TREE WITH BLACK KNOT.

proof is undoubtedly a nature fakir,
but if he selects the right varieties
among the Japanese he will come much
nearer than usual to the truth. In two
rows in the college orchard of twenty
two trees each, one Of Red June and
the other of Burbank, found in
reasonably long search not single
specimen of black knot. And last year
their record was almost equally clean.
On trees in adjoining rows of Engel-
hart and Bradshaw, however, knots
are all too abundant, though not nearly
so bad as last season. They would
probably average half a dozen knots to
the tree this season, while last year
the same trees yielded a couple of
bushels of knots from the two rows.
While this is a little discoura ging to
the man who wants to grow the domes-
tic plums, as everybody does who
wants high quality, still it is surpris-
ing how little time is required to keep
down this disease if it is taken in time
and Systematically handled. And it is
equally surprising how badly a tree
can be affected and still be recovered
satisfactorily. A few years ago the
writer undertook to revive some old
trees which would ordinarily have
been cut down and put on the brush
heap They were mass of knots from
top to bottom. We selected a time
when the snow was on the ground so
that the knots could be easily gathered
up and cut out every vestige Of the dis
ease, though in some cases this left a
pretty small proportion of the original
tree. In removing a knot we cut at
least six inches below it, so as to be
sure and take out the roots of the dis
ease. That year the trees made big
growth, often three or four feet, but
good many new knots also came out
which were removed that autumn, the
trees also receiving two thorough
sprayings with bordeaux mixture dur
ing the summer
The following two years we did near.
" all our cutting in the summer and
found it much more satisfactory in its
results than cutting during the dor
mant season. To begin with, as the
appeared we saved the crop Of sum-
mer spores which would otherwise have
spread the disease Then, the knots
being young and soft, we could fire.
uuently shave them off and thus save
the branch ON which they grew. Last
ly, when it became necessary to cut
out branch altogether, in getting rid
of a knot, the tree, being still in growth,
would at once fill in the space thus
made, so that by autumn it could
hardly be seen.
This work was done in a section
where the black knot 1ourishes like the
proverbial green bay tree, yet we found
it by no means a serious matter to rid
these trees of the disease and keep
them reasonably free. Three cuttings
during the summer, with an autumn
clearing up (after the leaves were off
of the knots which had escaped thus
far, combined with three applications
of bordeaux mixture, did the work.
Our sprayings were applied one be-
fore the leaves opened, one after the
blossoms fell and one about two weeks
later. Lest some may think this pref
ty serious programme l may say that
the summer cutting the third season
took lust four and one-half hours for
an orchard of ninety trees.

Hunor 0na Philosophy
THE SATISFACTION O. 1T.
By DUNCAN NJ. SMITH

1t may not bring you money,
1t may not win you fame,
1t may not be a lever
To help you win the game,
It may not make you blossom
Into a millionaire,
But there is satisfaction
In being on the square.
When gagged by worldly wisdom
The things that spell success
May if not wholly crooked,
Be shady more or less.
Get money is the slogan.
BE square if it will pay
AS well as being crooked,
But get it anyway"
The ethics of the jungle,
= The law of craft and force,
May gather in the dollars
Regardless of their source,
But there is greater comfort
In humber walks to keep
Ones that don't jar your conscienSce
Or juggle with your sleep.
1t may not be good business
To let dollar slip
When you could wink at honor
And on 1t get a grip,
But there is more contentment
To take a lesser share,
To do without the million
And know you're on the square.
