Asked whether spraying can control flax rust practically Mr. Goodding said be lias not made a special study of this, method but knows of no practical way of meeting the difficulty. lie thinks that further search may uncover some remedy now unknown, and) that If so the difficulties of ap plication will be successfully met. ' The disease Is not carried on the seed, and. does no injury to the seed direct, , except such as comes from lessened vitality f font heavy attacks of the disease. Such lowered vitality is of course harm ful to the' production of a fiber crop of maximum amount and on- timum quality. ODDS AND .
