diseased plants from the field particularly when aphids are present cwhich carry these diseases from plant to plant to convey the diseased plants in some appropriate container in order to prevent aphids feeding on such plants from falliny on healthy ones and infecting them all diseased plants should be removed from the field immediately and destroyed pre ferably by burning one roguing of a field is not sufficient because symptoms vary with different weather conditions and may be visible at one time while entirely absentat another it is there fore necessary to keep a field intended for

greek athletic contest at olympia the first event was always a foot race called the staderace according to science service it was a dash the length of the stadium and was about twice the length of the 100meter dash of the modern olympics i the greeks regarded the stade race as the oldest contest of the olympics and professor walter w hyde of the jjniverslty of pennsylvania who has studied ancient greek athletics found that the stade race was continued throughout the long series of olympiads of ancient greece three other races were usual at the national games of greece although many varieties of foot races were developed from time to time there was the dlaulus or double race that requires the runners to go from one end of the stadium to the other and back again this race corresponded roughly to the quarter mile of medern athletic contests the greeks also had a long race or dolichus probably an outgrowjth of the practice of sending messagesby swift limners this ranged in length from less than a mile to about three miles just as the marathon today is a test of en durance rather thftnfleetness so the long races for the ancient olympiads were for the demonstration of physical
