Four Methods of Attack Are Used to Keep Plants Free From Disease
Thl* Is (he fifth of sis articles 01 decorative gardening. In line with the preceding scries on vegetable gardening. BY DR. R. P. WHITE Research Specialist In Diseases of Ornamentals, New Jersey Agricultural F.xperment Station, and Associate Professor of Plant Pathology, Rutgers University. 'T'O obtain the best possible resuits with your plants, you should learn how to control certain diseases which may menace the health of your garden. All plant disease control procedures are based on the four fundamental principles of ex-
elusion, eradication, protection, and immunization. Excl u si o n is practiced p r imarily by governmental units. Perhaps its most striking use is in the complicated system of internati o n a 1. domestic and interstate quarantines. This system of prohibiting the free mo vem en t of

plants in commerce is practiced to prevent plant pests from entering regions where they are not know to exist. Every gardener practices the second principle, eradication. It merely means the pruning out or uprooting of diseased plants and parts to eliminate sources of spreading disease-producing fungi md bacteria. tt tt tt “■pvAMPING-OFF,” a disease confined to young seedlings and one which has severely damaged many gardens, may be caused by several soil-inhabiting fungi. Under conditions of cloudy, warm weather, these fungi frequently destroy entire flats of seedlings by rotting the stems at the soil level so that the seedlings fall over. No seedlings are immune to the attacks of the fungi, which may be controlled effectively through eradication. Some gardeners bake the soil in the kitchen oven. This process is effective, but the soil should not be allowed to bake dry. others drench the soil in the seedling flats with boiling water and then allow it to dry before using. tt tt tt RECENTLY, several formaldehyde dusts have been developed for the control of damping-off, the principle involved being the absorption of formalin gas by some powdered material. This powdered material then is mixed with the soil in the flat. The seed is sown, well-watered, and results awaited. Protection, the third principle, in-

volves the use of sprays and dusts, which, when applied to plant foliage, form a protective coating over the tissues. These sprays and dusts kill the germinating spore before it has opportunity to cause infection. The gardener who adopts the final principle, immunization, grows resistant or immune varieties whenever possible. By means of selection and breeding, there are available aster varieties resistant to wilt, and snapdragons resistant to rust. Other ornamental and vegetable varieties have been developed for disease resistance and should be grown by the amateur in preference to disease-susceptible varieties.

NEGROES STUDY BY LAMPLIGHT IN WPACLASS Mimeographed Paper Brings Funds to Purchase School Supplies. Nestled in the hills of Gibson County, on a short road near the town of Patoka, is a small white church. Every night a group of between 10 and 20 persons gathers there, by the light of coal oil lamps, and learns to spell out simple tvords. It is a literacy class conducted by the emergency education division of the Works Progress Administration for Negroes of the community. The teacher, a slim young girl not half the size or age of most of her pupils, is a graduate of one of the state's normal schools. There are 20 in the class, their ages ranging from 24 to 87. Most of them have had no schooling, others just elementary school training. They study English, arithmetic, reading, writing and spelling. For recreation, there is group singing and games. Circulation Is 110 The church is more than a classroom. It is an editorial office as well. Every week a paper, The Patoka Adult Tribune, is published by the class. The teacher is editor-in-chief, business manager and publisher. Copy is written by members of the class and by interested subscribers, and the mimeographing is done by the teacher. The Tribune has a circulation of 110. It is distributed all over Gibson County, and even has two subscribers in Chicago. It sells for 3 cents a copy and 10 cents a month. The money obtained from the sale of the paper is used to purchase supplies for the schoolroom coal oil, paper and pencils, paste and chalk. The paper contains news of the churches in the county, and personals from Patoka, Princeton, Lyles and Augerville. There are 238 literacy classes being conducted by the WPA throughout Indiana. Ninety-two teachers, formerly on relief rolls, are serving as instructors, and 4000 persons are enrolled in the classes.
Zealots Select Cristos to Suffer ‘Crucifixion’ Candidates for Cherished Honor in Secluded Religious Cult Scourge Selves in Climb Up ‘Calvary.’ By United Press ALBUQUERQUE, N. M., April 10.—Good Friday dawned on New Mexico with followers of the Penitente Brotherhood of religious fanatics resuming their strange torture ceremonies that will culminate tonight in crucifixion” of an “honored” mmber of the cult.
zealots who live a secluded, primitive life in the mountains near here stagegred many miles over rocky terrain to their “Calvary,” scourging themselves in belief the cruelty purges them of sin. As they plodded along, intoning weird incantations, their bare backs were lashed with thorn-studded whips. Many labored under the burden of heavy crosses and wore crowns of cactus thorns pressed into their heads. Others tortured themselves on beds of cactus. Non-members of the cult are not permitted to witness the ceremonies. Penitente guards, armed with rifles, protect the area from invasion by curious. Authorities seemingly are powerless to inteiiere with the barbarous rites, which have been renewed annually for years. Those who reach the summit of “Calvary” become candidates for the “honor” of being “crucified.” A “Cristos” is selected and amid the screaming imprecations of his fellow Penitentes is lashed to a cross with rope. The erremony is little short of a real crucifixion, the “honored one” running the risk of possible death from the cruelty inflicted upon him. When he can no longer bear the torture, he is taken from the cross and honored by the now celebrating group as “Cristos.” Rubber Workers’ Hours Longer WASHINGTON, April 10.—Better business in the rubber industry has not increased employment but has increased working hours, a report by the NRA’s Division of Review said today. face BrokenOuf?"

HOOSIERS FACE PLANTINGJIELAY Late Spring, Excess Moisture Blamed; Three Weeks Behind Last Year. Spring planting will be delayed about two or three weeks due to the late spring qnd .the large amount of moisture remaining in the soil, Horace E. Abbott said today. “Last year farmers were able to pasture their fields of wheat and rye by the first of April. It will be at least three weeks before this can safely be done this year," Mr. Abbott said. Mr. Abbott said it is too early to accurately estimate the damage done to the peach crop and he is recommending that no pruning be done by farmers until a survey is made.
