Prof. w. H. Lawrence OF the state
experiment station has issued Bulletin
No. ~, on "Anthracnose of the Black
berry and Raspberry which shows
careful and conscientious study OF
this disease. We are giving the
cause and cures as described by
Prof Lawrence but the bulletin is
too large for publication in full. Ber-
ry growers should be on the lookout
and if trace of this disease is dis
covered should send at once for the
complete bulletin which is furnished
free.
THE NATURE AND CAUSE OF
ANTHRACNOSE
This disease, which is commonly
known by the popular name of an.
thracnose, is caus ed by very small
form of fungus (Gloeosporium vene-
tum), consisting of two parts-the
mycelium and the spores. The way
in which the fungus passes the win
ter is not known. 1t probably lives
in the canes and fragments Of leaves
that remain in the field after pruning
is done. From field observation on
the blackberry, the disease attacks the
stems, leaves and fruit during the
spring. The spread of the disease is
caused by the distribution of the
spores. Some of the spores lodge on
the host plants. When the climate
conditions are favorable, the spores
germinate and form the mycelium,
which penetrates the tissue of the
stems, leaves and fruit, causing
spots on them. The mycelium soon
gives rise to large number of short
branches just beneath the thin outer
coat (epidermis). Spores are borne
on thesbranches. When they form,

are carried about by the wind and
other agents. Some of them are sure
to lodge on the various parts of the

cester they opened a first class hair
dressing establishment and barber
shop on Main street, where, through
their business tact, cOngenial manner
and first class workmanship, they es-
tablished q growing trade among the
better class Of whites. In order to
meet the demands Of the trade they
employed several helpers, and In nine
years they were compelled to move into
larger quarters, where they could bet
ter accommodate their customers. Mr..
CoShburn also conducted a doll hos
pital for repairing broken dolls. He
was known throughout New England
as the doll hospital doctor and expert
Wigmaker.

In an address at the Bridge Street
A. N. E church, Brooklyn, upon the
occasion Of the annual visit OF the Of
icials and a group Of children from
the Brooklyn Howard Colored Orphan
asylum in the latter part OF December
the Rev. James II. Gordon, superin-
tendent OF the asylum, said:
There are some Of our churches 30
narrow that they won't let Us In be-
cause their denomination does not
run the institution. We have had q
great struggle this year. Out Of the
1,4O0 children who have passed
through the institution In the past
twelve years only six have died. Some
Of these people who come up to the
asylum in their automobiles find all
sorts Of fault, and believe it Is just
because it is a Negro institution.
Stand on your feet, make sacrifices
and let these white people see that
you appreciate your own and are
willing to help them. These children
have raised $500 worth Of stun on
the farm this year. We have 6 horses,
40 hogs, 175 fowls and % head OF cat
tie. We have raised $3.50 bushels Of
potatoes, 1000 cabbages, 1900 bushels
Of turnips and beets. You can see that
these children are well fed. They get
more than bread.
what we want to do is to build a
mighty industrial school at st. James,
N. Y, where we can shelter 1000
waits from the streets and give them
various trades and means Of living"
A collection Of $6S.63 was taken up
for the institution.

Past Errors Should Not ovsrtop Moral
Victory Of Union Army.
Why Is II that the people Of the
south refuse TO abandon the pernicious
principles that almost wrecked the
American Union In 1861? And why is
1t that great many people in the
north encourage them To perpetuate
those principles: u T. iC!e and foolish
to say that the men who fought to
maintain slavery ard wreck a nation
believed that thc- we're right. They
knew that they were w9orc. and any
statement to the contr.ry Is an insult
to their intelligence.
All over the south and In some places
In the north there are Cr.a.,izltions in
existence that have no ether motive
than extolling the treason Of 1851.
Worst Of all, many public speakers Of
prominence have so far forgotten them
selves as to laud the disloyalty Of such
characters as Jeff Davis. The blue
and the gray are referred to I'm equal
terms Of praise when as a matter Of
fact they should never be mentioned
In the same breath. Is there any equal
ity between George Washington and
Benedict Arnold?
There Is no doubt that any praise OF
the latter would bring forthaa volley
Of criticism, and II Is certain that be
viii never be set up as an example for
the guidance Of American youth. The
tendency to encourage the perpetual
don Of principles that are known to be
wrong is only delaying the consum-
nation Of real democracy In America.
However desirable it may be to win
the good win OF the south, this should
not be accomplished by pralsing the
southern people for their past errors.
II maudlin sentiment for dIsloyalty
Is to be allowed to discount the great
moral victory Of the Union army we
may well stop and wonder why so
much blood was spilled in vain.-Yon-
