BITTER ROT OF APPLES.
Damage to the Crop Estimated at $40,
600 600.

The Department of Agriculture has issued
as bulletin No ~ of the bureau of plant in
dustry a paper on the bitter rot of apples,
prepared by Prof Hermann Won Schrenk.
special agent in charge of the Mississippi
valley laboratory, and Mr.. Perley Spauld-
ing, a special agent of the department.
For the past four or five years the bitter
rot of apples has been the cause of heavy
losses to growers and handlers Of this fruit.
AS stated in the departmental report for
1901, the president of the National Apple
Shippers Association estimated that the
damage to the apple crop Of the United
States in 1900 from bitter rot was 10000
$50. In some orchards there was total
loss of fruit: in others from one-half to
two thirds of the crop was destroyed.
The disease is especially severe in the
Mississippi valley and the states along the
Ohio river. At the request OF numerous
growers the bureau of plant industry I'M
dertook extensive investigations to deter
mine more definitely the life history of the
fungus causing bitter rot, with the hope of
discovering a more effective method Of
holding it In check. The report of this in
vestigation contains a general account of
the history Of the disease, a description
and life history of the fungus causing 1t
and some facts which have been recently
discovered in regard to the mode Of life of
the parasite.
During the year 1901 cooperative expert
ments were carried on with the Illinois ex-
pertinent station but during the last season
the work was conducted independently by
both the station and the department. Co
operative experiments on the control of
the Missouri fruit experiment station and
will be continued with this station and
fruit growers in various apple sections dur
ing the present season.

FAILURE OF JURY SYSTEM.
Minister Merry Tells Of Its Abolition
in Costa Rica.

United States Minister Merry at San Jose.
Costa Rica, has made a report to the Sec
rotary of State in explanation Of the action
of the congress Of Costa Rica in abolish
ing the jury system in that country, which
action, he says, was taken after a full and
free discussion of the question.
I'm conversation with well Informed citi
zens of the republic" says the minister, ut
appears that the system has go frequently
resulted in a perversion Of justice that the
demand for a change had become almost
unanimous. 1t is freely admitted that trial
by jury is generally considered as an evil
dence of a free government, but unless in
tellgent, as well as honest jurors can be
obtained. miscarriage OF justice generally
results One intelligent official remarked to
me that the Latin race lacks the qualities
essential for jury duty. Considerations Of
family, political interest, race and personal
prejudice are paramount. and Latin Amer
leans appear too often unable to consider
any question on the broad principle of alb
stract justice
Outside Of the few cities In the republic
1t has been found impossible to obtain com
petent jureS. one gentleman represented
to that he hopes to see trial by jury re-
instated in Costa Rica. but that cannot be
done until the working classes are better
educated. The present generation must give
place to that now attending the primary
schools of the republic. The above facts
are pertinent to the correct understanding
Of political conditions in Central America,
for there is no doubt that the people of
Costa Rica considered as a body polite, are
more intelligent and more peaceably dis
posed than any in Central America. and the
government Is doing comparatively more to
encourage public education, especially in
the lower grades, than any of the Central
American republics"
