NEWS NOTES. 

 F. C. Bartels, for many years con- 

 nected with the Gasser Co., of Cleve- 

 land. 0., has started in business for 

 himself at North Olmsted and will 

 make a specialty of growing carna- 

 tions for the Cleveland market. 



The "black rot" and the gall fly are 

 making havoc with the violet plants 

 at Rhinebeck. Some growers have 

 already lost half or three-quarters of 

 their entire stock through the black 

 rot, for which they seem to have no 

 remedy. It will probably drive some 

 of the least capable growers out of the 

 business. 



On the morning of August 3d a fire 

 broke out in one of the barns belong- 

 ing to John Breitmeyer's Sons at Mt. 

 Clemens, Mich., and gained such head- 

 way before it was discovered that it 

 was impossible to save anything of 

 value. Four horses were burned to 

 death. At present writing the origin 

 of the fire is unknown. 



An effort is being made to intro- 

 duce agriculture and forestry in all 

 normal schools of the State of Maine, 

 a start having been made at the Cas- 

 tine and Gorham schools. Small tree 

 nurseries are to be established at each 

 nf the iiormr.l schools. The Maine 

 t^niversity will offer reading courses 

 snd correspondcnec courses in agri- 

 ' I'ltiiri- and allied topics.
