well-Cultivated Orchards.

Well-Cultivated Orchards.
CONDENSED from Farmers Review Steno-
graphic Report Of Illinois State Horti-
cultural Convention.)
Professor Burrill.-I had the pleas
ure Of trip through Michigan on a
bicycle this last season, taking in the
best fruit regions of the state. I have
never seen such thorough cultivation
of orchards as saw in Michigan. This
was especially the case with the or
chard of Mr.. Morrill, at Benton Harbor.
I do not believe that they have the
trouble keeping down weeds that we
have in Illinois. The land is sandy
and seems to keep clean easier, but
they do keep their grounds clean and
in excellent order. The fruit crop
there this year was quite good; but
they do not do everything just right,
for l saw thousands on thousands OF
boxes of worthless peaches that were
picked green and sent to market early
to spoil the market when the fruit got
ripe. They do not seem to have any
compunctions of conscience in putting
bad peaches in the bottom of the
baskets with few good peaches on
top. The thoughtful ones among them
said that these green peaches were a
curse to the industry. 1t is a wonder
that Michigan peaches have any name
at all, but they do seem to keep 1t up
with better fruit. Men like Morrill,
are the salvation of their reputation.
The leaf curl this year in Michigan
was exceedingly bad, and especially so
on the Elberta. They have found out
that the leaf curl can be controlled by
proper spraying, and 1 think that
spraying for the leaf curl will be
generally done. The disease called
Little Peaches" is also present there.
It is very peculiar disease. was
surprised to find SO much of the peach
yellows in Michigan, as it is practically
unknown in Illinois. In Michigan It
is widespread.
Q.-What is the disease called Little
Peaches?
Prof Burrill.-It is a disease that
prevents the development of the
peaches; hence the name.
Q.-What is Peach Yellows?
Prof Burrill.-It is we'll known
disease, but the cause of 1t has not
been found out. The tree at first shows
a premature ripening Of the fruit. The
peaches have red spots on them and
these penetrate to the stone. The fol-
lowing year the twigs grow out very
slender and the leaves get yellow. It
takes three or four years for the trees
to die. The disease is contagious. II
we take a bud from a diseased tree and
insert it into healthy tree the latter
will take the disease and die. At the
Champaign station we made some ex-
periments with the yellows. We
planted young trees four feet apart.
and inoculated every other one. The
inoculated trees took the disease, but
the other trees did not, though they
stood there for five years. Thus while
it does not seem to spread from tree
to tree in Illinois, in Michigan it GER
tainly does. They have a state law
in Michigan that is supposed to stamp
out the disease, but the disease remains
there all the same.
Q.-What is the Rosette?
Prof. Burrill.-It is much like the
yellows, but is not the same. The
leaves grow together like a rosette.

Geo B. Wright Was Restored Health and Makes Cen
erous Offer to Every Sufferer Frcm Lost Manhood

case to every reader of The Times who IS
suffering today All who will write him
letter asking for copy of the prescription
will receive it by return mail free of any
charge whatever.
Mr.. Wright says no one can appreciate
the horrors of lost manhood except he has
suffered them. No one can help such SUI
ferers unless he knows cure and has him
self been restored to full manhood. Mr.
Wright's case was an extreme case He
suffered for many years He saw his physi-
cal powers go from him as the result Of in
sidious disease until he was reduced to a
condition of senility, and the best doctors
in the country gave him up to die.
He asserts that his ten years suffering,
both mentally and physically, was turned
TO unbounded Joy in a single night through
a rare combination of medicines that liter
ally made him young again. 1t is the pre-
scription of this discovery that his enthu-
siasm leads him 10 offer free TO any man,
young or old, who feels that his animation
or the fire OF ambition has left him and
needs something that will not only brace
him up and enable him to be prepared for
any undertaking which may present itself,
but will restore the parts to their original
size and vigor. rssk
There is no question but what in his in
dividual case the results were just as de-
scribed and ii seems quite probable that
any man who believes himself to be weak
may profit by sending for this free pre-
scription. Many people wonder how he can
afford 10 send this prescription free, but it
costs him little to do so. and he feels a
philanthropic interest in giving weak men
an opportunity to cure themselves.

scription will be promptly and privately
