A -r Mrs. Eugene Burdick Portland Woman Named Head of Polio Committee Portland Mrs. Eugene Bur dick of Portland has been ap pointed Oregon state advisor on women's activities of the Nation al Foundation for Infantile Pa ralysis, it was anonunced by Basil O'Connor, president of the March of Dimes organization.

CORDY Counfy Extension Agent for Horticulture A leaf blight of sycamore, a bud blight of Chinese elm and a twig blight of euonymus are now in evidence. These three troubles clearly illustrate why we must spray with specific materials for particular diseases at the proper time. Sycamore leaf blight is a fung us disease which enters the new leaves as they develop. This dis ease is especially bad if we have a spell of rainy weather during leaf development. Spraying the new growth several times so that it is covered with a protective fungicide is effective in prevent ing this trouble. Where it is now in evidence, spraying with a neutral copper will not cure what trouble has developed, but it will help to prevent a further spread of the disease. Wide Variation There seems to be a wide var iation in susceptibility to the dis ease by different sycamore trees. Some are badly affected and some are hardly affected at all. It would seem wise in the case of trees which are badly affected each year, to remove the tree and replace it with another. The bud blight on Chinese elms is apparently a result of the cold spell last November. It is widespread in the valley and is causing considerable consterna tion. It is obvious that if this trouble is a result of a freeze last timely . . . ss ss ss ss ss J5 Values to ss ss ss ss s s ss Main and Bartlett Streets ' Phone Relief Corps Holds District Meeting In Grants Pass Grants Pass Mrs. Ethel Griggs, Central Point, was elect ed president of District 5, Women's Relief corps, at a re cent district session here.

This disease in-! fects the plant in the fall, but be- i comes most obvious during the ! winter and early spring. Sprays I at this time would do little if any ! good. j A degree of control can be ob-1 tained by spraying the euonymus with a copper material in early October and again during De cember. This disease is caused by bacteria and the infections occur during the fall and early winter during rainy spells. dramatic . . . SPECIAL PURCHASE 3 DAYS ONLY!
