every particular, and all bills should show the amounts spent on each road for labor and materi tls. respectively.
 Tt is possible that the system of ad- ministratIon here outlined would he too expensive for those counties whose road funds amount to only few tnou- sand dollars annually. But this diff culty could be overcome if two or three neighboring counties should be formei into one large road district, and the total road taxes be admins tered under system similar to that here outlined for single county. For instance, it would be entirely feasible for TWO or three counties together to have one road engineer, and in this way each one gain the benefits which it would be impossible for these coun- ties to have singly.
 This is but meager outline, and 1t is intended to serve only as sugges- ton and furnish topics for discussion at meetings called for this particular purpose. To my mind such topics are more pertinent for tax payers discus sions than technical questions as to what form of construction and what method of securing it should be adopt ed The latter are questions for the engineer to answer but it is for you to decide what general policy yoa will follow"

 leaves turn brown and dry up on the
 trees. Sometimes affected trees will
 pull through until fall but they fail
 10 leaf out the following spring. On
 making closer examination of these
 dying trees, sunken spots in crosches.
 limbs or body are found. Further
 search in the orchard is almost certain
 to disclose similar cankers in other
 wise apparently healthy trees
 The chief distinguishing character of this disease is the presence of these
 cankers, Along with this goes several other phenomena the relation of which
 10 the disease has as yet not been en- tirely worked out. Among these sec ondary features perhaps the most
 constant is the bleeding or emulation of sap from the heart wood where it is exposed by pruning or canker
 wounds. Often trees in affected or ehards which show no trace of recen. cankers will exhibit the most profuse
 bleeding from pruned stubs. There r
 another character which becomes quite evident. especially toward the latter part of the summer. The bark of bad ly affected trees often has peculiar bronzed or light brown color When cut into il is dry and pale with streaks of brown and does not have the sappy green color of healthy tissue. Such trees as if in anticipation of their early death. usually blossom abundant ly and set a heavy crop. This was strikingly shown in tree that I ob-
 served this spring. A canker on one side of the body had involved the base
 of large limb. The side of the tree formed by the branching of this limb
 was one solid mass of blossoms to the almost total exclusion of leaves, while the remainder of the tree was we'll leaved and bore normal per cent. of flowers. The fruit which sets on such
 diseased trees and limbs natures ab-
 normally early and is usually of very inferior quality or owing to the drain
 on the already weakened tree, it may never mature at all, but wither and drop from the dying branches. These
 phenomena in leaves. bark and fruit
 are to be attributed. think, directly to the cutting off of the sap supply by
 the cankers on the body and limbs
 The various forms of cankers which have been under observation during
 the past two years may be convenient ly grouped as follows: l. Limb and body cankers. or pit cankers: ?. crotch cankers; 3, pruned stub cankers i, collar cankers or collar rot ]. seurvy blister of the body and limbs. The treatment which at present appears
 most successful is to clean out the canker. i. e, remove with a sharp knife all diseased tissue. swab out the wound
 with a (one-fifth per cent) solution of corrosive sublimate or three per cent
 solution of copper sulphate and when dry paint over thoroughly with some heavy paint. The painting should be
 repeated later in the season. This sort
 of treatment was given in the spring or early summer so that wounds would have time to heal well. which they did in most cases. A sharp watch should be kept for the appearance of these
 cankers and they should be promptly
 cut out and treated.
