Weather for AnriI.

ID. N. Byerlee, local weather obser.
yer, reports the weather for April as
follows:
The weather for April has been re-
markable for its high temperature and
low percentage Of precipitation.
During the % years in which the
records have been kept there have
been but two years In which the pre-
oipitation has been lower in April
than this year, towit: 1885, when ID
was go inches, and 1905 when it was
Al. During this time the tempera-
ture was as high and low but two
years,as follows: in 1900 and 1905,
the maximum for April was In both
years SS degrees and the minimum for
the year 1894 was 26 degrees, and for
1905, 30 degrees. All other years the
temperature was lower for the maxi
mum and higher for the minimum in
April.
This gives us the result of /. 40 in
ches deficiency in moisture and an ex-
cess of heat of 1916 degrees. The
effect Of this condition Is showing
itself in the growth of the crops which
has been wonderfully rapid during
the past month. Below will be found
a copy of the report sent to the de-
partment by the local observer.

The Spencer Seedless Apple.

Commenting upon the Spencer Seed
less Apple the National Nurserymar
says:
This apple, which the promoters
insist upon propagating and selling
throughout the country in advance
OF Experiment station or individual
trial, was exhibited at the New YorE
State Fruit Growers meeting at Lock.
port.
There we're five or six specimens
Of an apple of medium size, regular
form, but with one exception-un
tractive color.
THE skin was smooth, more or less
covered with dull shading of red,
except In the case when noted, when
the specimen was fairly well tinged
with light and dark red.
"One specimen, the best colored
one, was cut by Mr.. Fell, of Buffalo,
who is promoting the propagation and
sale of the apple in this section of the
country. The specimen cut WAS en-.
tirely seedless; it was not only seed
less, hut the core region was mainly
occupied with close grained flesh, and
this character Of the texture prevailed
throughout the fruit.
"The core carples we're present, but
of diminished size. There was some
evidence of a superimposed set of core
carpets. Samples of the apple we're
tested by an informal committee, and
opinions as to its quality we're ex-
changed.
ut was compared with Northern
Spy and Ben Davis. Its texture COM
pared favorably with both of these
varieties. 1t was seriously lacking in
juice, however, and in flavor was
distinctly inferior to the speoimen-a
New York grown specimen, too Ben
Davis, with which il was compared.
or course, it was therefore not to be
considered as being in the class of
Northern Spy.
If these specimens represent the
quality Of the fruit, there seems no
good reason why 1t should be propa.
gated, and no apparent justification
for pressing 1t upon the public. 1t is
a curiosity apparently without valu-
able commercial or amateur character

GumHlOsis.

The gummy exudations often seen
on cherry trees and other stone fruits.
Indicate defective nutrition. 1t Is
the transformation OF large groups OF
tissue into waste product with which
goes the vital forces Of the tree.
Young trees suffer great loss of vital.
ity when so affected and will often
die. Imperfect nutrition may be
brought about by excessive moisture.
or drainage, dry subsoil, and lack
OF the proper elements of plant food.
Cherries should be planted on well
prepared land, and attention always
given to good cultivation. Wherever
gum appears it should be removed.
then the parts should be cleaned, and
an application or two of orange shellac
varnish made upon the parts affected.
| wish to emphasize the value of this
treatment with orange shellac varnish.
To prepare the vaInish take pure
alcohol and add enough orange shellac
scales to make liquid of the density
OF thick cream. Apply the varnish
with brush. When dry it is re-
sistant to moisture. 1t is well to
have the surface dry when the appli-
cation Is made. There is no better
dressing for wounds of all kinds on
plants than this varnish. It is better
than wakes for DIRE sing cut surfaces
after pruning
Orange Shellac varnish is an anti
septic. II. A. II.

CrOwn-GaII and Hairy.Root.

A report of Investigations by Mr..
George q. Hedgecock, of the u. s.
Department Of Agriculture on Crown.
Gall and Hairy Root, indicates that
they are two separate and distinct dis
eases, which is contrary to the belief
by some that these are two forms OF
the same disease. Much remains yet
to be learned about these diseases OF
which the gall is the more common.
1t Is found on the roots of various
kinds Of fruit trees and other fruit
bearing plants, and other plants as
well.
The above reports says, gals often
occur in connection with hairy-root.
but these are results of wounds rather
than form Of this disease. "Apple
crown gall is of two types, says the
report. "a hard caIlous form Is com
mon on grated trees at the union of
the root and scion, and at any other
point of the root system where wounds
occur In either the cultivation or
transplanting of trees. :" "a second
type is soft form more common on
seedlings" meaning Seeding stock
used for grating. In my opinion
this 'soft" form may be the same as
that designated as the "callous" form,
being soft by reason of the softer tbs.
sues of young seedlings.
All forms of root disease should be
rejected and destroyed both by the
nurseryman and planters.
No remedy for this disease has vet
been found, and much concerning it
remains to be studied. j.. A. II.

Pear Blight,

This disease is sometimes called
fire blight, " as an infested tree has
the appearance of being scorched by
fire. The leaves and twigs turn black,
and II neglected will continue to die
downward. 1t has been fully deter.
mined that pear blight is caused by q
species OF bacteria exceedingly min.
ute germs, which gain entrance to the
soft growing tissues of the plant
through the blossoms or wounds, and
circulate in the sap. Bees will carry
these germs from an infested tree to
others when in bloom. Owing to the
nature of the attack, external RENE.
dies cannot be made to reach the dis
ease. The only remedy is to cut out
the diseased branches, and it is best
to cut about foot below the appar-
emily diseased portion, as a fresh at
tack does not always have surface
Indication. The knife or whatever
pruning instrument is used should be
dipped in rather strong solution Of
oarbolic aoid after each cut Is made
to avoid spreading the germs by CON
tact.
Growers should use extraordinary
care to prevent the introduction of
pear blight to their localities, for
sooner or later they are sure to exper-
ience considerable loss il it is allowed
to spread. Fab.
