pox and typhoid are very prevalent,
and some years fearful epidemics
break out. Pneumonia and tuberculO-
sis are also prevalent. But Chile's
high death rate is mainly accounted
for by the heavy infantile mortality
from contagious diseases. The birth
record of Chile is 6ne of the highest
in the world, but the mean rate of in
crease in population by excess of
births over deaths reduces 1t to one
of the lowest in the world. Thus one
of the most healthful countries in the
world reduces its increase to a mini
mum through ignorance, carelessness
in the treatment of children and the
bad sanitary conditions In the dwell

On Thursday, May IS, it was the
good fortune of the writer to spend
mos. of the day in the prupe, peach
pear and apple orchards in the vicinity
of Salem. The zip was made At the
instance Of several growers who had
become alarmed over the condition OF
their fruit trees.
The injury noted apneared upon prac-
tically all different binds of fruit
trees, the peach probably being least
affected. Young trees from one to
eight years Of age suffered more than
older trees on the average, though
some trees in full bearing are affected
and will lose most of their fruit.
The trouble is what is known as win.

upon the tree caused the top and trunk
to warm up and the sap to circulate
under the bark. When the freeze
came at night this sap was eongea'c
and the tender plant cells of the cam.
cinm layer just under the bark was
either killed or badly weakened.
The severity of the injury can be

:" Winter Injury" Causes Damage
In Most Orchards About Salem

to the tree, that It shows there is no
circulation Of sap, then the injury is
apt to show up severely in the tops.
The limbs in that case either do not
leaf our or, if leaves do start, they re-
main small or ulimaely drop off. The
bark on the trunk and lower limbs
.often cracks open.
Injuries were found running from
very severe, with the trees practically
dead, to those where the leaves on the
tips of branches are small and back
ward and the cambium only slightly
discolored,
Some OF the trees severely injured
will die, undoubtedly, but most of the
others will pull through with the loss
of a branch or two in some cases. If
you will examine your trees you will
find, on many Of the trses apparently
dead, that there are little pink buds
coming out near where the others have
died or where branch has been cut
off. These buds will finally form
limbs and may need to be used in
forming new top.
A word of caution should be given
to those who contemplate pulling up
or cutting down trees affected. Do
not do this until you are sure your
trees win not come back. Wait until
the middle of June at least and then,
if the bark is turning black or shrivel-
ing and no foliage has appeared you
will be safe in removing the trees from
the orchard.
1t is nothing unusual for trees af-
fected in this way to recover during
summer, if good care is given them,
and set good crop the next year.
