FRESHMEN AND SOPHOMORES PULL
A BUNCH'0F SENSATIONAL STUNTS

A cordiality fest that finally result
ed in the ducking of members of both
underclasses and the early morning
circulation of the traditional sopho-
more posters was begun on the uni
versity hill last night when a group
of 1920 zealots kidnapped Perry G.
Mcmillan, recently elected freshman
president, and treated him to a breath
of country air. i
The freshmen did not learn of the
Mcmillan abduction until too late to
make a sortie upon his kidnappers but
they assembled on the corner of the
campus shortly after 10 O'Clock and
began a search for the then widely
scattered sophomores.
Four members of the 1920 class were
finally unearthed at about 1880 and

IMPORTANT DISEASE OF APPLE AND PEAR

(By LEONARD r. HARTILL, Instructor
In Fruit Growing. New York State
School Of Agriculture on Long Island.
Farmingaale. N. ~
Economically, apple and pear scab
are probably the most important dis
eases affecting their respective hosts.
The diseases are common throughout
the world, wherever apples and pears
are grown extensively and during sea-
sons favorable to their development
may result in losses of from Is to SO
per cent Of the crop.
Description.-Scab commonly at
fects the fruit, but it may be found
on the leaves, stalks, flowers, and in
the case of the pear scab on the twigs.
On the foliage the spots are more or
less circular in outline and olive green
or brown In color. AS the spots ma
.ture they become darker and more ir-
regular In outline. When the spots
are abundant considerable defolia ton
may take place, results in the fail.
ure Of the fruit buds to mature nor.
mally.
On the fruit the scab first appears
as small, circular, greenish black
spots which change in appearance as
the fungus spreads, eventually devel-
oping into large or small rough, rus
seted spots. The fruit often becomes

When infected leaves fall to the
ground In the autumn, the mycelium
OF the fungus causing the disease does
not die. but develops during the win
ter, and in the spring produces sexual
spores which are disseminated at
about the time the blossoms open, and
injecting the young leaves, blossoms
and fruit produce the first scab spots.
The disease is later spread by a new
generation Of spores produced in these
spots. In the case Of the pear it Is
not unlikely that the disease lives over
the winter on the twigs as we'll as on
the leaves.
Weather conditions greatly influence
the development Of scab, as moisture
on the surface of leaves and fruit
Is essential to the termination of the
scab spores.
Control.-As the disease Is carried
over the winter on the leaves, it Is
advisable to pillow early In the spring
to turn under all the leaves before
spores are given of from them. In the
case of pears it Is also well to rake
together and burn all prunings. For
apple scab spray just as the apple
buds begin to show color and sepa-
rate in the cluster, using one part of
| concentrated lime-sulphur testing 81

distorted and when the scab spots are
abundant often cracks open.
AS already noted, pear scab, unlike
apple scab, causes q disease of the
twigs. In this case the fungus pro-
duces mycelium beneath the epidermis
Of the twigs. The mycelium finally
breaks through the epidermis and
gives to the twigs q roughened ap-
pearance.
cause.-Apple and pear scab are
caused by two closely related fungi.
Ventura pomi (apple scab) and Ven
turia pyrina (pear scab). With both
apple and pear scab there are two dis
tinct stages, the conidial or summer
spore stage and the sexual or ascus
spore stage. The summer spore stage
develops on both fruit and foliage in
the spring and summer, giving rise
to the characteristic spots on the fruit
and foliage from which the disease
takes its name.

New Guard Units Not Wanted.
While Minnesota has legal authority
to raise additional regiments Of the
national guard, announcement by the
war department was that this action
would be deprecated, and that addi-
tional guard regiments probably would
not be recognized at this time. New
units will not be accepted unless there
is assurance they Will have armory
and other facilities after the war. II
the government decides to recruit now
guard regiments. the states would
have nothing to do with naming tia
officers.

DEMAND FOR SKIS GROWING
Popularity Of Winter Sport Has In
creased Wonderfully In United
States and Canada.

You scarcely would think that there
would be a market for skis in Arizona,
or In California, with 1t much-vaunted
climate--but it's true. And, moreover,
the st. Paul Pioneer Press says, there
Is a demand for them In these two
states-as well as all other states OF
the Onion where.it is possible to in
dulge in that winter sport. As for
Canada, the demand from that quarter
for these locally made skis is immense.
One reason probably for this demand
on st. Paul made skis is that the
largest ski mandatory in the world
ls located here. For the manufacture
of skis, Louisiana yellow pine, Florida
hickory, ash and maple are used, the
hickory being the best for skis used by
Il jumper. Every ski must be perfect
piece of wood, any pitch hole or defect
Immediately making the wood unfit for
use.
The wood, after being seasoned thor
Oughly, Is planed and then goes to the
markers bench, where the pattern is
marked on it. 1t is then cut out with
saws according to this pattern, grooved
ON the bottom to give the ski runner
better control of his skis, steamed and
the prov" bent, the hole cut for the
harness which holds the feet to the ski,
and then finished and painted.
Ski running and jumping has in
creased wonderfully in the United
States and Canada in the past two
years. Even the United States govern
ment purchases skis here for the use
of its rangers and other officials, for
whom the SHOWS of the north make
such implements necessary.

THE MONSTER
OF MOUNTAINS
Mt, Mckinley, Our New
est National Park, an
Amazing Spectacle

The national park in Ala ska
which Congress created last
spring is one of the monster
spectacles of the world. To say
that it rises 10000 feet above
sea leyel and that it is the loft
lest peak in America is to con-
vey no idea whatever of its
grandure There are several
mountains in the Himalyas
which materially exceed its
heighth. one which rises more
than 25, 900 feet above sea level;
and yet Mount Mckinley, to the
observer, is loftieL than any of
these.
The reason is that the great
est Himalyas are seen from
valleys seven TO zen thousand
feet in altitude, while Mount
Mckinley rises abruptly from
valleys seven to ten thousond
feet in altitude. The visitor to
the Mount Mckinley National
Park will look up more tlan
seventeen thousand feet to The
double peak, the upper fourteen
thousand feetof which are coy
