Disease of Fruit Trees.

There are prospects the present sea-
son Iof our orchards and fruit trees
yielding and giving large returns. In
fact, prospects are brighter on Puget
Sound for the fruit crop on the whole
than ever before, leaving out of &C
count some damage to prune trees by
the November frost in few certain
localities, and which damage was
much less than at one time thought
to have been the case.
Now, here on Puget Sound we have
to contend against fungous diseases
which beyond question are more pro-
ductive of damage to our fruit inter-
ests than the insect pests yet preva-
lent with us, and the time is now at
hand when the most effective work
can be done, if done at all, to keep
them in check. Hardly any of the
different varieties of the apple and the
pear with us are exempt from the de-
structive effect of fungi. In some of
the varieties the bloom is attacked
and is blackened as by an untimely
frost, and if the fruit sets at all it is
quite commonly spotted early in the
season with the dark patches of scab
(fusicladium dendriticum) hindering
its development and growth. This
same fungus also attacks the leaves.
giving them dark smoky appearance.
1t is utterly useless with many kinds
of the apple and pear here to expect
any healthy growth of fruit or tree
without using some preventive meas
ures against the effects of fungus
pests.
Ii the trees have been treated with a
good winter spray, cleaning them from
acc umulations of moss, loose bark,
etc., that are receptacles holding the
destructive fungous germs ready to
spread as soon as the fruit buds open
and the leaves appear, much has al
ready been gained. Spraying with a
solution of sulphate Of copper (blue
stone) is to be principally depended
upon now to hold these diseases in
check. The Bordeaux mixture, made
IN proportion of one pound each of
blue stone and fresh lime to ten gal
Ions OF water, should be used as a
spray, as soon as the bloom begins to
appear, and before the petals open.
AS that time is the most critical period
the trees they should be very thor
oughly sprayed. Another application
should be given after the fruit has set
and has attained some size, but should
spotting of the fruit begin to show no
time should be lost before spraying
again, and also one or two further an
pilcations should be given later during
the season.
Cherry trees also on Puget Sound
need the first two applications of this
spray to prevent the blighting effects
OF fungi taking the blossom and the
newly set fruit of some varieties, as in
some seasons this fruit is showing the
enects also OF this pest. Like applica-
lions OF the Bordeaux mixture in the
early season will prevent in large
measure the "curl leaf" of the peach
tree. Prune and plum orchards are
also more or less affected with the
snot-hole fungus" and should receive
several sprayings during the growing
season OF the same solution.

Receipts for december We're 1851 900 In
Excess Of Expenditures.
WASHINGTON, January 4. The treas
ury balance sheet for December shows
an excess of receipts over expenditures
Of 1851, OO0 This is explained by the
fact that the December disbursements
each year are below the average. The
deficit for the six months just closed Is
$3.50, 205, 739, against S.5,397,7a2 for the
corresponding period Of last year. The
receipts for the six months were, In
round numbers, Sl57,5U 900, and the
disbursements Sl96, 5000 Compared
with the same period Of 1895
there was a falling off in
receipts of slO,OoO,OOO and an
increase in expenditures Of $4,000, O00
The available cash balance is reported
at 1915, 46l, OF which nearly $751;.
900, 900 is gold. One year ago the avail
able balance was Sl77,OO0, 900, OF which
less than $64, 100000 were gold. There
will be an unusually large deficit the
coming month, resulting from in
creased expenditures, which will in
clude large payments on account OF
interest and the disbursement of sew
eral millions In payment Of the ma
tured bonds OF the Pacific railroads.
