Root knot resembles somewhat the root tubercles of the legl’tunes. This pest causes great losses f to tomatoes under greenhouse condi- j tions. but owing to our winter weather conditions, so far as information nt the experiment station shows, it has not developed in the open to a sufi ficient extent to cause serious loss, ex [ cept in northern Indiana on muck 1 scils. I ■ Whether infested plants that are set I in the field will produce a profitabl ’ crop is not known There is no ex 1 perimental evidence on this point If > healthy plants are available it is be ’be used.

If so. they were able J when set under field conditions to ■ outgrow the disease, as uniformly ' good results were reported from the ’ ”<e of southern nlants during 1919. ’] If plants affected with root knot are • used, stood soil fertilization, cultivi- , tion. and good cultural methods gen- ' erallv will at least give these rlatvs- > the best chance to overcome s>> L i .trouble It is also probable from the i evidence at hand that in ■ lay soils plants are less likely to be seriously | injured The experiment station re. nr at this time advise relative to the results that may be expected from fie use of such plants. We cannot sav that any damage will result but we j feel that the tomato growers and can- 1 ners are entitled to al! information available in order that all mav act in the light of the fullest knowled-c This root knot trouble is caused by a microscopic worm which enters the root from the soil and causes the gall to develone. These worms multiply verv rapidly w ithin the galls.

120W0STHIW l . IK MEM LINE More Than 1.000.000 Face Death Is Message Brought by Miss Dakesian. Imagine a bread line of 120,000 fam--1 ished people waiting for twenty-four hours a day for the dole of food that is the sole barrier between them and death from starvation. That is the situation in Alexandropol, a city in Russian Armenia, according to Miss Hertuine Dakesian. a pretty Armenian , girl, one of the survivors of four years V Mi 11 <BHI MISS HERMINE DAKESIAN. of the horrors of Turkish massacres and deportations. Saved by an American woman, she has come to this country and entered Oberlin College. i With her came fourteen other Anne-1 nian girls In charge of Miss Adelaide , S. Dwight, a Near East Relief worker,' who has been instrumental in helping ' to save hundreds of thousands of their people from death by starvation Miss Dwight, who is not given to exagger- 1 ation and has seen conditions at first 1 hand. says more than a million people are facing death by starvation in Armenia and ‘will perish unless America aids. Herself an eyewitness to the slaughter of hundreds of helpless women I and children by the Turks and a victim of the deportations. Miss Dake- f sian, an unusually pretty girl, says there is untold suffering in Armenia and Syria. She praises the efforts of the Near East Relief, formerly American Committee for Armenian and Syriarr Relief, to save as many of, . these people as possible. At Erivan. the capital of the Armenian republic, one hot meal is given out daily, and by this relief alone the city's death rate has been cut from a thousand daily to an average of twenty. At Alexandra- j pol. where the refugees from Turkish Armenia were driven by thousands, the situation is appalling, Miss Dakesian says. It is to avert these wholesale deaths that Near East Relief is making a nation-wide appeal for funds. BOY SCOUTS IN YOUNG ARMENIA — Strangest Troop of All in Constantinople Being Made Into Good Citizens. American B<>y Scout training Is aiding prominently in the rehabilitation Os hundreds of little Armenian boy refugees from the risk massacres, who have been orc ”U<-d into a scout troop in Constantinople as the solution of one of the most troublesome problems that confronted the Near East Relief workers in that city. Hounded and driten for four years, having seen their [>arents and relatives slaughtered or worse by Turks and Kurds and themselves forced to beg, steal or do almost anything to eke out jhe barest existence, these boys had completely lost their moral sense when they finally found refuge in the Near East Relief orphanges. The boys had been clad in rags for so long that they had forgotten how to take care of clothes. This was a tragedy • when the Near East Relief had need of i every pair of shoes and of every suit of clothes for new boys constantly coming in. Then the boys were organized as Boy Scouts and given their uniforms. They began to be careful of their school clothes as well as of their unffornis. They had been so often hungry they had come to steal without compunction. When they first entered the orphanages they continued to ateal One • boy stole a purse from his American - teacher. For two or three weeks after I he became a Boy Scout he was obviously nneasy. One day he came to her with the purse tn his hand. “I don’t want to give it back,"" he said reluctantly. “But I have to. Fm a Bey Scout now " To form more scout troops to traasform these little unfortunates into good citizens, is one of the reasons why the Near East Relief. 1 Madison avenue.
