SEVERE LOSS BY LEAF CURL
Disease 10 Responsible for Failure Of
Peach Crop In Some Orchards
Use Bordeaux.

It has been estimated that leaf curl
causes an annual loss Of two millions

When the disease first becomes appar-

are usually Of light red or pink color.
The affected leaves gradually turn vel.
low, finally blacken and fall to the
ground. In some cases the trees may
be nearly defoliated, thus making II
necessary to develop an entire second
crop of leaves. This is a severe strain

OF leaf curl The leaves affected by
aphis do not become thickened and
reddish or yellowish green in color.
The spores Of this fungus live under
the rough bark and in the creyices OF
the twigs during the summer and win
ter months, terminating early in the
spring and attacking the young leaves
as soon as the leaf buds begin to ex-
pand. Cold, wet weather during the
months of April and May favors the
development Of the fungus and largely
determines the amount OF injury.
Warm, dry weather tends to check the
growth Of the fungus and under such
conditions the injury is slight.
The disease can readily be con
trolled by a thorough application OF
concentrated lime-sulphur before the
buds open in the spring. Bordeaux
mixture, applied early in the spring
before the buds start, also will control
leaf curl, but the lime-and-sulphul
mixture is advisable because it vii

PETTY OFFICER DIES
 ABOARD CUTTER
WAS ABOUT 45 YEARS OLD AND TWENTY YEARS IN
 THE UNITED STATES,

The revenue cutter Patterson ar rived in port this afternoon and anchored in the bay. Previous to it's arrival, a wireless message was received here notifying the author ities that Charley Olson had died aboard the cutter last evening about ten o'clock of apoplexy and would be buried here.
 Charley Olson, it was learned from Capt. Quillian, commander of the Patterson, was a petty officer and was well liked by all who knew him. He had been in the United States about twenty years and was naturalized citizen. As far as Captain Quillian knows, his mother resides in Christiania, Nor way. Other than his mother, he is not known to have any relatives in this country.
 The remains will be buried to- morrow afternoon in the local ceme- tery.

CANADIANS CROSS OCEAN
 TO ENLIST WITH ALLIES

LONDON, April 13.-There are probably thousands of Canadians and Britons who lived in Canada who have come to this country since the war started. Many of them could not pass the severe tests wE'ch the men for the first Canadian contingent had to pass and in some cases they desired to join a special branch of the Brit ish service, such as the Royal Fly ing corps, which is well nigh im- possible.
 They have been putting in the time in one way and another, most ly doing special war work, but the military service act has now intro duced new factor. So far as the native Canadians are concerned, there is no question of being forced to serve under the provisions of the act, as it does rot apply to them, and they may secure a pass port and leave the country without any difficulty.
 This is also true of Canadians by adoption, who came over to do intuition work, and who have com- pleted their contracts. If they wish to return to Canada they may do so without hindrance.

 PRESIDENT. ONLY LEADER SUITED
For Four Years The Tribune Fought The Ex-President
 Bitterly.

NEW YORK, April 1S. = The Tribune this morning in a lengthy editorial and after reviewing the situation of the republican party. calls attention to the fact that Roosevelt is the only leader who can win the coming election for the party. It says that many good men would make excellent execu- tives in time of peace, but like Wilson, they can never handle a situation when the world is at war. The Tribune ends by asking that every republican unite and nomin- ate Roosevelt as their leader at the coming election.
 In view of the fact that The Tribune has fought Roosevelt for the last four years bitterly, the article has created a near sensa- tion.
