The first appearance OF the disease 10
usually in the tops of the trees and is
easily recognized by the dying of the
leaves and branches A more careful
examination will show a canker on the
branch beyond which the parts are dead
or dying. This canker Is at first small,
but gradually enlarges in all directions
until it completely girdles the branch
and causes death of the part beyond the
point OK attack The canker Is at first
black, becomes gradually sunken be-
low the general surface of the bark, then
roughened and eventually covered with
small orange-colored papillae. This lat
ter condition Is most noticeable in rainy
weather. These papillae contain the
spores of fruit which when dry are car
red by the wind to other parts of this
same and neighboring trees. They are
frequently carried for very long dl4-
tances. Eventually eankers may be
formed on the trunk resulting in the
death of the entire tree
When trees are ot'y slightly affected
the diseased parts should be pruned out
and burned and the wounds painted. The
fungus will continIe to live and fruit
on dead wood, therefore, great care
should be taken to remove and burn all

spores OF the fungus will be destroyed.
When trees are seriously affected it IL
much better to cut them down and burn
the affected parts. The fungus does not
penetrate the wood which makes it pos
sible to remove the bark from the trunks
and larger branches and thus save the
wood for farm use. The bark should 80

years. but when the trees approach
maturity and are in full bearing the

retard their growth is pretty certain

Chairman Penrose of the senate

am sticking to prediction made long
since that we shall adjourn either on
Saturday, July 29, or Saturday, Aug.
S, by which time we shall have voted
upon and passed the reciprocity bill
and voted upon the free list and wool
bills"
Mr.. Penrose said there has been no
especial efforts to expedite the con-
sideration of the reciprocity bill on
the presidents Mayflower trip.
There was nothing fixed on the
trip" said Senator Penrose. "All the
members of the party are friends of
reciprocity and there was no mission
airy work to do. Neither was there
any planning, for there is no doubt as
to the outcome"
He said the affair was of a purely
social nature and that despite the heat
the party had thoroughly enjoyable
time At the PSYCHOLOGICAL moment
Mr.. Penrose will renew his request
for unanimous consent to fix day to
vote on the reciprocity bill and also
for days to vote on the two tariff bills
