The Massachusetts Agricultural Ex- 

 periment Station says it is noteworthy 

 that last season downy mildew of cucum- 

 bers was reported in greenhouses in the 

 eastern part of the state as early as May 

 first, which was fully a month earlier 

 than this disease usually makes its ap- 

 pearance. It continued to cause serious 

 damage during the entire summer, and 

 was present in some houses long after 

 the first fall frosts. It resulted in total 

 failure of the cucumber crop in some 

 places, and heavy loss resulted every- 

 where, both to indoor and outdoor crops. 

 A similar outbreak of the disease oc- 

 curred in 1913.

but tomato flowers do not appeal to 

 bees so strongly as do cucumbers. To- 

 matoes require a dry, buoyant atmos- 

 phere, and a tapping of the wires or 

 shoots about noon each day, particu- 

 larly when the sun is shining, will dis- 

 seminate the pollen nicely. During 

 spells of dark, sunless weather hand 

 pollination should be practiced. A 

 bunch of cotton wool or a rabbit's tail, 

 tied on the end of a stick, makes an 

 excellent medium with which to ferti- 

 lize the flowers. Eun your plants a 

 trifle dry at the roots, and they will
