work hard all the forenoon; eat din

THE PERIODS OF GROWTH.
Some Scientific Data as to the Human
Body,

Children born between September
and February are, some authorities
state, not so tail as those born in the
summer and spring months, and the
growth of children is much more
rapid from March till August. The
extremities grow rapidly up to the six
teenth year, then there is slow
growth till the thirtieth year. The
legs chiefly grow between the tenth
and seventeenth years. Comparing
the general results, it appears that
there are six periods of growth The
first extends up to the sixth or eighth
year;sand is one Of very rapid growth;
the second period, from eleven to
fourteen years, growth is low; the
third period, from sixteen to seven
teen7S the fourth period shows a slow
growth up to the age of thirty for
ifth9period is one of rest, from thirty
to fifty years; the sixth period is
characterized by a decrease in all
dimensions of the body,

Mr.. Windham happening to meet one

reasons for not voting for him. In

and in the second, his aversion arose
from his being a turn-coat, and many

Mr.. Windhams replied very coldly:

somewhat of vexed question. The cause
may not bother the grower if remedy is
found The oft-stated remedy is said to be
Bordeaux mixture but the facts rarely war
rant the statement. The expert at one ex-
pertinent station carries on a series of ex-
periments to prove that it is a contagious
disease, but unless all the physical condi-
tons surrounding this sphere of work were
transferred to some other state, it would
be useless to infer that the disease were
the same or that the treatment or remedial
measures should be similar. Granted that

Horticultural Notes
BY F. Walden


good deal of attention among orchardists.
One of the troubles about this disease is
the fact that it is but little understood.
What is the cause and what is the remedy
no one has determined. That it is fungus
growth seems to be admitted, but what
causes it seems not to be known. The varl-
Gus experiment stations are giving atten-
ton to this disease and in due time we may
expect to have some reliable information on
this matter. The Western Fruit Grower
contains the following on this subject:
Prof. Tourney, of Arizona, has investigat-
ed crown gall, and says the disease is
caused by microscopic organism which
is more apt to enter the tissues OF the plant
at the cut surface where the graft was made
But Prof Garman, of Kentucky experiment
station, conducted some experiments, and
found that the disease is very contagious
and can be communicated to seeding trees
by crushing the gals and placing them in
soil in which the seeds are planted. when
transpanted to the orchard continues Prof
Garman, ''the gals continue to grow, event
ually producing large warty masses at the
base of the trunk Such trees can never
be very profitable, since in their enfeebed
condition they will not bear we'll
Concerning remedial treatment, Pro. Gar
man says: Called trees may well be
burned at once, not only because they are
unfit for place in the orchard but because
if allowed to grow they endanger other
trees in their neighborhood. Soil in which
the diseased trees have grown should be
avoided for some time 1t is rather difficult
to get to the gall without taking up the
tree in such way as to remove the diseased
parts with knife, and even under the most
favorable circumstances the cutting would
have to be so severe that it would very likely
weaken the tree, and while therefore, this
treatment cannot be considered satisfactory,
it is the best that can be recommended to
those who are not disposed to take the at
fected trees out and burn them. Bordeaux
mixture applied to the outside of the gall
can do little more than kill the parasite at
the surface"
In few days we have to begin to spray
for codling moth There is no discussion
among the we'll informed as to whether
spraying for this insect does good But
there is wide difference of opinion as to
which sprayings do the most good The
prevailing practice is to begin to spray as
soon as the petals have fallen. The only
theory that gave rise to this practice is that
if we deposit the poison in the calix cup
before it Closes it will be there ready for the
young larvae as soon as they make their
appearance. But some of our chemists aver
that they can find no trace of the poison
there four weeks after the spraying is done.
But it must be borne in mind that this is
by no means conclusive that the spraying is
useless at that time. Many of our scient-
lists have made mistakes in the past and
they will make more of them in the future

penses. If | had grubbed those trees up
at the end of that year it would have been
the best financial venture | ever made in
fruit raising.
Elmer E. tombstone executive commits
sioner for the ST. Louis fair, was recently
in the Yakima valley making arrangements
to secure fine specimens of fruit and other
products to be sent to that exposition in
1904 He met with much encouragement
in this good work. The writer of these
notes has promised to make a special effort
to furnish some extra fine apples. Wash
ington should make a fine showing at that
fair.
The writer passed through section of
country not long since where some one had
induced all the fruit growers to cut back
the tops of all their apple trees, Even or
chards that had been set nine and ten years
had every limb bobbed off. Why? I don't
know The men who have allowed that
kind of work to be done, will find a big
Job in thinning out the surplus branches
caused by this freak. Remember that when
it from two to four times, and sometimes
you cut off the point of a limb you multiply
more. If the tree is already thick enough in
the top then next year it must be thinned
back to the normal condition, and that is
no small Job where the thinning must be
done ten to twelve feet from the ground.
In the Yakima valley we have had the
long distance telephone for a year past.
This is very we'll for long distance work,
but is worth but little for local use. But
now in some parts of the valley we have
local telephone and it is inexpensive The
writer had one installed in his residence on
the ranch and now he can communicate
with the railroad stations and with many OF
the fruit growers in that part of the valley.
We expect to use it quite extensively in
making up car load lots of fruit, and thus
save money in the way of freight and ex-
press charges.
Some of our horticultural papers devote
good deal of space to the condition of the
fruit crop. In the Ohio and Mississippi
valleys peaches are badly killed. Some coun-
ties in Michigan promise full crop and
some but half crop
The apple outlook in the United States
would indicate a light crop.
A fruit journal that claims to discard all
advertisements that look like fakes or hum
bugs, has running in it an "ad'' for GER
tain compound for which it is claimed that
"a few drops put on the roots of the tree
will kill all the insects in or on the tree!
Consistency is jewel.
