As a meeting of the Motor club
ihU week it was decided to ordor lum
ber at once for the bleachers which
will bo so far completed by the Natal
duy that they will accommodate 1500
people. Advertising for the big grand
jirix is going on in full swing and
everything is looking rosy for both
stunts. The immediate blessing how
ever was the heavy rain storm which
nettled the track in fine shape. Ex-

will be the fastest oval anywhere in

leaving a (postponed game to be play

! MISTLETOE HURTS TREES
ions where that plant (rows prolific
ally, the standing timher is seriously
harmed thereby.
A'recent study, conducted by the V.
S. Department of Agriculture, of the
Northwest indicates that in many reg
ions this is a serious forest (problem.
The western larch, the western yel
low pine, the lndirepote and the Douir-
las fir suffer the most. Each of these
is attacked by a particular species of
mistletoe which gradually reduces the
leaf surface of the tree and thus
causes a great reduction in nvowth,
nom in neiiriu and in diameter. Ex
cessive mistletoe infection of the low
er branches of the tree may cause the
upper portion of the ennvn to die, giv
ing rise to what is commonly oa'led
staghead or spiketop. Severe infec
tion throughout the entire crown of
ten results in the death of the tree..
Young seedlings from three to six
weeks old may be killed within a com- '
r.arn lively short time after they be-!
come infected. Furthermore, 'tree

fungi anil forest-tree insects. I

results of this study are -,.,)()rtc(l. nl- j
