Ceil Building Materia! Is Fouttd tft Foliage. In trrnwlng flowers, shade trees, vegetables or major field crops, the grower's chief task is to Cooperate with Nature In producing a full measure of foliage. Plants grow Solely by the cell- hulldtng manufactured in the leaves. When destructive insects, diseases, drought, deficient plant foods or frfhlty cultural methods reduce the number of leaves or otherwi. impair their vigor, the particular plant suffers proportionately.

Potatoes serve as an excellent example. Tubers are produced from the materials manufactured in the leaves, a delicate but efficient process hy which elements from the soil, moisture and the main properties taken from the air are acted upon by the sun's rays to form starch other required materials to build the stems, foliage, roots and Therefore gardener's most Important task Is to protect the potato plant's leaves until ten plant ond its edible crop are fully and naturally matured. Should Insests, Wight, hopperburn or other agencies destroy a portion of the foliage or weaken the leaves, the crop suffers directly. A shade tree more definitely impresses the grower with this duty, due to the fact that the tree's value Is measured chiefly by the luxuriance and beauty of the foliage. The rose grower often sees choice plants fall to produce their promised wealth of flowers when black-spot, mildew, rust or Insects destroy or seriously damage the priceless foliage.

Diseases and predacious insects are destroying annually in this country ornamental and food plants worth opproxlmately one-third the gross value of our entire mam- mouth farm output each year. Most of this alarming damage Is caused by loss of plant foliage. Before man entered on the scene Nature had established a workable balance by which she kept the destructive and productive forces fairly even. Birds were her police force, feeding on insects; survival of the strongest plants helped hold plant diseases In check. But civilization has widely destroyed bird life and society has not yet realized the necessity of restoring this volunteer army to protect the nation's plants.

Therefore, man has been compelled to resort to artificial tactics to combat plant enemies, the use of Insecticides. As we enter another year of garden and farm activities, too much emphasis cannot be placed on the vital Importance of better control of plant diseases and insects. Neglect soon leads to heavy losses. In vlte birds to nest and rear their young near the home; protect their nests from strap hy bonding tree trunks with smooth roofing metal; furnish them attractive homes to prolong and enhance their visit Inspect flowers, shade trees, vegetables and fruit trees frequently for Insect Infestation and disease outbreaks. Do not experiement with "hear-say" remedies, but use one of the reliable established methods of eradication and extermination.

When in doubt, write your agricultural editor for advice. His practical assistance will help you save many valuable plants. Get the profitable habit of protecting plant foliage. 11 Large Annual Toll In U. S.

Is Taken By Weeds The history of agriculture Is largely a record of man's battle against droughts and weeds. Of course, droughts are not annual experiences In humid regions; weeds abound wherever civilized man has attempted to grow food, clothing and shelter from the soil. It hAS been estimated that weeds exact an annual toil In the United States amounting to half the total value of all agricultural crops and products. But whether this estimate IS too large or small, combating weeds one of the most arduous tasks the flower grower, vegetable gardener and farmer encounters. Weeds are divided Into two main groups perennials and annuals.

The former propagate from matured seed and also from growths sent up by the roots from year year; annual weeds, like most annual vegetables and flowers, grow only from seed, the entire dying at the end of each growing season. The habits of these two groups, when studied closely, Suggest the most effective methods of combat. First, weeds should be prevented from maturing their seed crops. This requires frequent cutting. But the task Is not a simple one.

While the gardener, for example, may keep all weeds removed from his plot, a few neglected weeds growing along the fence row, In a neglected nook or In a nearby vacant lot will pollute his garden the next year as fully as though he lazily allowed them to over-run his garden. Therefore, ultimate solution of hte weed problem Is a community matter. Prevention of maturing teed wii- reduce annual weeds, but nfal must nave additional attention. Not only group be prevented from f4peninf their seed, but thi portions must be removed of starved out. Frequent cutting the top growth eventually kills most perennial Weeds.

Oft ifcrgO areas, such entire fields, ttiost weeds and especially the can he largely eradicated by ing what are called "choke" soybeans, clover, wheat, Sudan grass, rape and other crops that develop heavy follagS. and thereby prevent surviving. Boil improvement by plowing these crops uflder In latS" summer can often be coupled weed control Weeds In lawns and other can be most effectively combated by digging them out by or by frequent cutting. Fof ample, dandelions, those invaders of almost an CaB" be removed by using a slender Spftde or other tool to cut the taproot welt, below the ground level. Pullinif.

and burning weeds from flower and. vegetable plots are always in order, Much patience and labor be Invested In warfare on One to two ounces of sodium chlorate to one gallon of water may used kill weeds on small areas. Hwever, most chemical weed killers wilt likewise kill or at least temporarily injure grass and other desirable plants. Under an age- old curse, man must combine industry with persistence to keep- weeds sufficiently under control permit cultivated plants to win this competitive struggle.
