DEFRA VED HUN MENTALITY

"Today there is nothing that has not beoii des- `

troyed. The tapestries have been hacked to pieces, the pictures silt from corner to corner, the leather and other chaircovcrings have been ripped from their Yrames and all the delicate marquestrle and the ir- replacabls examples of craftmanshlp of past centuries

have been smashed. The legs have been torii off the

talbles and used -ln further work of destruction. There is not a mirror which has not been broken and the

glass and china flung at them lie in fragments before

them.

"Tho costly carpets have been soiled and ripped

and dirt -thrown at the silken paper on the walls. This vent of fury has been carried on to the extent

of smashing nurseries and dolls’ houses. The fashion

in which beds and rooms have been deflled is dililcult of description. it would seem the work of luliatics."

There is no elgn of the disease on the ubsrs. These potatoes lf planted in- variably give rise to s diseased crop with the same symptoms and same yielding capacity. This is the princi- pal way in whlchit-he disease is per- pctuatetd, but it can also spread short distances in the field from affected plants to neighboring healthy ones. The latter look normal the llrst year but the tubers produced -by them may give rise to a crop which is largely diseased.

It also appears clearly from some

tiona iiid ce Leaf Roll in potatoes which .jr e prevl_ouely__healthy. The author has observed in importation: of the a_ajme_etrail\ of potatoes have been made year by year from New Brunswick and Northern Ontario

the llrst year they _ure grown at Guelph but_that`_ _it then' appears and increases rapidly,” as shown -in _the following table: ' '

Leaf non umm of em' elm. so-am of Potatoea After Being Grown:

Another important disease whlchrre- duces the potato crop in Ontario, is Mosiac. lt is recognized by the fact that' t-he leaves are corrugated or puckered all over, and mottled with faint light grcen spots. lt is most prevalent on Green Mountains und is most readily seen during dull, cool weather such as we had in June. Dis- eased plants niay' not be niucli i'edu»_:- ed in size unless the attack is sevcrc. but they are less vigorous and less well able to 'withstand drought and tl-p-burn. The yield is not reduced to the same extent as in Leaf Roll, but it seldom exceeds twoihirds ol tliri normal, The eating or keeping quail ties of the potatoes are not aifecteil and there is no sign by which diseas- ed tiibers may be recognized.

The trouble is spread by the use of

thc seed froiii affected plants as lii_ the case of Leaf -Iloll. It is not known definitely if it spreads in thc field or if -the climatic conditions of Ontario induce it in healthy potatoes, but both may occur. lt certainly often lip-- pears ln a inucli more aggravated form in Ontario than in tlio Maitilme Pro- vlnccs for instance.

The control of Leaf’ Roll, Mosaic and

some similar but less common diseases can ‘be readily deduced from what has been said above. It consists of the periodical introduction of healthy secrl from districts from wlilch Lclif Roll lit least is naturally absent' Such dis- tricts as these may be found in North- ern Ontario and the Maritime Pro- vinces.

Jenny V. writes me, that she is very anxious about the future. The one whose advice the centuries have prov- ed to be safe said, “Take iio (anxious) thought for the morrow.” Anxiety kept up spells unhappiness and gen- erally prevents us from accomplishing what we otherwise could accompllsh.” Fear not for it is your Fathers good pleasure to give you the kingdom." You can depend, it you are living. right to-day, that the best of life is yet to come. The future holds in its hiind nothing but good for those who are doing right today.

“ONE WHO IS SLANDERED:" ln- quires, "What shall I do to counteract ‘ the false reports they are spreading about me " As li rule it ls best to ignore all such reports. If you are living right these evil reports will not in the long run, do you any -harm. li, unfortunately the reponts are true. you had better pay no attention to them in any event, but you can make such reports ot'you in the future to be slanderous.
