DIR. SHELDON LEAVES.
RETURNS TO MoHGsNTOw AFRER
INSPECTING oRCHARDs HERe.
Believes That Many Trees Can re saved
BY Promptly Destroying Oth.rs
That Are Diseased.

DR. John Sheldon. the expert from
the MorRantown experiment. station
who was in this county for several
days this week. looking over the
peach and apple orchards, has re-
turned to Morgantown. While here
he inspected a number of the larger
orchards in the county, and found that
the prevalence of peach yellows is
pretty general. and that thousands Of
bearing trees must be DESTROYED if the
Industry in this county is to be
fostered.
DR.. Sheldon also found many other
disea es among the orchards. most of
which, however. were due to the con.
tinued wet weather OF this summer,
and which Will very probably be en-
tirelv eradicated by the right sort of
weather condition s.
The Morgantown expert does not
take so gloomy view as that ex-
pressed by several of the local grow
ers but SAYS that it is serious enough
to variant the most radical and
prompt measures among the orchards
of the county. AS stated before, he
declares that there Is no known RENE.
DIV for D ach yellows, and recommends
that every tree so diseased be cut
down forthwith BY sacrificing a
portion of the orchards he remainder
can be preserved, but tie spread of
the dis ase through ntgligence will
probe blv, result in their complete loss.
