DISEASE OF
CHESTNUT TREES

Within the past few years an en-
tirely new disease of the common
chestnut tree has appeared. Is lie
evidently spreading in hIl directions
from the neiRhboFho0d Of New York
City whore IL was flrst observed. On
LoOR Island, Southern Connecticut
and Northern New Jersey Il has
proved 40 virulent that nearly all
the chestnut trees are affected, ana
many Of them have already died.
In Pennsylvania it Is quite abun-
dant throughout the eastern coun-
ties. but In, the central and western
portions Of tbs state It Is still either
lacking or but sparlneIy distributed.
Like all other plant diseases 1t doubt.
less has It's limitations and It is not
likely that 1t will thrive In all sec
tions where the chestnut tree grows.
1t is not unlikely that II may have
already nearly reached the limit OF
its extension,
However, that may be, It is well
worth the attention of all who have
chestnut trees or timber. A strong
effort should be made 10 arrest the
progress of the disease 40 soon as Il
appears. This is not specially diff
cult; and now, before the leaves fail,
is the time to do it. When a tree is
attacked and becomes infested the
fungus rapidly spreads in the bark
and growing wood OF twigs and
branches. 1t progresses so fast that
these parts in larger or smaller
patches are soon disorganized, killed
and somewhat shrunken. The leaves
which depend upon these parts for
their water and food supply wither
and shrivel, but do not fall These
twigs cT branches with their at
tached dead leaves are very plainly
seen in contrast with the. natural
ones and mark the presence Of this
particular disease. or course, branch
es may die from other causes partio-
ularly attacks Of boring insects, and
mechanical breaksge, but she differ
ence is not difficult to detect.
II during the next six weeks &
careful examination is made for this
disease, particularly west Of the Sus'
quehanna, and in sections not yet
known to be infested. it is probable
that It can be arrested or even entire,
~ prevented.
Affected limbs should be cut of
we'll below the dead wood and
burned. ANY trees, the trunks Of
which are diseased should be cuI
down and the bark and branches
burned. The wood could be used fol
any purpose desired; 1t will MOI
spread the disease.
While the State Forestry Depart
ment is personally directing work o
this kind 1t behooves every individ
ual TO exert himself Immediately
and cooperate for the common good
Within the sections named cOmpletl

the gap evidently with intent of bodily assault. But
Carters plans did not contemplate personal combat
with the savage, rough hsted young horseman. He
checked his pace further though evidently with great
difficulty, and bawled his answer unsteadily, reeling
from side to side:

later time'-

OF the purpose and nature of the Frenchman. Clas-

heavy handed, hard muscled and not too critical.

he had cracked German army officers skull with a

Carter remembered now that this was what he had
tried to remember concerning De Garenne. During
the preceding spring there had been formal announce
ment of match between Sylvia Sluyt and the count
at Nice. About month later it had been as formally
Cancelled. The affair had occasioned the usual com

causes that send up the price of milk.
The high cost Of beef often makes 1t
profitable for q farmer to fatten up his

for they cost much less than western cat
