TO CHERRY GROWERS
Now is the Time to Doctor Your
Trees if They Have Gummosis.

G. o. Constable, county fruit in
spector of Marion County, says that
in his opinion it was time for orchard
lists to give attention to their cherry
trees especially in regard to the di-
sease known as "gummosis. =" This
infection of the cherry trees causes
no small amount of damage each
year, but if proper attention is given
the infection at the right time, many
fruit trees may be saved. The fol-
loving excerpt from an article on the
control of Cherry Gummosis is highly
commended as being very practical.
"The disease starts out late in
winter, enlarging old injuries and with
still greater damage becoming a
source of a multitude of new infec-
tions. The old cankers of last year
should be cleaned out now and new
infections should be watched and
treated as soon as discovered. The
method is simple, but thoroughness
is essential.
"With draw knife or other in
strument remove all the bark that is
being careful to cut out all
the brownish and discolored bark at
the outer edges of the cankers.
Where there is evidence that the
,anker is actively spreading up and
down the tree, one must cut well be-
yond the point where the bark shows
in order to remove all
Infected substance.
"The wounds should then be wash
I'd with a l to 1000 solution of corro-
;ive sublimate to disinfect the sur
ace. Get the tablet and directions
'or making the right strength from
your drug store, keep in glass can or
,ottle labeled poison and apply with
ponge or wet cloth to the tree, wet
ing the cut surface well. A short
ime should be allowed for the sur
ace to dry and unless the wound is
mall some good pruning paint, tree
,aint, or paint made of pure white
cad and raw mot boiled) linseed
Ill should be used to protect the eX-
,osed woods from the attacks of
wound fungi and heart roots. :"

Every man, woman, and child is en-
listed in the fight. Ferrets, dogs,
traps, and poison are employed, and
for one day at least there is a glor-
ious slaughter of rats. The rat is a
noted immigrant. Australia became
overrun with rats through some Of
them drifting to the country on wreck
age from the Indian Archipelago. The
Japanese rat has established himself
on the Pacific Coast in spite of all
efforts to keep him out. The great
dread is that the worst variety of the
pest known, the Great Bandicoot of
India, which attains a growth of more
than a foot in length, will some
day sneak into America in spite of
all precautions.

War Against Rats,

Out in Indiana they have figured
out officially that there are five rats
to every human being in the country
and that each rat consumes $3.50
worth of provender per annum, says
the Louisville Courier-Journal. This
foots up to such an amazing total that
the lawmakers of the Hoozier State
are hard at it appropriating money
for the purchase of traps and other
things to be used in a campaign Of
determination. Charts have been
prepared and distributed to the
schools, showing the cost of keeping
the rats, and experts are showing
children how best to deal with the
rat nuisance. 1t has been made le-
gal for officers of the Health Board
to enter any house or store or bus
mess place in order to wage war
against rats that are there. The rat
infested building has been placed in
the same class as the cholera-infest-
Jed building. The same applies to
vessels at the water front. Any
health official can board a ship sus-
peeted of harboring rats and take
entire possession for the purpose of
carrying the rat war into the enemy's
territory. But the biggest card that
the state has played in the rat game
is to set apart one day a year for a
general state war against the rats.

How many male and female ances-
tors were required to bring you into
the world? First, it was necessary
that you should have a father and
mother That makes two human be-
ings. Each Of them must have had
a father and mother. That makes
four more human beings. Again,
each of them must have had father
and mother, making eight more hui
man beings. So on we go back to
the time of Jesus Christ, fifty-six gen
erations. The calculation thus result
ing shows that 139, ,235, OH, ,4S9, ,534, ,976
