, Golden
Ratans sweet corn, Early Amber su-
gar cane, Dwarf Essex rape, Irish
Cobbler potatoes, Yellow Leviathan
mangels, Grimm and Ontario Varie-
gated alfalfa, etc.
The co-operative experiments en-
able practical farmers to obtain ire.
formatialt regarding varieties of Reid
craps, mixtures or grain for grain
and for fodder production, ways in
increasing soil fertility, etc., for their
own particular farms which they can-
not possibly get in any other way.
They furnish hundreds and even
thousands of object lessons annually,
which form centres of interesting
study along the lines of progressive
agriculture. They enable farmers to
get a. supply of pure seed of the
leading varieties of field crops which
rapidly increase in quantity and
which furnish seed for sowing and
planting in large areas and for sell-
ing at good prices. The wbole work
leads to a substantial increase in
farm profits and to a steady advance
in agricultural education throughout
Ontario.
The plan of the co-operative work
for 1919 is printed in circular form
and has already been sent to all the
successful co-operative experimenters
of the past few years. Other lnter-
ested farmers could secure a copy of
the circular by applying to the Depart-
ment of Field Husbandry, Agricul-
tural College, Guelph, Ontarlo.—Dr.
C, A. Zavitz, Ontario Agricultural
College, Guelph.
Care of Cow and Young Calf,
Kindness and cleanliness are the
two chief ,points to observe in caring
for dairy stock.
About a week before the young
calf is expected, the cow should be
placed in a clean, well -bedded, com-
fortable box -stall. The practice of
compelling cows to give birth to their
calves, tied in the row, is cruelty for
the cows, dangerous for the calf, and
bad for the' whole held. Privacy and
quietness should be the rule at this
time.
The cow should be allowed to lick
the calf dry, and should be kept tied
until the after -birth is removed. The
two may be left together for one to
three days. Some remove the calf
at once, but it it is to be reared, it
should be left with the dam for a
short time, in order to give the young
animal a good start. Leaving row
and calf together for a :lay or two
also tends to remove inflammation
from tete udder of the cow.
If .necessary the cow's udder should
be bathed with warm water or some
`erw of liniment such as camphor-
ate] oil, or equal parts of turpentine
tnr1 vinegar and an egg in one quart
it' the mixture.
lit case the cow an: calf are all
•lata, they utay be s. r Crated in not
;'ver three days, and the cow be re-
ur ncd to her regular stall. The calf
:iaay be allowed to remain in the box-
* •11, if not needed for another cow,
be placed in the nursery along
'ith other calves, as this will cause
to forget its "mammy" more quick-
ie it should receive its mother's
.ilk for a week, whole milk for two
r three weeks, then skim milk and
slier suitable feeds for six months,
:d be kept dry and clean at all
inns. --Prof. H. B. Dean, Ontario

of Vegetables.

ed—How the Disease spreads—
Its Symptoms and Remedy --
Great Care Necessary During
Harvest and Storing.
(Contributed by Ontario Department er
Agriculture, Toronto.)
BACTF1iIAL soft rot is a dis-
ease liable to attack flesh)*
vegetables and bowers, parti-
eularly carrots, cauliflower,
turnips, celery, tomatoes,, iris and
cola lily, and in a lesser degree
onions, asparagus, salsify, sugar bcet
and mangel. Occasionally the dee
ease results in heavy losses to the
grower of these crops.
General Appearance of the Disease.
As the natue signifies, the disease
results in a soft, wet rot of the plant
attacked. The rotted portion of the
Want is darker in color than tke rest
of the plant. The color of the dis-
eased part p v arles trona a light, red-
dieh or greenish brown to a very
dark brown.
Cause of the Disease,
The disease is due to the action of
a certain species of bacillus known
generally as the vegetable soft rot
bacillus. This is a very minute or-
ganisnr about 1-10,00U of en incs.
long and 1-:50,000 of an inch thick.
but when it gets into the vegetable
tissue through a wound made by the
hoe or cultivator or ins=ect bite, It
feeds on the plant juice and multi-
plies rapidly and as it develops it
produces an enzyme, which digests
or softens the firm tissue, bre-silt/it-;
it down into a soft, pulpy, strong -
smelling mass, which is easily de-
tected. In this soft -rotted tissue the
bacilli will be present in millions.
In cauliflower the disease is found
more often in the flower than in the
leaves or stem; the latter parts, how-
ever, are also subject to attack.
In turnip, the disease most fre-
quently enters at or near the crown,
through caterpillar or slug attack, or
through injuries received during hoe-
ing or cultivation. It softens or rots
the leaf petioles at their base, caus-
ing them to fall over, and spread:
slowly in dry weather, rapidly in wet
weather, through the tissue of the
root, inducing a brown -colored soft
cot, with strong odor.
In carrot the disease enters and
develops in much the same way as
described for the turnip. It is more
apt to spread rapidly through a crop
that is thickly sown and not well
thinned out, the shade produced by
the heavy tops making ideal con-
ditions by keeping the ground moist:
for the development of the disease
when once it gains entrance, and har-
boring slugs and caterpillars that
spread the disease. Carrots which
crack beneath the ground are liable
to be attacked by the disease, the
soft rot bacillus gaining entrance to
the tissues through the cracked
surface,
In celery the disease is not very
common, but when present is most
often found starting at or near the
tops of the young growth.
In tomatoes the bacterial soft rot
is very common during wet seasons.
It is found most frequently in the
fruits that are in contact with the
soil alter they have commenced to
ripen. The bacillus will not readily
penetrate through the unbroken skin
of the tomato. But when a tomato
is resting on the damp earth, that
part of the skin in contact with the
soil is frequently weakened, thus pro
viding a means of access to the ba-
cillus. This, however, is not the only
means whereby the disease enters the
fruit. Slugs are very partial to toma-
toes just ripening. In -their attack
on the fruit they eat through the
skin, leaving the interior flesh ex-
posed. This exposed surface is an
ideat_mgdium for the 1)ncillee of soft
rot to develop in. The writer has
found many tomatoes, particularly in
wet seasons, when slugs are plenti-
ful, that have contracted the disease
in this way.
Eradication and Control of Disease.
Spraying with fungicides, which is
so effective in controlling the fung-
ous diseases of plants, is of no avail
with bacterial diseases, as the bac-
teria which cause the disease a,ct
in the interior ,tissue rather than on
the surface; hence the spray will not
reach them.
Spraying with insecticides Is help-
ful indirectly, as it tends to keep
in check the insects, slugs, cater-
pillars, etc., which are one of the
most common means" of spreading
bacterial diseases from one plant to
another.
As a rule, the best method to adopt
in dealing with a plant infected with
bacterial disease is to carefully re-
move and burn it. Insects, garden
tools, etc., coming, in contact with
it will spread the disease to the
plants with which they come in con-
tact slater.
Therefore, In order to prevent
bosses from bacterial sott rot of
planta, remove and burn atfeeted
plants; or parts of plants, as soon as
observed; be careful during cultiva-
tion not to wound plants, and keep
caterpillars, slugs and biting insects
in check. Affected plants shoed('
newer be put on the compost heap
or manure pile.
Harvesting mod. Storing.
When harvesting and storing tut=
nips, cauliflower; cabbage, celery,
tomatoes, or other vegetables from
crops in which the `'disease has lieeil
present, great care should be taken
not to include' any specimen that
;shows the . slightest appearance of
the disease, or to smear the healthy
specimen with -the soft, rotted parte
of diseased specimens. If these pre
e'autions.are neglected,` the disease is'
slia'hle .te :establish itself and spread
more or less rapidly through the en-
tire crop stared. -.--D. H. Jones, B.S.A.
