PLANT DISEASE CONTROL
The farmer who can prevent or
control crop diseases will have
better yields and more money in
his pocket.
To help him, Plant Pathologist
Charles Logsdon has written an
extension bulletin, “Disease of Ec
onomic Crops.” In bulletin 900
Logsdon describes the crop di
seases, their symptoms, develop
ment and methods of control.
“This is not a complete list of
all diseases in Alaska,” Logsdon
said. The diseases included are
those that are important in Alas
ka, are potentially dangerous or
have been of concern to growers
in the Territory. Listed are di
seases for barley, oats, wheat, for
age, potatoes, cabbage, carrots, cu
cumber, lettuce radishes, tomatoes,
raspberries and strawberries.
Recommendations for plant di
sease control will be changed if
necessary to fit Alaskan problems,
he explained. Suggestions in the
bulletin are based largely upon
information from state experiment
stations. Little work has been
done to date with disease control
research in Alaska.
Lodgsdon is an extension spec
ialist as well as on the staff of the
University of Alaska Agricultural
Experiment Station. His bulletin
is available in all Alaska extension
offices which are located in Anch
orage, Palmer, Fairbanks, Juneau
and Homer.
THE BAR
The Saloon is sometimes called a Bar,
A Bar to Heaven, a door to Hell.
Whoever named it. named it well:
A Bar to manliness and wealth.
A door to want and broken health;
A Bar to honor, pride and fame,
A door to grief and sin and shame;
A Bar to hope, a Bar to prayer,
A door to darkness and despair;
A Bar to honored, useful life,
A door to brawling, senseless strife;
A Bar to all that’s true and brave,
A door to every drunkard’s grave;
A Bar to joys that home imparts,
A door to tears and aching hearts;
A Bar to Heaven, a door to Hell
Whoever named it, named it well.
