FRUIT-GROWING A SCIENCE.
At the night session interesting papers
were read on number of timely topics
Judge Edward Stake, of Hagerstown, read
paper on Fruit Culture" He said In
part: 1.-THE development of taste and in
crease of knowledge has enlarged this art
into science. Perhaps there may be an.
occasional 'hayseed' among us who thinks
he is fruit-grower by force of habit or by
sort of instinct or that the operations in,
the orchard proceed by sort of spontaneous
evolution and who scouts the idea of scien-
tiflc methods of work. But such a one, il
successful, caunot know how much he owes
to the brain work OF others.
The immense and increasing demand
in this country insures the perpetuity Of
the fruit business and we will tiul strong.
and steady market for years to come. No
section of the country is more favorably
situated for the growth OF fruit than here
Aside from the essentials of soil and climate
we have exceptional advantages in the way
of quick and cheap transportation to close
and extensive market. The cultivation Of
fruit will be one day considered PROBES
sion and will be pursued like the other
professions"
Other papers illustrated with stersopti-
con views were read by Prof. M. b. White,
Of the United States Department Of Agri-
culture, on the "Blights Affecting Or
ohards and Nursery Trees,' and by Dr.
L. F. Smith, Of the same department, on
"Yellows a Deadly Enemy to Peach
Trees.'
State Senator Westcott also made short
address.

DEADLY BLIGHTS.
Maryland FRUIT-GROWERSAS ASK
FOR LEGISLATION.
Fire and the Axe Said to Be the Only
Successful M thod of Stamping Out
the Pests and Drastic Legis-
latiOn Is Asked.

latiOn Is Asked.
One Of the important features of the
recent meeting of fruit-growers of the State
in Baltimore, was discussion Of the San
jose scale, which recently made its appear
ance in Maryland orchards and has already
caused much damage to fruit trees. In
taking the chair, Mr.. Charles T. Biggs, of
Washington county, who was elected per-
manent chairman, said that while he is no
alarmist he felt that the living of the hor-
ticulturst was at stake on account Of the
ravages of the San Jose scale. Up to few
years ago the horticulturists of Maryland
felt that they were safe from its blighting
influence, but now are confronted with a
condition that means greater damage than
any one other thing.
Within the past ten years from one and
half to two millions OF fruit trees have
been planted in Western Maryland that
are now threatened with determination by
the dreaded scale. ave foresaw the con-
dition two years ago, d" said Mr.. Davis, land
bill was submitted to the Legislature
which would have operated to check the
growth of the scale, il it did not exter-
inmate it. The bill failed to pass Had
it become law then $1,000 would have
done more good than S., 900 will do now"
NURSERY INTERESTS LARGE.
Prof. w. G. johnson, State entomolo.
gist, said that the nursery interests of the
State are far greater than even the nursery
men Of the State are aware. There are
thirty-nine nurseries, having more than
%, 900, 900 trees and plants. No statistics
Of orchards are available, but it is known
that on many farms from 10000 to
$4,000 peach trees have been killed on
account of the San Jose scale.
In giving history of the San Jose scale
Professor johnson said the scale appeared
in the Eastern part of the United States in
1887 or 1888, but it was not until 1893
that the fact was discovered and reported
to scientific men. 1t is now known to be
established in % States. In Maryland,
Professor johnson located the pest in II
counties Of the 90. These represent A;
localities and "a orchards in which al,
growing l., 672, 44O trees. In these orchard,
SO, 900 trees are infected and $4,000 {
them have been killed within the past tw,
or three years leaving, in the heart of thes,
orchards, over 10000 infected trees still
living to spread the contagion.
One orchard of %, 900 trees planted ST,
years ago, and owned by Mr.. George Nc
Cav, of Baltimore, has been ruined by thu
pest. Professor johnson introduced ;
stereopticon slide showing view of thi,
orchard in midsummer, with not single
leaf to be seen. In the vicinity Of Sharps
burg, he said, an entire orchard of 10000
trees had been killed.
