JAPANESE PERSIMMONS
The Propagation and General Management of Fruit That
Succeeds Well i'm Semi Tropical Latitudes.
By F. III. BURNETT

abundant, hardy, and rapid in growth,
it leaves little to be desired as stock.
The common method of propagation is
to whip graft upon the whole root, about
two inches below the surface of the
ground. This is practically the only
method used on large commercial scale
in persimmon nurseries. This is done
very early in the season before growth
starts, usually in January, sometimes
later. Some growers do not wax the
graft, only using common twine to tie,
in order to hold the parts in close con-
tact and adjustment, the twine decay
ing by the time that a union is establish
ed. In fact, any method of underground
grating may be used with success.
The persimmons do not take very kind
ly to methods of budding. It is true
that some propagatcrs bud and are quite
successful with them, but it requires
every care and attention, with many
risks to run and dangers to overcome
Planting and Care.
Plenty of room should always be
given, usually twenty to twenty five feet
apart.
There are a few points in the care of
the Japanese persimmon tree that need
emphasizing. They should be set young,
and great care should be exercised that
the setting be given closest attention.
Being a pronounced tap-rooted plant, the
necessity of great care in setting is ap-
parent The roots should never be al
lowed to become exposed to the air and
sun. and in setting, the mellow moist
earth should be we'll irmed around them.
Too much emphasis cannot be placed
upon the need of setting young trees,
and not resetting them, unless the neces-
sity for doing SO is beyond adjusting.
Good clean culture is all that is re-
quired, the same that is given in any
complete manure may be used. A good
crop of cow peas turned under every
two or three years will be highly bene-
fetal. No experiments have been under
taken to find out the exact fertilizer re-
quirements, but it is believed we'll
balanced fertilizer, suitable for orchard
purposes, should be the one used.
During the first three years the growth
of the tree should be watched in order
to build systematYcal upright tree.
This is not easy, for some of the varie-
ties spread too much, and the leading up
right branches are often overloaded and
become broken easily, or are headed
back by careless removal of fruit. Ordi
narily, after they begin to bear, there
is little need of pruning. The tendency
to overbear is SO strong, that new wood
is not produced in abundance, and the
tree becomes dwarf like. Systematic
thinning of the fruit is necessary to con-
troll this, as it will not do to leave the
thinning to natural causes, and depend
upon the tree to throw off all the fruit
that it can not we'll take care of. The

duced into this country by the United
States Department of Agriculture, large
ly through the efforts of Prof. Ell. E. Van
Deman, while he was in charge of the
pomological work of that department.
They were grown in various sections,
but it was soon found that they would
not thrive we'll very far north of the
36th degree of latitude, hence they have
been grown to some extent, more as
curiosity or novelty than as commercial
product. A zero temperature is very in
furious to them-in many cases fatal.
In Japan, as a fruit, they have the
same standing that apples possess i'm the
Northern United States, nence are OF
great economic Importance. They are
grown in great abundance, and are put
to many and varied uses The Japanese
methods of treatment to correct the as
tringent qualities of the unripe fruit are
not fully understood in America, but in
vestigations now in progress WIFI deter
mine the steps that are necessary to &C
complish this object, and one of the
greatest drawbacks to the growing of the
fruit will thus be eliminated.
Being so very prolific, easily grown,
and having such excellent qualities for
transportation, there should be nothing
to hinder the extension of their culture
for the Northern markets as well as for
local consumption.
1t is confidently believed, that easy
and successful treatment will be brought
out. that will correct the astringency of
the fruit before softening, and thus pre-
sent a fruit that is healthy and luscious
and capable of being put to large num-
Der of uses.
Ordinarily, the Japanese persimmon
does not grow to be large tree. Occa-
sionally, however, a good-sized tree may
be seen. Being such abundant bearers,
the drain upon the tree serves to curtail
the growth, and some of the varieties are
little better than dwarfs. The foliage is
generally a dark myrtle green and gives
the tree value as an ornamental.
The fruit varies in size, color, earliness
of maturity, astringency, flavor and tex
ture. Some are fiat, others long, others
round. Some are yellow feshed, others
orange others tending to dark red with
brown streaks. Some are edible when
yet green, others are slightly astringent,
others very astringent. Some ripen early
tree almost to January. No fruit is
more variable in all of these points, and
up to the present there has been no class
ification of the fruit that is perfectly
satisfactory.
Methods of Propagation.
The universal practice in the propaga-
tion of Japanese persimmons now, is to
use seedlings of our native species for
stock. At first they were grown on their
own roots, but the abundance of native,
hardy stock was taken advantage of, and
is now used 1t is said that in Japan,
the Chinese persimmon is often used, be-
ing harder than the Japanese. The
Japanese persimmOns work readily upon

the proper amount.
The Fruit and It's Treatment.
AS some of the varieties are edible be-
fore becoming soft, that is, they are
not astringent, it follows that in the
event of Northern market, these varl-
cites would be the most desirable to
grow. To one not acquainted with per-
simmons, single effort to eat an un-
ripe specimen would be sufficient to pre-
vent any expansion of the market. 1t
has been found that in Japan the as
tringent varieties are subjected to a
method of treatment, by which the hard
unripened fruit is confined in sealed re-
ceptacles for certain periods of time,
after which upon removal, it is found
that their astringency has disappeared
It has been found, too, that subjecting
the astringent fruit to the fumes of GER
tain chemicals will accomplish the same
purpose.
The treatment of the astringent fruit
in order to correct the astringency is
problem that will be successfully solved
in the very near future, thus removing
the greatest hindrance to the growing of
Japanese persimmons, and the further
expansion of an excellent market for
them.
AS a fruit they are rich in sugar, the
different chemical analyses showing an
average of about l6 per cent for the
cultivated varieties. While this is slight
ly less than the percentage of sugar in
our native varieties, it is much greater
than the amount found in apples, which
average less than per cent. An alco-
holic beverage is made from them in
Japan' Enemies and Diseases.
There are comparatively few enemies
and diseases of a very serious nature
that attack the Japanese persimmon.
There are several leaf diseases which
nearly defoliate the trees late in the
season. AS this occurs really about the
time the leaves begin 60 fall little dam
age is DONE Some varieties are much
more resistant to fungus diseases than
others. The seasons also vary, and some
years the diseased leaves are hardly no.
ticeable In the event of serious trouble
from leaf destroying diseases, there is
always remedy at hand in the Bor-
deaux Mixture, which is universally used
for the purpose of preventing or check
ing them.
Among the insect pests, the Twig Cir
dler (Oncideres clngulatus) is the one
most frequently heard from. The fe-
male beetle, which is about one-half an
inch long, and of a dark gray-brown
color, deposits her eggs near the end of
the young twigs, and girdles the twi G
below them.
In due time the twig dies, breaks off
and the young hatch and come out. The
remedy is to gather the twigs and burn
them, not very difficult task to do,
and if the fallen leaves and broken twigs
be raked and burned from each tree,
not only will the Twig Girdler be under
control, but the leaf diseases also will
be held in check
By far the most serious pest with us
has been the mocking bird. At the time
the Japanese persimmons are beginning
to mature, there is a scarcity of food for
them and they injure great many

MILK
KILLS Off BABES

SACRAMENTO, December 24.-In
California steps have been taken to
prevent the destruction of adult lives
through infection from tuberculosis of
dairy animals and milk, but practical
ly none have been taken to prevent
the killing off of hundreds OF infants
annually by the feeding to them of
foods from unsanitary and tubercular
infected dairies There are local laws
to regulate neighboring dairies, but no.
thing to prevent dairymen from ship
ping in their unhealthy product from
diaries that are not inspected.
These and some other startling OBJ
servations are made by Dr.. Charles f..
Keane, the State Veterinarian, in his
annual report, which was submitted to
Governor Gillett today.
DIR. Keane says that if the movement
to eXterminate bovine tuberculosis is
to be conducted with any degree of
success California must insist on its
diaries being cleaned up. The dairies'
interests must be educated I'D to a
realizatlo of the economic Importance
of the disease and that dairymen must
be shown that it is Improbable to
harbor tuberculosis cows in a herd.
Continuing, he says
HOGS MUCH INFECTED.
The improvement of our milk sup
ply has not only for it's object the
eradication of tuberculosis, but also
the subject of cleanliness in dairies.
1t has been demonstrated that the
commonest mode for the discharge of
tubercle bacilli from the bodies of
cows is from their faces. 1t is in this
way that the disease is communicated
to hogs among which animals there
has been an alarming increase of tu-
tberculosis.
1T has also been demonstrated that
tine sediment taken from cream separ-
atOrs often contains bacilli, the milk
coming from tubercular cows. Hogs
are fed on this separator milk and if
it is contaminated with the bacilli,
they readily contract the disease. Hogs
are peculiarly susceptible TO the dis
ease, and it is no uncommon thing for
considerable number of hogs to be
condemned out of one shipment"

and in cows is identical, thus dis
agreeing with a great German scien-
fist, who disputed that theory. the
only difference is in certain morpho-
logical characteristics of the tubercle
bacilli. This difference does not pre-
vent it, however, from being trans
mitted to human beings who drink in
fected milk.
A plea is made in the report for
large appropriations for the work of
the State Dairy Bureau. The bureau
is not supplied with sufficient re sour
ces to properly control the work of sa-
IMITATION. If the scope of the bureau
could be enlarged there could be in
spection of dairies to prevent them
from being maintained in a more or
less filthy condition.
CORRAL MILKING CONDEMNED.
THE all-important matter of sufi-
Gent light, ventilation and drainage
in the dairies is utterly neglected, y
the report says. The matter of corral
milking cannot be too strongly con-
demned. In order to cope with tuber-
culosis and exterminate it, it is essen
tial that the environment of the cows
should be regulated first. This can
only be accomplished by adequate leg
islation and constant official supervi-
sion."
In the other departments of his work
DIR. Keane says that his force, made
quate as it is, has been successful in
fighting cattle, hog and sheep dis
eases particularly with respect to the
! cattle tick and sheep scab diseases.
Chambers, he says exists among the
horses of several counties and as it is
communicable to man he advocates
special efforts to eradicate it.
