This attacks all parts of the plant-leaf, stem "and tubers. By those ignorant of the life history of this tiny parasitic plant little- attention is paid to its appearance on the tops, and no alarm is experienced until the potatoes are effected. But being very contagious, it presence on the leaves should become a serious matter, especially when we remember that it spreads with great rapidity. . It" _is._usually indicated by `the tops pre- senting a blotched, brownish, spotted, dead appearance. A close examination of the potatoes showing this will dis- cover innumerable slender stems grow- ing up out of the surface of the leaves and stems of the affected plants.

In the bulletin issuedin November from the Bureau of Industries; we learn that the rot" prevailed through the whole southern belt at the Province. In . many cases one-half to three-fourths of the crop was destroyed, and in some it was not worth digging With such disaster around us, the questions are naturally suggested, What is the cause of the rot! and, What remedies can be adopted? ` IV _- .- _ rn..:_. .'I:_........ 1....` uAnA:usn4-J n pm which V'1`Vhere' is Mental Food for the Broad `Rainer `aswell as the Bread -later-l'i-om the Best Sources.

It consists of many colorless, branching, thread like structures. These penetrate the tissues of the povato and feedupon the juices, so that it soon weakens and begins to _waste away. From the thread-like structures tiny 8 stalks arise, assuming beautiful plant- 1 like forms and bearing upon their ; l I l branches the spores tilready referred to. They live but a short time, but the thread-like structure is perennial and hardy, and from fragments of it new . fungi may arise.
