tardl.M l( f dt....e dev.-|.. w „. ITomatoes Sensitive To 1 | mc The advantage, of m. Hmefree m«W spray oyer standard hotdeauM mixture. which la a highly alkallae spray, are several aceord. iM 10 the specialists. The tomato, they say. la sensitive tn an alkaline spray, .specially while the plants are .mail, When sprayed with bordeau*. the leavas become harsh and coarse, the plant gives up water faater. may become dwarfed, the flower buds and new shiHits may be killed, and the platita often shed many of their blossoms. As a result, while spraying with bordraus may control disease, thia Is often accomplished at the cost of reduced yield. Thu lime-tree Sprays under test forth- past five years appear to give very nearly «» good disease control without Injuring the plants and reducing the yields. Delayed spraying of tomatoes was tried out hi tour commercial plantings last year with promising results. This would mean no spraymg in blight-free years and a saving in other seasons as a delayed spray program would mean fewer applications than an all-season program. Where tomatoes have haeu

lit would be well to incorporate into the upper layer of soil, two to tour inches of thoroughly d»-ayc<l cum- , post or humus. This material should be thoroughly disintegrated, or it '.may interfere with the normal firowth of your plants. If you saved awn sweepings, leaves and the like, ' j the past few years, placing them in that out-of-the-way corner, you I have a veritable "gold mine", for a . basic principle of the mod. m care I of A* living soil ia to maintain the . organic matter content. j Gardeners should be cautioned to restrain their gardening urge, aisl 1 not work their soil until it is in the 'proper condition. Otherwise, they may du a great deal more harm ithan g-Kst A simple rule that may be followud to determine whether oe not the soil may be worked, is to ball a handful in the palm of the i hand. If, upon releasing the pres'sure of your fingers, the lump just stays together, the soil may be worked without harmful effects. Ju.< how soon ami may be cultivated or spaded in the spring of the year varies with the type and condition of Um- soil. You will find, if your soti is sandy, that it will be workable much sooner than that of your friends which has a high clay content. The happy "medium” between these two is the loamy soil which contains both these constitu'laata, and in addition, a goodly portion of humus. If your soil is extremely clayey, it will tx-nellt by an addition of spent coal ashes or Kind. , in the case of the latter, have them thoroughly hwhed with water to remove any harmful chemicals. Before sowing seeds in your s<di, remove all lumps and atonen, convenient; y done with a rake. Seed beds should be level tor the best remits. Sloping beds aro usually washed away by spring rob s, along with seed, and the completely hal- , weed feruiuer you may km e added.

SMUT FOUND IN WHEAT FIELDS I rum hull Is Native Kind Os Wheat Which Is Truly Resistant Imfsyette, Ind. Jtme 24. Black heads or loose in wheat are <ommon thin year, says Dr. C. T. Gregory, Purdue extension plant pathologist. Some fields hav« been reported as having 2u per coni of the heads destroyed by thia disease and from five to tun per cent la common. This disease spreads while the wheat la in head, but will show no signa of Its presence until next spring at this lime, explains the specialist. It Is carried in the seed and tan be controlled either by using certified wheat seed or treating the seed with hot waler. The only common variety that ia , truly resistant la Trumbull. The I varieties commonly in use in Ind- 1 tana are not as susceptible to the I loose smut as the Rudy and Red I Wave, but they are not by any! means resistant. Dr. Uregory states. I ('.rowers of certified shed wheat or other farmers who may wish to I fret- their wheat of thia disease I should consult with their county agricultural agent and arrange for a hot water treating station. It will be better for several farmers to I treat at some central point than | for each man to do the work at' home, suggests Dr. Uregory. Years of experience in Indiana I i have shown farmers that the hot ; water treatment may do some injury to the seed but not enough to 'materially reduce the yield. In fact. I lit seems that the hot water treatI ment kills the weaker seed but 1 I does not injure the vigorous, strong , i seed, the pathologist states.

plant diseases, says Dr. Huckett. In July and August u second brood may play havoc with potatoes, tomatoes. and egg plants. Fortunately, flea beetles dislike leaf surfaces covered with any for-, eign material, such m sprays or dusts; and if treatments are made before serious injury occurs and if the leaf surfaces are thoroughly coated, the Insects are easily held in check. Since the adults appear suddenly and work fast, it is important to k«*ep close watch on the garden to detect the first signs of invasion Calcium arsenate in bmdeaux mixture is regarded as the | safest and nmal effective spray.
