General Lokomsky, one of KOrniloff's

he too, stigmatized as a traitor, is or
dered to resign. He too Is defiant.
Petrograd, in the grip OF famine and

the whole district of the capital.

occasionally. A mason fruit Jar also

from them to the fruit.
On the fruit the disease first ap-
pears as a dark brown spot with a
still darker band around the edges Of
the diseased area. The fungus spreads
rapidly through the tissues until the
entire berry Is affected. Later the ber-
ries shrivel up and remain on the
punches as dry, black mummies. The
fungus remains alive during the winter
In the diseased portions of the stems
or in the old diseased leaves and fruits
and the next spring the spores of the
fungus spread the disease again to the
young leaves and fruit.
Control Measures.
Some varieties are more resistant
to the disease than others. On the
rotundifolia type the disease causes
serious damage to the leaves, but does
not seem to injure the fruit to any ex-
tent.
On the bunch grapes (labrusca and
vinefora types) the disease is not very
injurious to foliage, but is very de-
structive to the fruit. Some of these,
however. are more resistant than
others.
The disease is prevented by destroy
ing the old diseased leaves and fruit
and by spraying with bordeaux mix
