Apple Rosette.

This disease common thruout the
Northwest has been attributed to 8
great variety Of physiological causes
and improper soil conditions. Dur
ing the pastyear. the writer has had
the disease under investigation and
has observed carefully the varied
conditions under which diseased trees
had been found growing. The dis
ease has been found on trees grow
ing on all sorts of soils and under all
sorts OF cultural conditions. 1t has
been found on light soils and heavy
soils, on dry soils and wet soils. on
deep soils and shallow soils, on bot
tomlands and hillsides. on north
slopes and south slopes, and on hill
tops. The disease exists in both
irrigated and non-irrigated sections.
1t seems to be equally prevalent in
orchards where clean culture is prac-
tissd and in orchards where various
systems OF inter-cropping are en-
ploved. Orchards which have been
allowed to grow up to weeds are on
more badly infected than orchards
well cared for. 1t would seem.
therefore, that neither soil conditions
nor cultural practices bear any dir
ect relationship to the cause of the
disease.
Furthermore, that disease appears
to be infectious and will spread from
tree to tree. Until something more
definite can be learned regarding
the specific cause of the disesae in
fected branches should be cut at
once and burned. Fortunately, the
disease makes comparatively slow
progress in a tree and if pruning is
done as soon as the symptoms appear,
it should not be difficult to control.

An interesting story comes from
district in Asiatic Turkey. The
American consul was investigating
the effects of the Balkan wars on
this region and found that the most
constant and universal complaint was
the loss of banking facilities. This
seemed a rather strange result OF war,
but further inquiry made the matter
clear.
The only bank in that district was
managed by Greeks, as a branch OF
the Bank of Athens. Naturally, this
was closed when war broke out, for
foreign cash is not very safe when
within reach of a needy Turkish gov

siderable district, peopled almost

business, because the "enemies" and
"Christian dogs" who formerly per
formed these services were gone.

interlocking of national interests IN
modern times and the peculiar de

When a brewery 600 miles from

Slave lake was one long and joyous
spree. A strange white man had sold
the secret of making 'firewater" to
the Indians, and they were making a
brew" Of potatoes, hops, sugar, and
yeast, which, when allowed to fer

Living in the same town, says the
New York Evening World, was a

Frenchman's foot 1t was in cafe,

hand and another clutches tightly to
the folds of her pink calico dress. Just
inside the door stands two new brass
cribs. Across the gloomy aspect Of
