It is an encouraging sign of the times that greater attention is 

 being paid not only to what is grown, but also to the manner in 

 which it is grown ; and while Plant Sanitation is being recognised as 

 a necessary study for those who would obtain the best return for their 

 labours, there is also a desire to know the causes that make for disease 

 in order if possible to counteract them. 



In the keen competition that now exists, it is only the best that 

 it will pay to produce, and it is just as necessary to attend to the 

 diseases that threaten our crops as it is to apply the best methods 

 in growing them.
