an old tree which grew on his farm
upon a site desired for the location Of
barn, built the structure around the
tree. The barn wall completely cir

For the prevention of gray rot of
grapes one investigator recommends a
treatment which he claims is very sim
pie and efficient This consists of thin
ming the leaves on the north side Of
the vines and spraying with Bordeaux
mixture, to which soap is added to
make 1t more adherent. The treatment
should be made about July 25, or at the
stage when the grapes have just about
reached their full size. If the fungi
eide is thoroughly applied at this time
no further trouble may be anticipated
from this disease.
