Cherries Rotting on the
Trees

A number Of inquiries we're re-
oeived lately by tho Division of Zool
ogy Of the Pennsylvania d psrimens
Of Agriculture for = formula for q
spraying mixture 20 be used on peach
plum and cherry trees to keep sha
fruit from rotting. The answer Of
Prof H. A. Surface, the State 2 ,ol.
ogist, is MS follows:
"The ripe rot or brown rot Is due
10 fungous disease, which attacks
ths ripeniug fruit of peach, plum
and cherry trees. and is to be pre-
vented by spraying before or abo, I
the time the fruit is half Arown with
the self boiled lime sulphur wash
IDto barrel put eight pounds ot
fresh lime or quick lime and eight
pounds of sulphur, and into this pour
four or fve gallons of hot water, and
cover it with q cloth to keep In the
heat. Stir occasionally with a hoe
or something to keep it from burning
20 the bottom and TO keep it from
settling too much. Let it remain an
hour. Then dilute it to fifty gal.
Ions, and spray il over the trees.
Cold water should he used for dilut-
ing. Repeat this after bard rain,
or if it does not rain repeat in a week
or two, and continue until Just be-
fore the fruit commences to ripen,
when there is no need to continue
the spraying, because TO spray it en-
ripsning frui. means TO discolor II .
fruit and thus render it unmarked.
able, although it will not be poison
Gus, and will not be unfit for usc,
even though it should be stained by
the spray liquid.
This self-boiled linc-su' phur wash
is not recommended for scale insects,
and it is not TO be replaced by the
concentrated lime-sulphur solutions
now on the market, nor by the home
boiled wash which we recommend as
the best and cheapest material ior
treating scale insects. 1t is differ
eut preparation, made by a different
formula and method. and those mat.
erials should not be confused.

cash, but majority of electors may
adopt by vote = work tax. Town
ships which collect cash tax shall

more than $50 for q mile Of road.
The township must be divided into
road districts of not less than Eve
miles, and roadmaster for each dis
triot may be employed-who shall
DO the work under plans and specifi-
cations furnished by supervisors and
must work himself if go directed.
Tho supervisors may make contracts
for keeping in repair not more than

Supervisors may oversee and work

Automobile Law

Huddy on Automobiles. Second
edition. Matthews Bender & Com
paDy, Albany, New York.
In their prospectus Of this work the
publishers suggest that while they do
not cove: the title Of "prophet ofin,"
they estimate that during 1909 over
500 persons will be killed by automo.
biles and about 1000 injured. They
further call attention to the fact that
In thirty.two Of the larger cities, in
one year, 14O people were killed and
$40 Injured, and in $50 smaller towns
l64 persons were killed and 6o4 were
injured. They add:
with the sales of automobiles in
crsasing 30 rapidly each year, il the
same disregard for the safety Of 9th.
ers continues to be shown by auto
mooilists, the magnitude of the
amount Of injury caused throughout
the country will be appalling"
Assuming that their figures and
sxpectations are based upon an ap-
proximatsly accurate investigation,
it is manifest that the law governing
the legal rights and liabilities of per.
sons owning and using automobiles
is ono OF growing Importance.
Since the publication of the first
edition of this work, the law on the
subject has developed to marked
degree many interesting and import
ant questions have been settled by
courts of last resort, and q large
amount Of legislation governing auto
mobDing has been enacted. The
necessity for second edition arose
from this development.
On comparing this volume with
the fret edition, we are impressed
with the growth Of the subject.
Many Of the chapters, as those which
treat Of the rights and liabilities Of
automobile drivers, meeting and pas
sing, duty to stop, dangers of auto
mobile driving, defending speed
cases, chaulfeur's authority 10 bind
his employer, and taxioabs, appear
to be entirely new.
The author has sought, not mere
ly TO state the legal principles govern
ing the subject, but 10 interpret the
trend OF judicial development. Ths
nrSt edition was well received, and
We bslisVa that the second will be
heartily welcomed. We regard it as
much the more valuable and useful
book.
