What has commonly been known as
''little peaches" may prove disease of
no less Importance than that of yellows.
This disease of the peach has been
known in this section for four or five
years, but Its ravages have only been
marked during the past year or two.
Prof. Taft states that this disease is en-
tirely different from the yellows and
not like the rosette, which does not ex-
ist in this state. The safest way to
treat trees that show this disease is to
give them the "yellows cure"-dig out
and burn, root and branch.-South Ha-
