GARDEN YARD ae 
sunken brown spots appear on the pods; and 
when these spots have a tiny pink centre, you 
have seen the spore at work. The best known 
means of fighting it, is to select clean healthy 
seed, carefully hand-picked; go over the field as 
soon as the plants come up and weed out the 
affected ones; spray thoroughly with Bordeaux 
mixture* to which has been added resin soap. 
The compound should be as follows: Bordeaux 
mixture :—1% pounds vitriol, 1 pound lime, 12 
to 15 gallons of water. Resin soap:— 4 pound 
resin, + pound crystallized salsoda, 1 pint water 
(boil until clear brown solution is secured, 
then add to Bordeaux mixture). Apply first 
when the third leaf of the seedlings is opening, 
and repeat at intervals of ten to twelve days or 
after rain has washed the mixture off. 
*Norse.—Unless the under surfaces of the leaves as well as the 
upper surfaces be kept coated with the spray, Bordeaux will be of 
little avail. For the commercial grower of dry beans, spraying is 
not advised.—Samuel Fraser.
