that | am almost overwhelmed. The
apple trees affected as described have
some form of canker. There are many
forms of canker, some OF which do
but little damage but some Will COM
pletely ruin the trees. What is called
the New York canker makes rough bark
upon the trees and does but little harm.
I have had more or less of this form
of canker in my orchards number OF
years but no harm comes of 1T. The
worst form of canker we have in the
Northwest is what is commonly called
the black spot canker which, if not
checked, will ruin the trees. Prof.
w. e. Lawrence of the state College
at Pullman but now in charge of the
branch experiment station at Puyal-
lup, some years ago made thorough
study of the black spot canker and
published bulletin on that subject
1t is fine treatment of that form OF
cankeI. | think anyone who will ad-
dress Prof. Lawrence at Puyallup and
ask for a copy of this bulletin will re-
ceive copy unless 1T is out of print.
All these cankers are fungous in
their nature. Ny opinion is that the
disease here described IS that mallg-
nant disease called the black spot
canker. 1t will ruin the trees and
spread to Others with like fatal result
unless it's spread is checked. The
first thing we want to know about
this canker is that it cannot be cured.
Now don't get alarmed at this state
ment and give up and conclude that
nothing can be done to stop its spread.
When it is said that it cannot be cur-
ed, we mean that when a spot is affect
ed with thissdisease, it will run it's

Canker on Fruit Trees.

f. e. Fairbanks, Selah, Yakima Co..
writes under date of Feb. %, as fol-
lows: "a wish you would answer
through the columns of The Ranch
the following questions: L have on
my place a few trees three years old
which are principally Winesaps that
were aft ected last year with disease
ON the side of the trunk of the tree;
the bark dried up and died. When
| noticed the disease | took my knife
and cut away the dead bark to where
the bark was green and found that the
new growth had started to cover up
the diseased part. Sometimes the
disease extended nearly around the
tree only leaving little new sap
growth not affected. Now the trees
made fair growth last year but the
dry, dead wood on the side is not set
covered by the new growth. Now,
what | want to know is, what is the
cause of this trouble? and what had
| better do with the trees. Will the
affected wood rot and weaken the tree?
Or had | better dig out and replant?
The orchard next to mine has pear
trees that. it is claimed, have pear
blight on the young trees. is there
any danger of it's spreading to adjoin-
ing pear trees? By answering the
above questions TIN ough your valuable
parer you will confer a great favor. "

we may use will not stop it, but it
lives only one year. So that the tree
will gradually heal over without very
serious consequences. What we must
do with our remedies is to prevent
new attacks. The diseased parts will
give off spores and if these are not
KILLED they will start new spots the
next spring. What we must do is not
to try to cure the diseased spots for
this cannot be done, but we can kill
the spores and thus prevent new at
tack and in this way finally get rid
of the malay altogether. The sover-
eign remedy for killing the spores of
fungi is sulphate of copper in some
form. The common name for sulphate
of copper is bluestone or blue vitriol.
This bluestone must be mixed with
lime, hence, the form in which it is
generally used is what is called the
Bordeaux mixture. Prof. Lawrence
in the bulletin referred to, recon-
mends spraying with double strength
Bordeaux in November and then to
repeat application two weeks after.
This if thoroughly applied, will kill
all the spores and as a result no fresh
attacks will occur the next spring.
These cankel ed spots, if not too
large, will finally heal over with no
serious damage to the tree. Do not
worry about the old spots but direct
your efforts to prevent new attacks.
If the spots have reached nearly
around the tree, then l would recon-
mend what is called bridge grating.
Friend Fairbanks certainly does not
realize the danger of pear blight to his
orchard. If there is any likelihood
that this is the real pear blight, call
in the fruit Inspector and have the
matter settled at once and then apply
the remedy till every vestige of the
terrible disease is destroyed. You can
not cure pear blight. No remedy In
the form of spray or dopes of any kind
can reach this malady. 1t is bacter-
ial disease and is in the sap and con
seouently can not be reached with
sprays. There is but one remedy and
that is to cut out the affected parts
and burn them as quickly as possible
In cutting off the affected limbs, you
must cut much below the affected
parts for the disease is spreading IL
the sap and does not Immediately show
on the outside OF the bark. You must
sterilize your knife by dipping it in
kerosene. In hot growing weather
this disease will spread with astonish
ing rapidity. Insects Will CARRY II
from one tree to another. l entreat
Mr.. Fairbanks to have this question
definitely settled whether this trouble
is pear blight and then have it stamp
ed out or the consequences will be
ruinous. If there is no fruit inspect
or available, write Prof. +. A. Hunt
lev, State Horticultural Commissioner
Kennewick WASH, and have him come
and help you. By great viligance on
the part of the county fruit inspectors
assisted by Prof. Huntly the pear
blight has been kept out of Yakima
county. But let it but once get gooc
start and then you may say good by'
to pear growing in that county. 1t II
possl bic that the trouble here referred
to may not be the pear blight but
