Did This Ever Happen To You?
Did your potatoes have brown spots on them with concentric rings on the leaves? It was early blight and can be controlled by spraying with Bordeaux mixture when the plants are six inches high. Repeat two weeks later and again in another two weeks. If your potatoes did not blight until in hot, sultry weather in August or later, it was late blight and is controlled the same as early blight.

Two Modest Bungalows
I'M sure you'll be interested in looking over the plans of a typical little three-room California bungalow. The walls are built of hollow tile, covered with stucco; the roof is flat, with no projecting eaves, except in the rear. In the sunny southwest, snow loads do not have to be considered; however, if you use heavier beams and good, well-cemented composition roofing, a bungalow built like this will be thoroly weatherproof, almost anywhere in the United States.

Along the Garden Path With the Editor
A MONUMENT was dedicated to the original Delicious apple tree near Winterset, Iowa, on August 15. I had the pleasure to visit the old tree on that day and witness the ceremonies attending the dedication of the monument. The tree still stands on the farm formerly owned by Jesse Hiatt, near Peru, a village a few miles south of Winterset. It is being carefully preserved and has a crop of fruit this year.
