REMOVE ALL FRUIT MUMMIES
Withered Peaches Should 30 Re-
moved From Trees Just as Soon
as Can Be Seen and Burned

After all the fruit has ripened and
gone and the leaves have fallen there
will still remain on many of the
peach trees the dried up remains of
peaches. These dry, withered peaches
are called mummies, probably be-
cause they are dead and yet seem to
exist long time without rotting.
Mummied peaches will hang on the
tree all fall and winter, and often till
far into the following spring, when
the new growing buds and shoots
push them off. To all appearances
they are harmless.
But the mummy on the peach tree
is source of great evil in the fruit
orchard business; on its sunken hide
1t carries hundreds of thousands of
spores of disease. Next year these
spores, if allowed to remain in the or
chard, will be carried by wind. rain
and other agencies to other trees, to
cause the growing and ripening crop
to rot. Many years the peach trees
sets and grows to maturity, the
peaches begin to color and ripen,
when all at once, within a few days
time, they all begin to rot. Almost be-
fore we know 1t all of the peaches on
all of the trees in the orchard have
rotted. Where there was prospect for
a large and valuable crop of perfect
peaches now is only more than worth
less rotten trash, and all has hap
pened before we could help ourselves.
The remedy for disease in the or
chard caused by spores is spraying
and washing with Bordeaux mixture.
This mixture will kill and keep in
check nearly all fungous diseases if
the treatment is given in the right
way and at the right times. OF course
1t is needless to make the applications
after the disease, or rot, has once got
ten under way, any more than it is
to give medicine to a sick animal
when 1t is dying. The disease must
be taken in time and the medicine
given in the early stages, If it is to do
much good, and prevention is better
than cure.
The peach mummies should be re-
moved from the peach trees just as
soon in the fall as the falling of the
leaves will permit all of them to be
seen. Every one of them should be
Immediately burned to get them out
of the way and to kill the spores adj
herring to them to prevent them fly
ing in the air of the orchard and
causing the next seasons crop of
peaches to rot. If this is promptly
and carefully done every year-in
your own orchard and in your neigh
5ors'-there will be less rotten fruit.
