and Cherries
Symptoms.

Symptoms.
Just about the time OF the ripening
OF the fruit of plums and cherries.
the fruit grower notices that trees
have ragged look and in many cases,
they lose their natural green color
and become a sickly yellow. III
leaf Is examined, IT Is found that II
Is thickly peppered with small. round
spots or In many cases, instead of
their being spot or dead area, there
Is nothing left but a circular hole In
the leaf. These are the symptoms OF
leaf spot OF plums and cherries or
as II Is sometimes called, the
"shot-hole" fungus disease. The cause
of this disease is a fungus and each
spot on the leaf is fungus colony.
A parasitic fungus is a plant which
gets it's food from other plants. In
other words, steals its living. Fungi
reproduce by minute bodies called
spores and these serve the purpose
Of spreading the fungus. These spores
are very small, light and are waited
about by small currents of air. When
spore falls upon leaf and is CIV
en- the right condition of moisture and
temperature, It terminates, enters the
leaf and causes the diseased area.
After making extensive growth In the
leaf, the fungus produces fruiting
bodies-more spores to blow about
and causes more leaf spots.
Loss.
The loss caused by this fungus is
one which is often overlooked by the
farmer although 1t Is usually a Sc
we're one. Since this attack, for the
most part, comes after the present
crop Of fruit is picked, the loss will
be noticed in the next years crop for
II is a well known fact that when
the leaves of tree are diseased, the
food-producing power of that tree Is
cut down. Given a tree with prac-
tically every leaf affected by this
leaf spot disease and you have a
tree with very small food-producing
power. There Will be very little food
stored up in the tissues and there
will, therefore, be weak growth next
spring and very poor crop of fruit.
Control.
To control this disease, one merely
needs to apply a fungicide to the
leaves and kill the spores or their
sprouts before they have chance
to enter the tissues. Bordeaux mix
ture has been used for a good many

WHITE PIMPLES ON HEAD

Ransom, Ill.-"The trouble started
on our baby when he was only about
two weeks old. Started like little
white pimples, looked like an old scab
Of blood and matter His whole head
was covered for few months, then It
went to his ear shoulders, and his
whole body. 1t seemed to come out
thick and sticky on his head. while
on the other parts Of his body It was
more like water coming out OF the
skin. He would scratch until the erup-
ton would be all covered with blood
and gradually spread. The least little
stir or rub would cause the sores to
bleed, spread and itch. Never had a
full nights sleep, restless all night.
THE sores were horrid to look at.
It lasted until he was about two and a
half years old. Then we saw an &C.

use -, but 1t did no good. Then
we used Cuticura Soap and Cuticura

years, end in many sections Is the
control measure relied upon. Recent
ly, selfiboiled lime-sulphur has been
suggested IN place of Bordeaux mix
ture in order to avoid the burning
which frequently follows the use of
the copper fungicide. The depart
ment of horticulture at NJ. A. G. has
found that for cherries and plums
(other than the Japanese varieties)
diluted lime-sulphur is very salts
factory and is to be preferred to
either Bordeaux or self-boiled lime
sulphur. The time of application for
plums as taken from the spraying
calendar IL as follows: Just before
the buds swell:' Immediately after
the blossoms fall' and ten days or
two weeks later.' For cherries, use
the mixtures mentioned above. Just
before the blossom opens;' just after
the blossoms fall;' and, ten days or
two weeks later and II may be neces-
