que4tlon. Iske tue ovluonoe OF perfectly |
competent Investigators on the one side;
such men as Professor Esale Of the |
United States Agricultural Department,
who has been making this disease
special study for years, who has devoted
the past two years to personal invastiga-
tions and experiments In the orchards Of
this Peningula; who had previously studied
the disease in the orchards Of Michigan
and elsewhere; and we ave confronted
with seemingly irrsfutsble evidence that
the disease 10 contagious that IL spreads
from tree to tree; that it is ineurabie
by any known remedy or treatment;
and that the only reliable means of pre-
venting its spread ia the immediate up
roofing and destruction OF diseased trees.
Professor Neals asserts that he has pro.
duced the disease in healthy trees,
by inoculatinE them with buds
from diseased trees; though he
admits that he failed to accomplish this
in D. P. Bsrnard's orchard; failure
which he attributes to his having used
buds from the still healthy side of tree
which had been attacked by yellows on
the other side, and which tree has since
died Of the disease. But this failure Is
only negative proof, and dozen failures
to produce the disease by inoonlation
would hardly weigh against one SUCCESS
full attempt. Again Professor Neale
ssems to have given strong proof
that tho disease is mot in the
soil, by growing healthy trees in
the same ground from which
diseased trees had been removed; and he
fortides his own experiments here with
the assertion that the same thing has
been done extensively in Michigan, where
whole orchards that were dug up because
ofthe yellows have since been suppIanted
by young orchards that show no indica-
professor shows by railroad shipments
and by orcbsri anil crop statistics that
peach culture In New CASTLE county has
bssn practically ruinsd by the spread II
this disease and that it Ia fast making th
orchards OF upper and middle Kent I'M.
profitable. Surely 1t Ia 3 matter
