APPLE SCAB FUNGUS.
It Is Said to Be One of the Most De-
structfve Pests That Comes
Into Orchards.

q Very few except scientists recog-
nize that apple scab is one of the most
destructive pests that comes into the
orchard of the apple grower. The
codling moth is supposed to be far
more destructive, but such is not the
case. Great precautions are taken
against the said moth, but little or
none against the apple. scab fungus.
When picker takes an apple from
a limb and finds the scab on it he
gives it not another thought, for that
is apparently only blemish. He
imagines that he sees on the apple all
the result there is, and he considers
it not worth investigating. In fact,
this scab does most of it's damage to
the foliage, and what appears on the
apples is merely it's secondary work.
By the work of this fungus the en-
tire tree is weakened and the apple
crop is cut short year after year. In
addition to the fruit being smaller
than it should be the apples fall early.
as the tree is too much weakened
to nourish them sufficiently to in
duce them to hang on. 1t seems that
an apple hangs on just as long as it
is receiving nourishment. When
nourishment is cut off the apple auto
matically detaches itself and falls.
Anything that causes check to this
supply of nourishment leads to the
fall of the apple. The apple scab
fungus, by sapping the strength of the
tree, brings about this result. An
other indication of the presence of the
fungus is the fall of the leaves before
the natural time. This is brought
about in the same way as is the fall
of the apple. The nourishment ceases
going to the leaves and the stem be-
gins to detach itself from the tree.
Thus long before the other trees have
dropped their leaves the tree that is
badly affected by the fungus named
is bare.
When a tree is badly affected it
takes more than one year to bring it
back to normal condition of fruit
fulness. Thus, if tree has the dis
ease this year, the crop next year is
sure to be small, for the reason that
fruit buds are formed more than a
year ahead of the time of their fruit
fulness. If the tree is scabby this
year the buds will be poorly developed
or not developed at all. No matter
how good it's condition next year it
will not, in single season, develop
buds and bear fruits on those buds.
Spraying is the only remedy, and that
must be continued for a number of
years.-Farmers' Review.

EFFECT OF THE TRUSTS
Why an Old CoIored Woman Raised the
Price of FlOv'ers.

The far reaching effects of trusts is
felt more and more every day. Not
only have the com binations gobbled up
all the big industries, but they have
spread the fever abroad until every
occupation is beginning to show their
Influence. A prominent official in one
of the departments ran into this new
phase the other day and has just re-
covered his breath sufficiently to talk
about it.
Once week for years he has pur-
chased flowers from an old colored wo-
man who has her station near the big
Office in which be works. In the Spring
and Summer be buys lilacs and other
homegrown flowers. In the Fall and
early Winter he purchases chrysanthe-
mnms from the aged vender of p0sies.
Hitherto be has been accustomed 10
paying 10 cents bunch for his flowers,
and the sum was always received with
courteous phrase of thanks. On his
usual day last week he met the old col
ored woman and rendered quarter
for small bunch of chrysanthemums.
Instead of receiving Is cents in change
he was given only nickel.
''How is this, auntie ?'' be asked. 81

A Poser.

On some of our trains carriages for
''ladies only" have been placed, says
Tit-Bits.
On one occasion these carriages were
all occupied by the fair sex, conse-
uuently a number of ladies were oblig-
ed to procure seats in a compartment
in which a naughty young fellow was
the sole occupant.
He quickly saw that the carriage
would soon be filled and he be in dan
ger of losing his seat.
At length when an elderly woman
hove in sight he thought it time to
interfere.

Euca,yptu. and Mosquitoes.

The eucalyptus will not live in the
winter where the temperature falls
more than a degree or two below the
freezing point. Malarial fevers are
prevalent at times in marshy ground,
and mosquitoes breed in marshy
places. The eucalyptus, by reason OF
its rapid growth, absorbs so much wa
ter from the soil as to actually drain
marshes of superfuous water and de-
stroy the breeding pools of the mos
quito. Any rapidly growing tree
would do the same service, though in
less degree than the eucalyptus,
which is more than commonly rapid
grower, but the Carolina poplar would
be a good substitute.-Meehan's
