FIGHTING BITTER ROT.
An Apple Disease which Costs Amer,

There is disease Of apples that an

disease pass the winter on decayed
fruit or on the limbs of the tree. When
weather conditions are right the
spread of the bitter rot (or ripe rot,
as it Is called in some places) is very
rapid. Fortunately it's attacks are not
common, else apple growing would be
a feat far more difficult than at pres
ent The disease usually manifests it.
self during July and August, though in
some years 1t has been noticed as
early as June. II Is SO distinct in It's
characteristics that 1t Is easily recog-

and noticed Each decaying spot
spreads uniformly from a single center
of infection and small black pustules
appear on the surface OF the decayed
spots Under the decayed surface the
| fruit is of a spongy character. brown

and forms a cone-shaped area with
! the apex towards the core OF the apple.
f. w. Faurot says that II the pustules
on the decayed surface be examined
closely it will be seen that pink COLI
ored stringy masses are exuding from
them. This exudation is composed Of
countless numbers OF minute spores
cemented together. and which are dis

the tree, and from tree to tree. Spray

check and of saving the apple crop.
Perfect sanitary conditions in the or
