Massachusetts said: "The memorial Is
cast in very radical terms, but it has
won the support of most persons of
great Importance in the most copserva-

Professors of Harvard, Yale, Columbia,
Princeton, heads of great railroad cor
porations, presidents of banks and
leaders in the industrial and CONNER
cial world, as well as scientists and
alienists, have signed this document.
We think that both congress and the

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Citrus canker can be completely
eradicated from this country If ener-
getic work is continued for sufficient
length of time. In an article in the
1916 yearbook of the department, Dr.
X. f. kellerman points out that the
inspection and eradication work which
has been In progress for the last two
years, while expensive In itself, has
yielded encouraging results, and that
this disease is so serious menace
that the cost of combating it Is small
in proportion to the value of the prop
erty to be saved
Citrus canker is described by Doctor
Kellerman as the most contagious of
all known plant diseases and the most
destructive of commercial values.
More drastic precautions have been
found necessary in fighting 1t than are
required by any other plant disease.
Not only are infected trees destroyed
tree Is sprayed with a formalin sOlu-
ton, and 1t is also advisable to do this
with apparently healthy trees in the
neighborhood Of those infected. The
inspectors who do this work are re-
Quired to wear costume which can
be thoroughly disinfected before and
after visiting each citrus orchard. All
the apparatus taken into citrus groves,
such as oil cans and pumps, must also
be disinfected.
Work of this character Is now being
carried on comparatively by the Unit
ed States department of agriculture
and the states Of Alabama, Texas,
Mississippi and Florida.
Only very small proportion of the
orchards in the South have been in
fected, and those in Arizona and Cali

fornia have escaped completely. De-
spite the contagiousness of the dis
ease, infected orchards can frequently
be cleansed without the loss Of very
many trees. 1t Is essential, however,
that eradication work should begin
Immediately after the discovery of the
infection. Any owner who has reason
to suspect that canker exists in his
groves should close them to all visitors
and should see that neither he nor his
men visit other groves. Whenever pos
sible, he should send for q state spe-
cialist to ascertain definitely whether
the trouble Is or is not canker. If no
specialist is available, few infected
leaves may be picked up, wrapped in
paper, sealed in heavy envelope, and
forwarded either to the state author
tiles or to the United States depart
ment of agriculture. The owner should
thoroughly wash his hands in disin-
fectant solution after picking these
leaves.
In a majority of cases the disease af-
fects first the leaves. 1t causes red
dish brown spots raised slightly above
the level of the healthy surface and
frequently surrounded by rather in.
distinct, narrow, yellowish zone. Be-
fore breaking through the leaf surface,
the cankers are smooth. and almost
waxy, but afterwards have a corky ap-
pearance. Illustrations accompany
the article in the yearbook already
mentioned in order to assist owners
in detecting the presence of the infec-
ton.
