Since Is has been determined that

from the root system of the apparent
gals or hairy-root will not generally
free infected trees from the disease.
The immediate rejection and burn
ing of all trees and plants showing
crown gall or "hairy-root' is the only
safe recourse. The nurseryman is not
permitted. under the inspection laws,
to sell diseased trees; and further,
the purchaser should refuse all such
plainly affected trees.
All cases of crown gall coming to
the attention of orchardists should be
reported to the state nursery and or
chard inspector at the College of Ag-
riculture.

The serious nature crown gall in
the orchard was not fully appreciated
until recently when the government
experts working for years on the sub
ject proved beyond any doubt that
the crown gall and It's peculiar varia-
ton known as hairy root" is caused
by distinct minute organism which
Is readily communicable. By artificial
inoculations with this organism, the
distinctive gals have been produced
on wide range of trees. cane fruits,
weeds, and various root crops. More
recently, alfalfa and red clover were
found bearing these gals on their
roots.
Crown gall has proved a fatal dis
ease at various points in this state on
raspberry and blackberry plantations,
where entire patches had to be aban-
doned and the plants torn up and
burned Extreme damage to the cane
fruits by crown gall cannot be dis
puted. Some claim that it killed their
fruit trees but the exact extent of in
jury to the standard fruit trees is not
fully determined, although 1t Is ap-
parent that the abnormal development
of tissue causing such large swellings
on infected trees cannot be other than
detrimental to natural growth
