Insurance News.

Insurance men of the West who read
the daily column of insurance informa-
tion in The Chicago Record Herald keep
pace with the times and are prepared
for all emergencies and contingencies
that have grown into the insurance bust
ness. The column with Insurance
Men" gives in compact form all the lat
est doings i'm the insurance world, and is
conceded by insurance men everywhere
to be the best and most up-to- date re-
port published by any newspaper in the
United States. The Record Herald does
not copy its information from insurance
journals, but secures it first hand from
managers, agents and companies and by
telegraph from It's own special CORES
pondents, by telephone and in special
cable dispatches from abroad. The New
York service of The Record Herald's in
surance department is equaled by no
other paper. In fact, The Record
Herald is the only daily newspaper that
gives insurance men the first informa-
ton daily on every important event in
the insurance business.

Raspberry Cane Blight

The Geneva, IN. " Experiment Sta
ton hasissued Bulletin No. 226, on "Rasp
berry Cane Blight" which will interest
fruit-grower readers everywhere. The
bulletin tells of the investigation of
raspberry disease which has become
quite destructive i'm New York, and
which has likely affected plantations
throughout the West, judging from com
plants which have reached this office.
This bulletin, is by Profs. Stewart and
Eustace, and the substance of their re-
port follows.
For several years raspberry plantations
In New York state have suffered quite
severely from disease which kills back
the fruiting canes. Owners did not
recognize the trouble as a disease, how
ever, but ascribed the injury to winter
killing or the effect of drought. They
did not bring the condition to the notice
of scientists SO it was not until lo99,
when the station botanist and assistants
were making n plant disease survey OF
the Hudson Valley, that students be
came aware of the existence OF such
prevalent and destructive in many plan
tations, and has since been observed IN
most of the raspberry fields examined IN
different parts of the state. 1t has also
been reported from Ohio, Connecticut
and Wisconsin.
1t usually affects fruiting canes, al
though sometimes young canes are at
tackled and killed during the season. The
cane puts out foliage as usual, unlike
the winter killed cane; but the leaves
suddenly wilt and become dry. The IN
jury occasionally ceases with the death OF
a single branch; sometimes it extends
down one side of the cane, killing all
branches on that side; more rarely, 1t
destroys the entire cane. With black
caps, this is the general course of the
disease, which often starts in the old
stub left by pruning; but with red varie-
ties the injury is more liable TO be con-
fined to definite sections of the cane.
Here the bark is dead and the wood
brown, at first only part way around the
cane, so that the leaves above are sup
piled with sap through the remaining
uninjured strip of bark but the COM
pletion of the girdle, through the adj
vance of the disease, causes the leaves
above to wilt suddenly and die. The
tip of the cane, only, may die, half
the cane, or all of it, according as
the seat of the disease is located on
the stem; for parts below the girdle
remain apparently healthy and vigorous.
The affected canes may die at any time,
but the outbreak usually is at its height
as the fruit ripens, when the berries, as
we'll as the leaves, dry up on the canes.
When such a sudden willing occurs
the affected area may usually be located
by careful examination of the bark of
the cane. That is usually lighter colored
than healthy bark, smutty and with
smoke colored patches where the spores,
or seeding bodies, have covered the bark.
In many cases minute pimples appear on
the surface of the bark, which are due
to the formation and opening of the tiny

HORTICULTURAL.
DEPARTMENT.

cases which contain the spores of the
fungus. The wood beneath indicates
more strikingly the presence of disease,
for it will be found strongly discolored
and usually very hitter.
Frequently red raspberry canes will
show IN August and September brown
or blulsh-black areas of considerable
size, from one inch to four inches in
length and extending half or two-thirds
round the cane, with limits well defined.
These were at one time thought to be
an early stage of cane-blight; but care.
full investigation proves them due to a
different and practically harmless fun
gus. The bark only is affected the sap
wood remaining healthy. This is the
essential point and the one which must
be depended on in separating the work
of the two fungi; for the later stages of
Sphaerella rubina (which is the scientific
name Of the bark fungus), are almost in
distinguishable from the outward signs
of cane blight. The areas affected with
cane blight are usually marked by a
smutty appearance, if the spores have
been shed, while the Sphaerella areas
are clean. The canes affected by the lat
ter fungus alone do not seem to be i'm
paired i'm vitality, the surface growth of
the Sphaerella making it a harmless
dweller on the canes.
Cane blight is so common that prac-
tically every plantation shows more or
less of it, though in most cases the
amount of damage done is slight. Very
rarely does it destroy an entire crop, but
In many cases from one fourth to one
half or even two-thirds of the crop has
been lost.
1t is generally more destructive in old
plantations than in new ones, the damage,
as rule, increasing with the age of the
bushes, but some instances have been
known where severe attack in the early
life of a plantation has been followed by
practical disappearance of the disease.
1t probably thryes best and spreads fast
est In wet seasons; but the loss may show
most in dry season following a wet one,
since it is in the second season following
the infection that the willing and death
are most likely to occur. The disease
will probably be most destructive when
a warm, wet summer and autumn, suit
able to infection, are followed by warm
spring and by drought in July when the
fruit is ripening. The warmth of the
spring would promote vigorous growth
of the fungus and the lack of moisture
in the soil at fruiting time, when the de.
mand for water is heaviest, would in
crease the liability to willing.

600 year from the sale of seed. The
first experiment Of the planters In
this line were made less than half a
dozen years ago. One onion patch
now covers 1900 acres, with burrows
