Engineers like Mr. Hoover would he the right men. But they would have to reorganize fanning on modern industrial lines. Farmers do not want that. They want to he relieved just as they are. This humble farm er-writcr, who farms and loses money at it in three states 3, 000 miles apart, suggests that the latest farm machinery be rented to tanners, when need ed, at or below cost.

Two rows of trees which had been sprayed regularly were healthy appearing specimens, but two rows which hud not been sprayed were in pom condition. In some cases trees had been pulled and in others many branches had been cut away to prevent the spread of the disease. . The use of roots of Chinese pears was shown to bo of advant age in combating the disease, the birch leaf Variety, having a long Chinese name, being found to have the best blight resisting qualities. Grafting is used to bring about good blight resistance. The French roots are very susceptible to the disease and are the only roots found in valley commercial use. New TyC!
