that about half the crop was not worth harvest ing the plants remained all dried up and looked dead little or no green foliage being left during the past two or three weeks although the weather has been wet and unfavorable to blight those apparently dead blighted plants have come to life and the beds are now almost as solid green again as they were in early summer for a year now prof day has been working on a new method of con trolling celery blight and other plan diseases viz by treating them with killing radio waves with a special instrument made for the purpose the first instrument proved too weak and blight got a start on his late celery too on august 25th he be gan using an instrument 2000 times as strong as the first since that the dead patches of early celery have come to life and the blight on his late celery has made no further pro gress he is satisfied that similar results can be obtained with other plant diseases we hope to have a full report ot his researches
