typical gals, and from these the
active organism may be recovered.
Doctor Smith has been able to repro
duce the hairy root disease by inocu-
latlng healthy plants with bacilli re-
covered from hairy root swellings and
grown in pure culture.
The control of crown gall land the
same applies to hairy root is a very
much more difficult problem than the
prevention of fire blight In fact, the
very nature of the disease makes any
attempt at removal Of the gall well
nigh useless, for, although one may
perform the operation with apparent
thoroughness, it is practically impos-
sible to remove all the diseased tissue.
The case is not hopeless, however.
Competent inspection of all nursery
stock by men who actually know their
business should do much to check eff
fectiyely the ravages of this altogether
too common disease. ANhen we recog-
nize the fact that crown gall is essen
TALLY disease which has it's begin
nings in some mechanical injury in
flicted either above or below ground,
it is evident that care In planting and
cultivation is no insignificant control
factor.

BACTERIAL DISEASES OF FRUIT TREES
BY Professor H. B. Humphrey, Washington Agricultural

chard stock, which, otherwise would
have been planted.
The symptoms of crown gall are
oftentimes first observable in nursery
stock; the first indication being a tiny
swelling at or near the ground line or
crown Of the plant or cutting. These
small Swellings are, in the early stages,
whitish or flesh colored and quite
smooth outgrowths, gradually increas-
ing in size and becoming more or less
irregular and warty and of harder
texture. As these primary tumors en-
large they give rise to secondary gals
at or near the same point of infection,
or they may develop at point some
distance away from the older and
larger gall, but connected, just as in
animal cancer, by cancer or tumor
strands. The continued growth of
these tumors, though at first confined
to but the superficial tissues of the
host and within narrow limits, gradu-
ally encroaches upon the cambium and
other actively growing and functional
tissues OF the unfortunate plant. This
abnormal condition sets up a whole
train of disturbances, affecting the
growth and functions of organs until
the affected host yields in its struggle
against an insidious and destructive
disease.
Many times | have inspected or
chards containing trees afflicted with
crown gall in various stages of it's de-
velopment and severity. Some of
these trees may have been seven or
eight years of age and in full bearing;
and, though diseased, were yet, appar-
emily, able to bear their full share of
the total crop. In all such cases it
would be rash to recommend the re-
moval of the tree, and unless the re-
moval of the numerous growth can be
intelligently and thoroughly done, the
tree should be left untouched and al
lowed to bear its annual output.
Crown gall is caused by minute or
ganism known among plant patholo-
gists as bacillus tumefaciens. This
small paradise is wholly invisible to the
unaided eye; in fact, it is SO very mi
mute as to require one thousand in
dividuals placed end to end in order to
cover the space of one twenty-tltth OF
an inch. These excessively small
plants are found within the tumor
cells, where, as a result of their own
life processes, they are able to stimu-
late an abnormal and rapid growth of
host tissues which assumes the form of
tumors.
We now have fairly conclusive evil
dence that crown gall and hairy root
are caused by one and the same or
ganism. AS matter of fact, careful
examination of the tissue at the point
of origin of the hairy roots is pretty
certain to reveal swellings not unlike

lsaA09gS%54 ease OF bacterial origin III
tact, II was four years later (1878) that
such disease was known and then to
but a limited circle of scientists. Up
to this time our knowledge of plant
diseases was confined to the harmful
effects OF certain parasitic fungi. Such
maladles as could not be thus account
ed for were attributed to atmospheric
disturbances; to soil conditions; to
poisonous vapors or some other intan-
glble and wholly mysterious Pigment
of the imagination. Such a disease
was the fire blight of the pear and the
apple.
Since Doctor Burrill s discovery and
isolation of the fire blight organism,
the number Of plant diseases caused by
bacteria has gradually grown until
now complete list would embrace up
wards OF forty, a considerable num-
Der of these being common to such
well known fruits as the pear, apple,
plum, peach and mulberry.
Although the subject of this paper
is the Bacterial Diseases of Fruit
Trees, it is not the writer s intention
to treat the subject in detail. But it
has seemed wiser to devote our atten-
ton to a consideration of those two
diseases with which we of this North
west section are most intimately and
seriously concerned, i. e., crown gall,
and fire blight of the pear and apple.
Crown Gail
Crown gall has been recognized as a
plant disease for at least fifty years
and was generally attributed to frost
or mecanical injury of one kind or an
other. The true cause of this widely
known balady was limited in a paper
published by an Italian named Corvo
near thirty years ago (1885). But it
remained for an American, our own
DR.. Erwin f. Smith of the National
Bureau of Plant Industry, to actually
observe the eaustive organism and sub
ISOldIS II III pure
He did not stop here, but from these
same pure cultures has succeeded not
once, but thousand or more times in
producing tumors at will by the simple
act of artificial incubation of healthy
plants.
In discussion of crown gall it may
be well to call attention to the fact
that it is not confined to a handful of
hosts, but is known to affect such well
known plants as the apple, peach
cherry, English walnut, almond, rose,
tomato, tobacco, sugar beet, hop, and
host of others. It's presence in nur-
sery stock is so common that in one
state alone the inspection service con-
demned and ordered destroyed fully
seventy-five per cent of all young Or

tee yindicated him.
It became known today that A. d.

who was dismissed at the same time,
had been previously reinstated in the
department.
Elliot laid his dismissal to his re-
fusal to give official approval of land
selling projects in Florida The whole
affair was investigated in congress and

oensured the department and vindi-
Gated Elliot and Moorehouse.

found on the sidewalk at North Clark
street and Center avenue last night
by w. j. Bibos, a saloon keeper at
210O North Halsted street.
While the find appeared on the sur
face to be genuine. The police could
not disregard the theory OF hoax.
This theory was strengthened by the
fact that Mrs. Mills has no account
lat the EllShart bank and that she and
Stevens apparently have had no bust
ness relations
The check was contained in mans

threshed over at detective headquar-

as valueless and sent it back to Dibos.

TROOPS TO END THE NEW

Douglas, Ariz., March 6.-Maderista
sympathizers, former Orozco revolu-

today are flocking to Hermosillo
capital of the Mexican state of Sonora
to join the formidable revolt pro
claimed by the Sonora congress yes
terday against the Huerta regime
Two hundred Maderistas left Cananea
FOR Hermosillo last night, burning
bridges and cutting telegraph wires
behind them.
A strict censorship established by
the revolutionary authorities at Her
mosillo prevents detailed news of the
exact situation reaching the border
It is known, however, that men were
at work all night on the Notifications
about the city, and that ammunition
has been prepared and many citizens
armed, ready to resist the Huerta
troops.
The government at Mexico City, on
its side. has not been idle Reports
fro mthe south this afternoon are to
the effect that more than 1000 Huer-
ia troops already have entered south
ern Sonora, and that more are being
rushed from the state of Sinaloa. A
telegram received by General Oieda
at Aqua Prieta states that Orozco and
Salazar, former rebel leaders, are on
their way to aid in subduing Sonora.
This, however, is discredited by many
close observers of Mexican affairs.
At Guaymas on the coast, alarm has
been caused by a report that the
Huerta government is to send gum
boat to shell the town. American
residents of Guaymas number $50.
Maderlstas Join the Revolt.
Maderistas now under the constitu-
tionalist banner departed during the
night from Cananea to join the new
Iy proclaimed rebels at Hermosillo.
They burned railway bridges and cut

Ell Paso, Texas, March 6.-There

generals clearly have shown that
they do not agree regarding the de-
mands of the northern revolutionists
to be made on President Huerta.
II is denied by Orozco representa-
tives that the commander-in-chief of
the northern rebels has made any
monetary demand on the provisional
government at Mexico City. It is ais
credited that orozco's agent, Colonel
Jose Cordova has asked for money
