SHELTON MASON COUNTY, WASHINGTON FRIDAY JUNE 80 r
Black Spot is Ruin.


z. w. Tonneson, fruit inspector, anc
ID. A. Bordie, superintendent of the
Puyallup experiment station, have JUS
returned from II tour of the western
portion of the county including the
fruit districts the North bay and Hen.
derson districts. These gentlemen
have been investigating the condition
of the fruit trees as TO diseases of the
trees and insect pests.
owe bave found less disease in these
districts than in any other part of the
county," said Inspector Tonneson yes
terday. "The black spot is becoming
an alarming adjunct in the line of
diseases among our fruit trees. II is
especially noticeable among the apple
and prune trees, these trees suffering
possibly more than any other varieties,
the pear being subject to the black
spot as we'll.
"Many of the orchards in the coun-
ty are almost entirely ruined. have
found two orchards of two or three
acres each, entirely ruined by black
spot. The one was a young orchard
at Fern Hill of about eight years
growth. Four years ago this orchard
was one of the promising orchards of
the country. The black spot is be-
coming quite common in the valley
and trees that looked thrifty are SAD
spectacle now. The black spot ap-
pears, as the name indicates, on the
trunk or limb of the trees, and is at
first sight an indication of the effect
of frost on the bark In places the
frost has seriously affected the trees,
but there is no doubt the black spot is
a disease in the bark and should be
treated as such.
"Upon close examination with
magnifying glass spores can plainly be
seen. These spores spread readily and
a tree once diseased will soon be the
victim of ruin. We have gathered
many specimens of diseased insects on
our trip and will make further inves-
legations along this line 1t is the in-
tention of Mr.. Brodie to carry on a
series of experiments in spraying along
the line of checking and preventing
the black spot. The Bordeaux mixture
seems to be the only known remedy so
far and we have found, where a sys-
tematic application has beeu made of
the lime, sulphur and salt, and the
Bordeaux mixture, trees are less dis
eased and look thriftier and are less
subject to insect pests.
"We have also found diseases in the
canes of the blackberries of the valley
Mr.. Brodie is carrying on series of ex-
periments on these canes at the Puy-
allup station.
eve find no traces OF woody aphis
in the western part of the country,
and slight trace OF the oyster shell
scale. The insect troubling the trees
mostly now is the green aphis, which
is doing considerable damage to trees
in the valley.
In speaking about the fruit prospects
for the season, Mr.. Tonneson says the
italian prune is an entire failure with
the exception of ia few favored localities
where there will be only a small crop
There will be about one-fourth crop OF
French prunes.
The cherry crop will be small
Pears will be, short, not fourth of a
crop. Strawberries little more than
half crop. Other berries, raspberries
and blackberries, will be about two
thirds of crop.-Tacoma Ledger.

Lindsay j. Elliott, who was born on
March 20, 1888 and departed thi.
life on September 3rd, 1899, aged IL
years, months and IA days. In 1885
he was married to Marcena Stump
and located on Daniels run. Soon
after his marriage he united with the
Sycamore Baptist church, where he
has lived an earnest and consistent
member to his death. The white
winged angel whispered, "thy work
is done" and he fell asleep in the
arms Of Jesus, and his soul assembled
to the God who gave it. He leaves a
wife and three children and host of
friends to mourn his loss, but their
loss is his eternal gain. He has gone
TO dwell in that land from whence no
traveller ever returns. His death re.
moves a land mark from our midst

An Order of Journalists.

A newspaper report from London
says that the Rev. Lach Szyrma, a
devout Episcopalian clergyman, is
seriously agitating the founding of All
order of journalists, which is to be
placed under the special protection of
the Apostle Paul. The clergyman
argues that the press of the day is ex-
erting powerful influence over the
world, and that the formation of so
ciety of newspaper editors and writer's,
with the noble aim of instructing the
nations and of guiding them on the
road of justice and universal brother
hood, cannot fail to prove of incalcula-
Bile benefit to the Christian Church
and humanity. The physicians, says
the Rev. Mr.. Szyrma, have st. Luke
as their patron saint, and as St. Paul
was the best reporter OF ancient times,
and the mighty logician and moraist
of Scripture, he would be the best
mediator for journalists between
heaven and earth. 1t is proposed to
hold an annual reunion of newspaper
workers in the big Cathedral of St.
Paul, where some eminent bishop is
to deliver an annual address, and
where prayers will be offered for the
benefit of the newspaper fraternity.
