Spraying for California Peach Blight

Spraying for California Peach Blight.
A fungus disease known as the
California peach blight, which is
caused by a fungus, "Caryneum Bey-
erinckii," is to be found in almost
every peach orchard in Jackson coun-
ty This fungus causes great loss to
the fruiting surface Of the peach
trees. A large percentage of the
fruit buds are killed by this fungus.
The condition that is brought about
by this fungus is many times termed
winter killing" by the growers.
This however, is erroneous and most
of our socalled winter killing Is
traced direct to this fungus. This
damage or injury may be effectively
controlled or prevented by the use
of Bordeaux mixture If application
is made at this time. 1t Is best to
make this application before the
leaves are all of the trees, and the
spraying should be done before we
have very much rain. The fungus
spores germinate after the fall rains
and hinder the tissues of the tender
wood growth and buds, and 1t is to
kill these spores before entrance into
the wood or buds that the application
of Bordeaux mixture is made. This
fungus also causes dead areas on the
larger limbs, sometimes known as
cankers. These may in some in
stances entirely girdle comparatively
large limbs. The fungus also causes
spotting to the fruit, commonly
known as scab or fungus,
To peach growers who wish to pro-
tect their trees from this disease it
is very important that the applica-
tion of this spray he made in the
near future. Use 5 pounds blue
stone, pounds Of lime to so gal
Ions of water. Dissolve each sepa-
rately; pour both materials into the
spray tank at the same time. Use
good agitation and spray trees thor
oughly.

Healthy Hogs Resist Ch6Iera.

Hogs are not as resistant to dis
ease at this season of the year as
they are in the spring when getting
an abundance of green forage, and
having access to a wide range. 1t is
necessary, therefore, to give them
more attention and better care to off
set seasonal conditions and danger
from new corn.
Do not feed in the same lot or on
the same acre of ground day after
day. This contaminates the feeding
places, and Also attracts crows, pig
cons and sparrows, which may have
been feeding with a cholera infected
herd. Throw the feed out in diff
ferent spot each day, thus giving the
pigs a clean plate" from which to
eat.
The water supply is of much inn
portance to the health of the hogs at
this time of year. Old mud wallows
are never good, but are not so bad II
the hogs can have pure water to
drink; but If forced to battle and
drink in the same tub" serious
trouble can be expected at any time
See that they have an abundance OF
pure water to drink, situated neal
the wallow holes or feeding places
Pure water will aid materially in
keeping the herd cholera free.-E

From every cattle market in this
country and Canada has come the
same complaint of flood Of trashy
cattle and steady demand for good,
well-finished stock This fact would,
under ordinary circumstances, make
for the elimination of the trash; but
unfortunately such has been the de-
mand for meat that anything that
has had beef on its ribs has sold at
a price and the spread between the
good and the poor has not been great
enough to bring the Encouragement
to poor stock that means its elimina-
tion from the markets. The market
ed crop of cattle has changed its
character from time to time in way
to work out in the quotations a sort
of selection and preference, but 1t is
only quite recently that the spread
between Gamers and prime bullocks
has been great enough to make the
premium on the latter look big
enough to awaken genuine interest
among beef producers. However, the
consumption of Gamer cattle is sure
to give place after the war to that of
better grade of beef, such as can
go forward in the floating refriger-
ators, and then the spread of values
is certain to widen, and it will not
be profitable to grow Gamers any
where in this country on arabic
lands. s.-Price Current.

high price of gasoline, and it is figured
that launches on this account will be
less used this summer than for several
