JOE GARDNER A WINNER

San Antonio Express:
The second great contest of the
Fair, which was held Saturday
afternoon, proved to be all that
had been predicted for it. Six
of the best ropers in the world

and despite the fact that two
celebrated champions from New

was carried off by a Texan-Joe

One fact was fully demonstrate

that was that no record breaking

sometimes to go for walks with
Charles Lamb. On these occasions
strict control was kept on Charles
Lambs thirst. When he thought the
distance was unduly great he would
turn and say, Don't you think l have

My mother always told me that no
likeness of Charles Lamb which she
had ever seen at all brought back the

great deal due to the total failure to
catch the expression of his face. She
said that Lamb had very sweet and

have been quite impossible to catch.

old she made a pilgrimage to the por.

BITTER ROT OF APPLES.
Damage to the Crop Estimated at
SlO,DOO,OOO,

$lO,OOO,OOO.
The Department of Agriculture has
issued as bulletin No. Al of the Bureau
of Plant Industry paper on the bitter
rot of apples, prepared by Professor
Hermann Won Schreck, special agent
in charge of the Mississippi Valley
laboratory, and Perley Spaulding, 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 hand
lers of this fruit. AS stated in the
department report for 1901, the presi-
dent of the National Apple Shippers
to the apple crop of the United States
in 1900 from bitter rot was $4,000, 600.
In some orchards there was a 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 nu-
merous growers the Bureau of Plant
Industry undertook extensive investi-
cations to determine more definitely
the life history of the fungus causing
bitter rot, with the hope Of discovering
Il more effective method of holding it
in check The report of this investiga-
ton contains n general account of the
history Of the disease, Il description
and life history of the fungus causing
it and some facts which have been re-
Gently discovered in regard to the mode
Of life of the parasite.
During the year 1901 cooperative cX-
periments were carried on with the
Illinois experiment station, but during
the last season the work was conduct
ed independently by both the station
and the department. Cooperative cX-
pcriments on the control of this disease
were started the past year with the
Missouri fruit experiment station, and
will be continued with this station and
fruit growers in various apple sections
during the present season.-Washing.
