coarse fruit is apt to be produced, as

Gummosis is dangerous disease. It
spreads slowly. 1t is rather harmless in
appearance at first; but if unmolested
it will eventually girdle the branches
and kill the tree. 1t will pay to care
fully examine the trunks and larger
branches of your trees for the scaly ap-

patches may or may not show an exuda-
ton of gum. If you find such, scrape
off the outer diseased bark and paint the
places with Avenarius' carbolineum.

If your fruit has shown the presence
fruits should be picked up and destroyed

The chinaberry and umbrella trees
have been proven to be menace to
citrus culture. Have you cut your trees
down yet?
Are you going to introduce the fungus
into your fly infested grove? Arrange
ments in regard to supplies of fungus
should be made early. For since much
of the previous summers crop of fungus
either became badly weathered or peels
off during the winter, and very little or
no new fungus develops during that
time, it may be difficult to get large
quantities readily The fungus may be
introduced in April if the weather is
favorable.

Plants should be sown with reference
to their size and habits of growth;
some require distance, and others thrive
better when planted close together. The
gardener must know his plants as the
farmer does his field crops.

Melanose.

trees No organism has been proved to
be the cause of this disease Under the
microscope, it nearly always shows the
development of corky layer of cells
just beneath the epidermis, which indi-
Gates some outside influence as causing
the trouble The disease is associated
with a weakened condition of the tree,
and has been found to reach its greatest
development on neglected trees, or on
those otherwise diseased.
Remedy.
In 1894, Swing1e and Webber found
that melanose could be controlled by the
use of Bordeaux mixture or anmOnlacal
solution of copper carbonate. They ad-
vised two sprayings, 'the first about two
weeks after the flowers have fallen, and
the second about a month later. A
Vermorel nozzle, and a pump giving
good spray, should be used. The spray
must be applied to the fruits in the form
of a fine mist covering them thinly and
evenly" Since these sprays are fungi
cides, they will kill off the natural fun
gus enemies of the purple scale and
allow this scale to develop Hence these
sprayings should be followed at intervals
with some good insecticide until the
friendly fungi have returned.
Symptoms.
Melanose is found on nearly all varie-
ties of citrus It's effects extend to only
a small distance beneath the skin. II
harms the fruit by the markings, which
cause such oranges or grapefruit to be
graded as second class. The disease
shows light brown to black, more or less
rounded or conical elevations from the
epidertnis. These elevations vary in size
from mere points to one-sixteenth of an
inch in diameter. In gross appearance
they are much like specks of burned
sugar. They sometimes run together,
forming irregular raised areas. FIRE.
quently there is an arrangement OF the
elevations in curves that may meet form
ing rings.
The markings on the fruit are not so
much raised as those on the stems and
leaves. The margins of many will be
seen under a hand lens to have broken
away from the surrounding healthy tis-
sue, and the Wax-like mass to have
Shrunk towards the center, forming
scale-like body. This appearance has
caused the disease to be sometimes mis-
taken for San lose scale. In other cases
the cracks occur in lines like the crack
ing of dry mud. In many cases no
cracking at all occurs.
The markings on the leaves and young
branches are more raised, and usually do
not have the scaly appearance often seen
on the fruit They frequently run to-
gether, the stems being more or less
completely covered The elevations ap-

DID POISON CAUSE DEATH

Portland, Ore, March 9.-A clinical
examination of a small portion Of the
contents of the stomach from the body
of Mrs. Edith Pepoon, completed by
DR.. Ralph G. Matson and DR.. George
Cathey, of Portland, resulted in the
recovery of more than one grain of
strychnine, a dose which is consid-
cred fatal.
When the balance of the matter
shall have been tested, 1t is believed
that the physicians will discover that
the woman was given enough of the
drug to kill several persons.
Mrs. Edith Pepoon met her death
in a cabin on a homestead situated
six miles from Northport, in Stevens
County, Wash, and it is alleged that
the drug was administered in mix
ture prepared by her husband, Geo.
L. Pepoon and Ray Wilcox, and while
she was entertaining number OF
callers with organ music.

such a route was in existence, the

Members of the Geographic Society

to receive them in conference, and
has made it known that unless the
Peary proofs are forthcoming to their
full satisfaction, every bill introduced
to reward the discoverer will be
pigeonholed.
Commander Peary declines to sub.

ACTION TO CLEAR TITLES
Points Out Way for State to Relieve
Issue.

BOISE.-The state land board at
recent meeting requested the secre-
tary of the Interior Department to
clearlist the Marble Creek lands, val
ued at s750,000 to 100000 to the
state, precluding all hope of the set
tiers acquiring title under their ad-
verse claims. This decision results
from one of the most remarkable in
cidents in the history Of Idaho juris-
prudence, wherein a court, while liti-
CATION is pending before it, points out
way by which the executive officials
of the state can relieve the court and
all connected with the case of en-
barrassment.
When title to the Marble Creek
lands is once so vested in the state,
the issue in the Marble Creek cases
will no longer exist. The court, in
its opinion, held that the state land
board has no power to relinquish
lands, title to lands actually patented
can only be questioned by the gov
eminent, and the question of claims
to this land adverse to the state
would therefore be once and for al
determined.

STRIKE EXTENDS
IN PHILADELPHIA
HUGE WALKoUT BEGINS IN UGLY
FASHION.
10000 UNION MEN INVOLVED
President Taft May Be Importuned
to Bring an End to All.
Differences.

PHILADELPHIA, March 7.-Disor
der in many parts of the city marked
the opening Of Philadelphia's great
sympathetic walkout to back up the
fight of the trolleymen.
Although the entire population Of
the city looks upon the strike as a
most serious affair, the city officials,
from Mayor Reyburn down, declare
the walkout is not as widespread as
is asserted by the labor leaders.
The committee of Ten of the Cen
trail Labor Union, which is conduct
ing the strike, in statement given
out through Secretary Hope, of the
Central Labor Union, said that TO-
600 union men are out and that the
walkout has affected 10000 other
workers.
Various Industries Unaffected.
However, with all the conflicting
reports, 1t was evident that all of
Philadelphia's Industries are not pros
trated. Great industrial establish
ments, such as the Baldwin Locomo-
tive Works, Cramps Shipyards. Brll's
Car Works, the Midvale Steel Works,
all of which are "open-shop con-
cerns," were operating. The great
est number OF sympathetic strikers
was found among the textile workers
in the Kensington district.
Secretary Hope declared that bak-
ers, milk-wagon drivers and grocery
clerks were not called out, and would
not be. It was not the desire of Or
ganized labor, he said, to inconven-
fence the public to the extent OF
handicapping the delivery of the ne
cessities OF life.
Many believe the labor leaders will
request President Taft to use his in
fuence to bring an end to the trOu-
BILE or to take some step along the
lines adopted by President Roosevelt
in the coal strike of 1902
There was no talk of arbitration or
peace, and it is evident that large
employers are awaiting the events Of
the next few days before attempting
negotiations.

which the bodies will be taken to a

every body will be recovered this

All the wounded in the temporary
hospitals here are recovering. OF 700
sacks Of mail carried away by the

one mail car and seven clerks and
