BlaCkSnOt Canker.
BY w. Il. LAWRENCE.

By W. ii. Lawrence.
Blackspot Canker is disease of the
apple tree. In Importance Ii ranks
next to the apple 3cab. 1t is very
prevalent and destructive in Western
Was hington in localities where the
rain fall is considerable during the
latter part OF autumn and early win
ter. The disease is caused by a para
site fungus. The fungus lives in the
bark for about year and then dies.
Before it dies 1t forms spores, the
greater number of which are distri.
buted from October to late December
or little later. These spores are
carried about by the wind and some
of them lodge on the bark of apple
trees. The moderately low tempera-
ture and plenty of moisture usually
present in November and later are
conditions most suitable for germina-
tion. On terminating the fungus en-
ters the bark. Occasionally by the
end of week new cankers make their
appearance. They are about the size
of pin head, circular, somewhat sun
ken, and nearly black. They increase
slowly in diameter hut the fungus
penetTates the bark into the sap wood
beneath. When the tree begins to
leave out the cankers increase rapidly
in diameter and are mature in size by
the last of June or little later. Ma
ture cankers are usually oblong and
vary in size from d Of an inch to
inches long by a OF an inch to 5 in
che5 in width. Frequently they ap-
pear to he much larger. As rule
these larger ones are the result of two
or more smaller ones merging to-
gether. The cankered bark becomes
dry and brittle and separates from the
living, leaving lissure. 1t remains
on the tree for time and then falls
out, leaving a scar.
About the time the cankers are full
grown the epidernlis (skin) on the
cankers become slightly roughened by
the formation Of pustules Just beneath
it, Each Of these pustules contains
numerous spores which when distri-
buted will cause the new cankers to
appear.
Since the spread of the disease IS
caused by spores aud the spores
germinate in November it follows that
the way to prevent the disease is to
prevent the termination of the spores.
This can be done by spraying the
trees with double strength Bordeaux
about the first of November
to kill the spores OH the bark. Under
weather conditions there
will be sufficient spray on the bPrk to
kill spores that may lodge on it for
short period of time if the work has
been done properly. To catch the
spores that are distributed later in
the season spray second time with
double strength Bordeaux mixture
making the application thorough so

Aphis, Black and Green.

The aphis which attacks the foliage
of the apple is usually of light green
color, and those found on the plum
and other stone fruits are commonly
black. Many kinds of plants are in
tested with aphides of varying shades
OF green merging to black. The
females give birth to living young
through the summer. Near the close
ot the warm season eggs are deposited
on the twigs, and these hatch the fol
lowing spring, and so continue the
cycle of development. Aphides cause
injury to young trees, nursery stock,
and newly set gratis, principally by
hindering or destroying leaf action.
The common remedy is kerosene
emulsion used as spray. The remedy
| have found best by extensive prac-
tice Is preparation OF nicotine, a by
product in the manufacture of tobacco
for the trade. This is syrupy liquid
put up and sold in one and five gallon
cans, and extensively used as a sheep
dip for ticks, and by greenhouse men
to kill insects iniest ng tender plants.
1t Is offered to the trade under the
names, Sheep Dip, Rose Leaf, Black
Leaf, Nicoticide and other trade
names. The cost is 81. 90 to 81 % per
gallon and is diluted with about Is
parts water for.application. A strong
tob lcco tea made from the refuse of
cigar factories and used as a spray is
an excellent substitute for the com.
merciql nicotine products.
A thorough spraying with sulphur
lime solution before the foliage starts
will destroy the eggs, thus we gain an.
other important advantage in the use
Of this valuable remedy which is con
sidered the standard for scale insects.

WOOily Aphis.

This inject is rarely found anywhere
except on apple trees. 1t is most com.
mon in the Coast Region, though in
other sections it is sometimes quite
numerous. The white cottony sub
tance which forms covering and
protection to the soft bodied insects
beneath, appears so conspicuous that
its presence is readily observed. 1t
attaches itself to rough places in the
bark, in openings caused by wounds,
where branches have been cut off, and
about the buds and fruit spurs on
small branches. 1t impairs the vital.
ity OF the tree when allowed to de-
velop in considerable numbers. The
sulphur lime spray helps to keep it in
check, but kerosene emulsion is a
more effective remedy. Pure kerosene
applied with paint brush to the
trunk and main branches where it is
found seems to result in no injury to
the tree and will kill the insects. 1t
is difficult pest to eradicate.
1t is said that "root form" Of
woolly aphis attacks the roots of ap-
pie trees. Some authorities claim the
so-called root form is entirely a differ
ent insect, and it is named the zap.
ple-root aphis." While not as com
mon as the w9olly aphis working in
the tops, 1t is even more destructive
when found. Calls which resemble
crown gall are produced on the small
roots by its attack. A remedy recon-
ended for this is to remove the earth
from around the base of the tree aud
treat with kerosene emulsion. This
pest is likely to be introduced on
nursery stock and serves as a warning
to the planter tor close insection.

THE RESERVOIR
IS COMPLETED
WILL HOLD 2S4,OOO GALLONS
Valuable Improvements Made at the
Spring by the Water Com
pany.

The news that the new reservoir at
the spring, which supplies the lower
part of town with water for domestic
use, is completed, and that the water
will now be available for irrigating,
will be welcome to the consumers of
the water.
The reservoir will be filed to about
one-third its capacity today, and af-
ter thirty days will be filed another
third, and at the end OF sixty days it
will be ready to hold 2s4, 600 gallons
of water.
The company have put heavy con
crete wall entirely around the springs,
comprising an area of 80xl25 feet. At
its deepest part, the water will be II
feet deep when the reservoir is full,
and at the outlet it will have l0.foot
head. A large filter has been put in,
consisting of square box of cement,
illled with clean gravel, so that every
drop of water going into the service
pipes will have to pass through twenty
six feet of gravel. This will prevent
any impure organic matter getting in
to the pipes.
The old bottom of the springs was
dug out to the depth of several feet
and a new coating of clean gravel put
into the bottom, and in digging out
for the work two more large springs
were uncovered, which gushed out
from the bottom, thereby increasing
the flow Of water very materially.
Around the c0nerete wall there will
be built an 8-foot fence, covered with
fine mesh poultry netting, to prevent
any animal getting to the water, and
also to catch leaves and flying debris
from falling into the reservoir. Trees
that we're too close have been cut
down, so that no falling leaves or
twigs can get in, and the grounds will
be terraced up around the springs
and made into a park.
No expense has been spared to
make the job permanent, and besides
improving the sanitary condition of
the springs, the reservoir will serve to
greatly increase the water supply In
the day time when it is most needed,
by storing the overflow at night, which
heretofore escaped.
The reserve will also be drawn up
on 70 replenish the upper spring, by
installing an electric pump, and
pumping into the upper system. The
power will be supplied by the electric
plant of the company.
1t was expected to have the work
completed long before, but the search
ty OF men, and the requiring more
time than was contemplated at the be-
ginning, has made the delay.
2. M. Hall Lewis has supervision of
the work.

Serious Accident on North Bank.

Saturday afternoon about two
o'clock, while the blasting gang we're
emptying 30 kegs of powder into sacks,
preparatory to putting in blasts, the
powder ignited. The foreman, @. Il.
Vincent, was 80 badly burned that he
died the next morning, while three
others, whose names we we're unable
to learn, were very seriously burned.
The powder ignited with great
puff of flame, setting fire to the cloth
ing of the men, which did the damage.
The foreman had his back to it, and
the flames setting fire to his coat In
the back, he was unable to put It out
until he was very badly burned. The
hair and face of the others we're
burned, but they shut their eyes in
voluntarily, so that none were blind
ed. They we're badly burned about
the chest and hands, however.
The men we're removed to camp and
Drs. Brosius, Dumble and Watt sum-
moned, who dressed the wounds, after
which they we're taken to the camp
hospital at Collins In the launch be-
longing to the medical department.
V. r. Vincent has a wife and fam
lily in Portland and she was notified,
arriving at Collins in the evening.

Many WalnHtS Planted.

An event of horticultural impor.
tance took place at Salem two weeks
ago when nursery company planted
enough walnuts grown on grated
trees to ensure the raising of 125, 600
trees. There is natural tendency to
compare the walnut planting boom
now under way in Oregon with the
planting boom Of fifteen years
ago. A comparison, however, of the
matter published at the present time
with reference to the walnut industry
with that published fifteen years ago
as to the prune industry will quickly
convince anyone that we are proceed
ing in very sane way now as COM
pared with the prune-planting days.
The prune- planting boom came at
time when nearly everybody was more
or less crazed by the spirit of specula-
tion and nearly anyone could be in
duced to believe marvellous stories Of
sure profits to be realized. There is
very little danger of over planting Of
walnuts at the present time. The dan
ger ia that many will plant trees of the
wrong kind or plant in the wrong
place. Those who take any pains to
inform themselves as to the walnut in
dustry before buying trees can not
fail to have their attention called to
these points. There is no way of pro-
tecting those who go blind in such
matters and the only sympathy they
deserve is that bestowed ON all who
are so foolish as to think they know
so much already that they do not need
to learn anything. The systematic
and organized sale of great quantity
of trees of uniform type and specially
suited to this country will in itself in
a great measure protect even this
class In the matter of trees. Oregon

FRUIT PESTS
AND REMEDIES
DESCRIPTION AND TREATMENT
Taken From a Bulletin on Orchard
Practice, Complied by
F.A. Huntley.

The San Jose Scale has become SO
generally distributed to the fruit sec.
tions OF this state that most growers
OF tree fruits are familiar with its
destructive effects. 1t may be found
on all kinds of fruit trees, and on ma.
tive trees contiguous to the infested
orchards but is most noticeable on
apples and pears. When present on a
bearing tree it always attacks the
fruit, causing conspicuous red
olotches. Most persons do not like
to eat scaly fruit. Raw animal matter
hassnot come to be coveted relish
when served upon flesh fruit, or
otherwise.
The San Jose Scale does not appear
in broods at stated intervals. as is the
habit of some other insect. 1t lives
through the winter on branches and
twigs from the infant stage to that of
full development. The scales as ob.
served during the dormant season are
from about thirty second to nearly
one-eight of an inch in diameter.
They are of grayish color, nearly
circular in shape, and almost flat, with
- PVAh"OuS SAABhOi1 IdlsSu CbuLeT Oh
lighter color. They devour the vital
forces of tree to such an extent that
1t ceases to be profitable, and will fin.
ally die il left untreated.
Beginning with the first warm
weather In May the scales commence
to multiply and so continue to in
crease through the season. The Young
are born alive and become Immediate
ly active in their destructive work OF
sucking the juices from the plant.
1t is not difficult matter to con
troll and even to eradicate this pest
from an orchard, by use of the sui
phur-lime spray properly prepared and
thoroughly applied.
The writer of this article has used
the sulphur lime spray in June with
excellent success by applying the
standard formula made up to one halt
strength. +. A. II.

attack is made upon the young twigs
in the spring by the larvae { worms
boring into the tips. A late brood in.
tests the fruit, and it is the late var.
ieties of fruit that indicate the great.
est loss to the fruit grower.
The adult is a small dark gray moth
which reaches maturity in August and
later. The moths lay their eggs in
the crotches of the smaller branches.
When the eggs hatch the larva bore
into the bark and there remain until
the following spring.
The Kerosene emulsion spray will
destroy the worms if thoroughly ap-
piled late in the winter or early spring
In treating for this pest it is advisable
to use an elbow on the end of the
spraying rod, and direct the spray
downward into the cIotohes with con
siderable force. f. A. ii.

Apple Scab.
BY w. II. Lawrence.

1 ~ W. IL AAa"ApliUs
This is the most destructive disease
of the apple that occurs in the state
The fungus that causes the disease
ha two stages-the winter stage whiol
lives in the dead and decaying leaves
during the winter and the summer
stage which lives on the leaves anc
fruit during the summer.
The form in the deal leaves contin.
ues TO grow during the winter. Some,
time in late winter or early spring
capsules are formed inside the leaves.
Each capsule contains numel ous
spores. About the time the leaves on
the apple tree begin to unfurl in
spring and later these spores escape
from the capsule and float about in
the air. Some of them lodge on the
leaves, flowers and fruit. If they ger.
inmate they will cause the parts to be-
come diseased. The summer stage
then makes its appearance in few
days in the shape of small, usually
nearly circular, dark, olive green col.
ored blotches. These blotohes are
composed of numerous short stalks
on the tips of which summer spores
are borne The summer sporef ma.
ture at once and drop Off II they
lodge on the leaves and fruit of the
same tree or neighboriug one they
will cause new areas to become dis
eased. Very shortly second crop of
summer spores is produced by the fin
gus in the new areas which in turn
drop off. Some of them are carried
by the wind and other agents to the
leaves and fruit and thus spread tht
disease more widely. Summer spores
mature in such short time and are
produced In such abundance that
thousands of scabby spots appear In
the course of few days when condi-
tiOns are favorable. As the parts ma
ture the new blotches become less fre.
quent and finally cease to appear.
The greater number Of them appear
during the interval of time between
the unfolding of the leaves and few
days after the petals have fallen. The
reason that the fungus no longer pro.
duces new diseased areas is perhaps
due to the epidermis (skin) of the
leaves becoming somewhat thicker
and tirmer and thus more resistant so
that the fungus is unable to make a
entrance.
Since the fungus that causes the
disease winters in the dead leaves IL
is evident that the destruction of as
many of the fallen leaves as possible
will materially lessen the number of
winter spores to be set free in the
spring Flowing the leaves under in
the autumn is perhaps the easiest
method of getting rid of greater
number of them. Thus will not alto
gether prevent the disease. The trees
must be sprayed every year.
Several sprays have been used In
combating apple sCaJ but none has
given as good results as properly pre-
pared Bordeaux mixture Two appli-
cations applied on the proper dates
are sufficient TO hold the disease in
check. The first application must be
made just before the flower buds open
and the second just after the petals
have fallen.
