Savings Clubs
Banking institutions in
thirty-eight States are now
operating New York World’s
Fair 1939 Savings Clubs, ac
cording to a report just made to
Grover A. Whalen, President of
the Fair Corporation.
The popularity of these clubs
arises from the fact that they
enable individuals and families
easily to finance a trip to the
Fair next year through gradual
accumulation of the necessary
funds instead of by single de
1 mand upon-financial resources
. The slogan of the plan is: “Save
Today to See the World of To
morrow.”
Some of the banks which
have instituted the World’s
Fair Savings Clubs are operat
ing them in connection with
Christmas and Vacation Clubs,
these having for long been in
successful existence.
In one of the Southern States,
such Fair clubs have been or
ganized in colleges to aid stu
dents to set aside part of their
allowances to provide means
of visiting the Exposition next
Spring. Banks are also utiliz
ing the plan to encourage sav
ing by school children. ^
Attendance at the Fair is ex
pected to reach 60,000,000, ac
cording to present estimates.

Diseases Are Threat
To Flower Gardens
Plant diseases are a constant threat
to home and commercial flower garden
ers, but'most of them can be avoided
or controlled, said Dr, I.uther Shaw,
extension plant pathologist at State
fcollege.
In roses, for example, the most com
mon diseases are black spot, powdery
mildew, brown canker, stem canker,
cane blight, anthracnose, and cane gall.
To raise disease-free roses, gardeners
need to observe systematic disease con
trol measures.
One of the first steps is to get good
foundation stock. Before purchasing
plants or cuttings, examine the canes
to see whether they are infected with
any of the common canker diseases
Also look for signs of other disease,
and buy only from reliable persons.
Once canker has broken out on a
rose plant, it cannot be cured. Th<
diseased stems can be pruned off th<
plant, but this does not always give
satisfactory control. The leaf diseases
such as black spot can often be con
trolled by spraying with a 4-4-50 Bor
deaux mixture or dusting with sulphur
A new copper fungicide known ai
cuprocide 54 has been placed on the
market for controlling leaf spot dis
eases of roses. This material is inex
pensive and convenient to use.
It Is difficult to outline a spraying
schedule for roses, as weather condi
tions each year must be taken tntc
consideration. The aim is to keep thi
foliage coated with fungicide, and dur
ing rainy seasons more frequent ap
plications are necessary.
Further information about diseases
in other flowers and methods for con
trolling them may be obtained fron

eigh, N. C.
