Black SPOT is Ruin.

p. w. Tonneson, fruit inspector, and
4. A. Brodie, superintendent of the Puy-
alIup experiment station, have just re-
turned from a tour of the western por-
ton OF the county including the fruit
districts of the North bay and Hender
son bay districts These gentlemen have
been investigating the condition of the
fruit trees as to diseases Of the trees and
insect pests,
ave have found less disease III these
districts than in any other part OF the
country" said Inspector Tonneson yes
terday. The black spot is becoming an
alarming adjunct in the line OF diseases
among our fruit trees. 1t 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 well.
'Alany of the orchards in the county
are almost entirely ruined. | have found
two orchards of two or three acres each,
entirely ruined by black spot. The one
about eight years growth. -Four years
ago this orchard was one of the promis-
ing orcharda of the county. The black
spot is becoming quite common in the
valley and trees that looked thrifty are
q sad spectacle now. The black spot APP
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 SER
iously affected the trees but there is no
doubt the black spot is q disease in the
bark and should be created &c such
Upon close examination with mag.
niiying glass spores can plainly be see n
These spores spread readily, and tree
once diseased will soon be the victim o
ruin. We have gathered many speci
mems OF diseased trees and insects OF
our trip and will make further investi
cations along this line. 1t is the inten
ton of Mr., Brodie to carry Oh a series O
experiments in spraying along the lin
of checking and preventing the blac
spot. The Bordeaux mixture seems (
be the only known remedy so far as W
have found, where systematic applics
tien has been made of the lime, gulphu
and salt, and the Bordeaux mixtur,
trees are less diseased and look thriftit
and are less subject to insect pests.
Owe have also found diseases in II
canes of the blackberries of the vale,
Mr.. Brodie is carrying on a series OF e,
periments on these canes at the Pu,
allup station.
