MONDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1915 studyng the sugar beet leaf disease The past year the potato diseases of northern Colorado were observed in detail and comparable cultural work field study, etc., was carried on at Waupaca. Wis. The summer was dt vlded, two to three weeks being spent alternately in each place. "The whole system of agriculture depends upon a knowledge of condi tions under which plant diseases de velop. Germs and spores are always in the air, and whenever conditions are favorable for their development. disease will occur. Then means must be taken to dispose of the germs pres ent and change the conditions through crop isolation or treatment of the soil with proper fertilizer, containing the needed chemical constituents and give it the right kind of cultivation to meet the conditions." Miss Poole is at her home in the city on her vacation and will return to Washington the early part of next week. Are you watching the development work on the new portion of the campus with any degree of interest ? GOOD NEW MOVE Will you be one of the many students to find your way to the athletic field Wednesday afternoon to aid in the working up of a real Cornhusker spirit? You should be there without a special invi tation. It is certain that the cadets will be there, for there will be no regular drill that evening. They will fall in without uniforms and march to the field, where they will co-operate with the other stu dents there assembled to learn the songs and yells of old Nebraska. If all departments in the university would co-operate as is the mili tary department, the success of the movement would be assurred. The band will be there, the players will be there; will you? The special football edition of the Utah Chronicle is a blood-red sheet. Just the same, it can be said to be a "yellow journal." GOOD MOVE Not because we are affiliated with the University Commercial club; but because of the extensive favorable comment, do we com mend the recent resolution passed by that organization. Their uni versity is held in a higher light than is their organization, which is more than some organizations can openly argue. FACTORS IN STUDY OF PLANT PATHOLOGY MISS POOLE, FORMER FACULTY MEMBER, ADDRESSES CLUB AGRICULTURE AND PATHOLOGY Miss Poole at Present Is Assistant Pathologist in the Bureau of Plant Industry at Washing ton, D. C. Miss Venus Poole, a former member of the University faculty and at pres ent assistant pathologist in the Bu reau of Plant Industry at Washington, D. C, said in a talk before the Fac ulty Women's club "that a few years ago the study of plant diseases or plant pathology, was conceived chiefly with the causal organism. When a certain fungus or bacteria ras re peatedly Isolated from wilted plant tissue it was usually held accountable for the disease. Much of the study was confined to this region of inves tigation, only gradually it became ap parent to investigators that while such organisms might produce a cer tain plant disease at times, many GREEK LETTER FRATERNITY AND SORORITY PINS 15.00 to 57.00 Plain $9.00 to $12.00 Pearl Set $12.00 to $75.00 Diamond Set 14k Handmade HALLETT UNI JEWELER Est 1871 1143 O times no disease developed, although the causal organism was present. It thus became apparent that the en vironmental factors must govern the conditions which occurred, in order that the host plant might be suscep tible. The new plant pathology then deals with the relations of environ ment to plant growth. Such environ ment includes agricultural practices, as fall plowing, rotation, siloing, etc., soil factors, as temperature and mois ture content, also the humidity and temperature of the air. Although many of these factors cannot be con trolled by man, yet a study of them may point out some facts, which would lead to control." During 1912-13, Miss Poole was sent out to study the leaf-spot disease of the sugar beet at Rock Ford, Colo. "It was found that the removal of the sugar beet tops from the fields which were infected with the leaf-spot dis ease, offered something of a control of the disease. When the beet top re moval was followed by fall plowing, better control waB secured. When there was rotation together with field isolation, that is a separation of one beet field from another, for a distance of at least 100 yards, almost a com plete control appeared. In this work about 1,000 acres of sugar beets were studied throughout the growing sea sons. "The study of the potato diseases of Colorado, which have been the sub ject for Investigation during the sum mer just past has again indicated the necessity for a concise and detailed correlation between the environments, factors and disease symptoms.
