Apple Disease.
On this, the fourth day of the show, |
addresses were given by Prof. B. r. Lut- |
man of the University of Vermont. whose |
subject was Some Important Apple Dis
eases and How to Control Them" bv r. |
s. Brigham, state commissioner of agri- |
culture, who spoke on "Reforms in Ner-
mont Apple Marketing" and by r. RI. |
Abbott OF Barre, county agent of Wash
ington county, whose subject was Fruit
Growing in Washington County"
Prof. Lutz said in part as follows:
Weather is, to a large extent, the de-
termining factor in the spread of plant
diseases. The last three or four years
have been rather dry during the period
in which fruit was forming and pithy or
ynarly apples seem to be the consequence.
The season of 1915, on the other hand.
was very cold and wet during May and
June and the very serious trouble apple
'cab, has reappeared to prevent the pro-
iuction of perfect fruit.
''Many growers depending on the ex-
'erience of the seasons Immediately pre-
'eding neglected to give proper attention
o spraying. Rainy weather makes spray
ng a very difficult operation but since
t is in such times that the fungus caus-
ng soab gets its start, the apples must

reforming Apple Marketing in Vermont. c
Commissioner Brigham's address on p
Reforms in the Apple Marketing" was ID
/ part as follows: \
ut is well known fact that Vermont a
as great potential possibilities as an APP e.
le growing state. The lands and the e
Innate of our Champlain valley have n
cen pronounced by one of the leading T
xperts Of the country as being ideally d
Iited to the production Of apples. Here C
nd there in other parts OF the state 81
BOD growers have demonstrated that our w
ople lands. are not confined to the Cham b.
lain valley alone but include a good III
1rtion of our territory. Is
"The results obtained by our best pro- &C
lcers demonstrate the possibilities of OF
curing an average crop OF satisfactory m
ze The price received by some of our
'st growers, viz: Sl4-S20 per barrel for fe
1ys reported by an Addison county of

rity of good Vermont apples in the m
