Oregon Agricultural College. Cor
Wallis, Oregon, Nov. "a Bacterial

and assistant In plant pathology at
the Oregon Agricultural College.
Mr.. Griffin's article is prelim.
mary report Of some of the results
of investigations which he carried on
In the department of botany and plant
pathology at o. A. C.
Certain varieties of the cultivated
sweet cherries found in the Pacific
Northwest are very subject to a dis.
eased condition which is commonly
known as cherry gummosis,'" saws
Mr.. Griffin. THE disease is charac.
terized by more or less copious exu.
dalton of gum from the trunk.
branches, spurs and buds as we'll as
by a pustulated appearance of the
bark near the diseased areas. Often
but little gum is exuded, but in such
cases an examination of the affected
trees generally discloses discolored
tissues which are infiltrated with
gum. Such areas are spongy to the
touch and are usually discernible by
the variation in color of the bark as
compared with that of the normal.
Cherry gummosis appears in both
a localized and generalized form. In
the former, the disease is apparently
confined to rather limited areas on
the trunk or branches, such areas be-
ing most often associated with
blighted spur or bud. In the general
lied form, large areas of the trunk or
branch may become involved, and it
often results in complete girdling
This latter type of gummosis often
appears to originate in the crotch of
the tree"

REDEDiCATioN AND
OLD HOME DAY.
There Will Be Double Attraction at
East kitiingy on Sept. 8 and a.

It is announced that the fedediea-
ton service at the Baptist church in
East lkillingly will be held on Sunday,
Sept. 50. and that Rev. A. B. Coats,
D. D., of Hartford, secretary of the
Baptist state convention, will preach
the sermon. AS the day following is
Labor day, it has been decided to
make this an Old Home day. with all
the festivities that such an event sug-
gests, so the double attraction is ex-
pected to lure. back many of the for
mer residents of the highland section
of the town.
Only $4,000 Increase in indebtedness.
1t will be good news to the citizens
of Eillingly to learn that the indebted
ness of the town will not be incFeas-
ed by much more than $4,000 during
the fiscal year about to close-the ex
act figures are not obtainable. This
showing may be regarded as excellent
in consideration of the facts of a linn
tied revenue and heavy expenditures,
including payment of the cost of state
road work and bridge repairs that have
been very expensive. For the year
ending July 81, 1910 there was an in
crease in the indebtedness over the
previous year of $10 854.97, making a
total Indebtedness of S193,o3e.S3, so
the showing this year may be regard
ed as very cfeditable to the selectmen.
