THE COLBORNE EXPRESS, THURSDAY, APRIL 14th, 1927 APPLE SCAB CONTROL (Experimental Farms Note) From our observations of experimental orchards for the control of apple scab, it would appear that the sprays applied at the time of the delayed dormant and the pink stages in the development of the buds, are the most important. At the delayed dormant stage when about Vi to Vi inch green leaf tissue is exposed, an application of spray material gives protection to the young leaves and the sepals of the developing fruit buds, which are very susceptible to primary infection. It is important to prevent this infection as much as possible because where a heavy infection takes place early in the season it becomes difficult to effectively prevent rapid spread of the disease with subsequent spraying. The pink application is of great importance. Many growers do not realize the loss of fruit which takes place at this time from the infection of the fruit pedicels. From our experience this has been a serious loss in the check plots of our experimental orchards. The important factor here is where possible, depending on weather conditions, to delay the spray until the fruit pedicels have separated and are exposed. This will allow the spray material to give protection and present infection of these susceptible The calyx application, when most cf the petals have fallen, is also an important spray. A spray at this time should largely prevent the sea infection which results in the severe cracking and deforming of the fruit. A spray two weeks later is recommended also and is directed towards further protection against this type cf scab injury. It is essential that sprays for scab control should be applied before periods of prolonged rainfall and not after. The severity of attacks of scab depends on rainfall and the best results are obtained where the applications are made according to the stages of development and the probability of rainfall. C. C. Chamberlain, Dominion Laboratory of Plant Pathology, St. Catharines, Ontario. Since the discovery of vitamins there has been a campaign to push sales of vegetables that contain t valuable food constituents. Lettuce cabbage and tomatoes are particularly valuable for promoting health and growth. Many people whose preference Is for pies and puddings are adding a few vegetables to the daily n with the expectation that their bodies will be benefitted. And now comes professor of chemistry who says that human beings should display horse flense and eat more horse food--alfalfa He bases his statement on the res of analysis which sh"": aiialfa ti richer than Vegetables in vitamins --and 7;5n. It is more than probabl. that men will in this case show on; of the characteristics of the horse and "shy" at the appearance of such a strange dish on the table. Nutrition experts are pretty well agreed that vegetables are the kevnote to successful nutrition and with fruit, bread, dairy products and meat we have all that is required for the body. If the animals are fed on alfalfa then the milk should furnish the needful vitamins. With so many discoveries and changes in habits, it is, however, within the range of possiblities that some one will devise a delicious alfalfa salad and make it popular by offering it at a fancy price in fashionable restaurants, Report that the United Church of Canada has 434 candidates for the ministry at college was reported to the Church Board by the secretary, Rev.

CERTAIN TUBER BORNE DISEASES WHICH SHOULD BE ELIMINATED FROM SEED POTATOES INTENDED ' FOR APPROACHING SEASON'S PLANTING (Experimental Farms Note) Severe and careful grading of potatoes intended for seed and the discarding of all abnormal tubers during cutting operations is not only i mendable, but absolutely essential, if maximum return from the crop i be expected. It is extremely fortunate that the majority of diseases which attack the potato, decreasing if not entirely ruining the crop, manifest themselves in the tubers before planting time. Therefore, removal of this source of contamination, insures the crop to a remarkable degree. Before cutting the seed run the stock over a hand rack and remove all tubers that are off-type or under three ounces in weight; all showing scruf and anything showing brown necrotic lesions on the surface or rot of any kind no matter how slight. Even during" careful grading certain diseased tubers will pass by unnoticed, therefore, unless the greatest care is taken the object will be defeated. Upon the completion of judicious grading there is still another step. There are many internal abnormalities such as black heart, stem end browning or internal necrosis which can only be observed after the tub( is cut. Under no circumstances should sets exhibiting these conditions be planted. How many farmers would raise progeny from animals known to be diseased and of inferior type or plant grain harvested from badly smutted fields and expect to be recompensed for their efforts? Then why expect so much from a potato? Show a little foresight. You can't expect to sell all your marketable stock and keep the seconds for your own planting without paying the penalty. As long as a set,' when planted, has an eye that is all some people think is necessary to secure satisfactory returns. The laws of nature cannot be disputed; a man can harvest only what he plants. If only carefully selected seed is used for planting the resulting crop will more than compensate for the labor expended. J. K. Richardson, Dominion Experimental Farm, Frederieton, N. B.
