TO SET YOUNG FRUIT TREES
Just as Well to Dig New Holes In
Space Between Old Ones After
Latter Have Been Cut.

. It would do no harm to set young
fruit trees in the holes where the old
ones are taken out, but, other things
being equal, it would be just as well
to dig new holes in the spaces be-
tween the old trees after they have
been cut down or pulled up. Answer
ing a question along this line, the
Rural New Yorker advises digging a
wide hole two feet or more a diameter
and eight to twelve inches deep, as
may be needed, placing the rich or
top soil in one pile and the subsoil
In another.
Cut out all broken or injured roots
from the trees to be set, and freshen
the ends of the sound roots with a
slanting cut from below upward, so
that the fresh surface will lest on the
soil. When the roots are in their
natural position, set the trees in the
center Of the hole and carefully fill
in around the roots with the best of
the top soil taken out, sitting 1t from
the edge of the shovel and working it
between the rows with the fingers,
shaking the tree meanwhile to get the
earth in every crevice between the
roots.

While the percentage of deaths from
tuberculosis compared with other dis
eases is not higher in the churches,
according to these figures, than in the
country at large, the tuberculosis
death rate, as shown by the church
returns, is higher per thousand COM
municants than that for the general
population in the registration area of
the United States, which the census
bureau gave as 1877 In 1909.

weather that the most serious trouble
seems attributable. With low tenn
peratures and frequent rains during
the early half of that month we may
safely predict an outbreak of leaf
curl. During such weather the fungus
develops rapidly and the new leaves
are effected as they are protruded
from the bud. In a modified sense
the same takes place during May and
in a still more limited sense during
June. Successful prevention of leaf
curl is secured by thorough early treat
ment with bordeaux mixture. Indeed,
it appears that a spraying at any time
shortly before the blossoms open is
several times more effective than any
application afterward. 1t appears
that more effective results are secured
by spraying two weeks before bios
soming than Immediately before the
blossoms open. In any event an ap-
~plication made just before the bios
SONS open is more effective than at
any later date. Lime sulphur appli-
cations for scale insects are effective
to prevent le%af-curl.

DISEASES OF PEACH
Brown Rot Among Most Destructive
Of Fungi on Trees-Prevails
During Warm Weather.
CBy r. q. wEATHERsroNE)

(By r. G.. wEATHERSTONE)
The brown rot fungus Is among the
most destructive of the fungi or the
peach, yielding place only at times to
leaf-curl. Unlike leaf-curl the brown
rot prevails during warm, showery
weather, and with such a weather
period is likely to occur at any time
of the year.. In April, If the mummy
peaches are permitted to remain on
the trees from the preceding year.
the fungus may affect the twigs
through the blossoms and thus cause
serious twig blight. 1t is a matter OF
common remark that the branches
upon which rotted peaches are found
often perish from effect of the rot
fungus. The survival Of the fungus in
these mummy" fruits and the pro-
duction of ascospores from them are
well proven. No one variety seems
more susceptible to rot than others,
although some sorts are more liable
to ripen during rainy weather and
then rot worse. The control of rot
demands: First, careful removal and
destruction of all mummy rotted
peaches in which the fungus survives;
second, thorough spraying of the
trees before blossoming as for leaf
curl; third, subsequent spray treat
ment with self-boiled limesulfur may
be profitable under certain conditions.
The leaf-curl fungus is at times one
of the serious pests of the peach
grower. However destructive leaf
curl does not occur every ear The
curl fungus survives in the buds from
