was presented last night at the Ly-
ceum by the Columbia Opera Company

1t was an evidence that the audience
was we'll pleased. The cast is all good
Miss Carlotta Gilman as Airline, who
took the leading part, was superb. She
won the hearts of the audience by her
charming acting and her excellent
voice. Charles N. Holmes as Thad-

part in an excellent manner. In fact.
the entire troupe acquitted themselves
in accordance with the reputation they
came here with. and should they re-
turn they can feel assured that they
will have 4 crowded house.

PEACH YELLOWS.

State Pathologist Charles e. Townsend,
of the Maryland Agricultural COLLEGE, in
speaking of the peach yellows, says: 1t
has gradually spread over the Easter part
of the United States until practically
every peach growing section of imp"r-
tancc has been visited by it, The real
cause of this disease is not known. hut
every observing peach grower recognizes
lis destructive nature and lis ability 10
Sprca,. from tree 10 tree and from orchard
To orchard. The only satisfactory method
by which an orchard may be made free
from it consists in either gruhbiu~ ont or
cutting down the affected trees and burn
ing them root and branch. In some in
stances growers have mistaken yellow
foliage for the yrllows, hut it must be
remembered, however, that Il perfectly
green tree may have the yciloWs in its
first stages, while 4 yellow tree may he
made yellow because of some other dis
ease, by starvation or action of some in
sect. Trees affected Ivy these troubles
may almost always be cured if treated in
time, and when the trees have been re
stored 10y proper treatment the remedies
used have been mistaken for the cure "f
the yelloWs.
Great progress has been made IN The
the last two years in freeing on, State
from the yclluWs, and if every grower
continues to do his duty The time is not
far distant when the number of trees
affected in this way may he reduced t" 4
minimum. An orchard is not safe as long
as it contains single yellow tree. This
is the best season to detect the disease in
its carly stages, since the premature frat
is now making lis appearance. All surh
trees should he distinctly marked So that
they can be destroyed at an early date,
proyitling time does not admit of their
immediate removal.
LAS soon as the premature fruit Is re
moved the tree often shows no further
sign of yellow until the following season
and in the meantime the disease i, sprrad-
inc if the true is allowed To remain.
Hence no time should hc lost tn destroy
every affected tree as soon a the disease
appears.
