Widespread occurrence this season
Of cheery-leaf spot-the most serious
disease affecting the foliage Of cher
ries in the eastern United States, and
which is destructive in some Of the
central states-directs the attention
Of fruit growers to methods Of fight
ing it. While 1t is too late in most
instances for thorough treatment this
season, 1t is not too late for the third
application of the remedy, which is
made after the cherries are picked
and is Of considerable benefit. 1t is
not too early to prepare for next sea-
son by studying the control measures
which are described in Farmers Bull
letin 1853, recently published by the
United States department Of agricul-
ture, giving the results Of expert
ments carried on in Michigan.
Three sprayings with lime-su1phur
solution or bordeaux mixture will con-
troll the disease, says the department.
The first application should be made
as soon as the petals fall, the second
about three weeks later, and the third
Immediately after the fruit is picked.
Omission Of any one Of the three
applications results in serious foliage
loss. When the disease is not severe,
especially in the South, it may some
times be controlled by spraying three
weeks after the petals have fallen and
directly after the fruit has been
picked; but the omission Of any Of
the three applications is always At
tended with risk.
Upon affected leaves the disease
frst appears as small purplish ispots
which later turn brown. These spots
are usually circular, but several may
be 80 close together as to form a
large irregular area. A corky tissue
is formed around the affected areas
which drop out, giving the appear
ance Of shot-holes, a name often given
to the disease.
Badly injured leaves turn yellow
and fall. A tree severely attacked in
the early spring fails to mature Its
fruit, which may continue to hang ON
in semi-fnature condition throughout
the season. In mild cases only 3 few
leaves are injured. but frequently in
fections are so numerous that the
tree is defoliated by midsummer.
Leaf-spot is caused by fungus which
passes the winter in the fallen leaves
whence it infects the new leaves the
following season by means of spores.
In the experiments conducted BY
the department in Michigan, various
sulphur and copper preparations, both

the incongruity of a monumental arch
IN the American scene may remain open
to argument. But the advocates of
such memorial must as a matter of
course assume the existence of abound
ing space, such space as is available
only in remote parts of the city. Looked
at in the concrete, the skyscraper would
appear to settle the problem rather
ruthlessly and decisively. Not all the
arguments in the world could stand up
against the unfortunate facts of the
case as they are now being made
palmer and palmer every day in Madi-
son Square. While we await, however,
the removal of scaffolding and the

bout the Washington Square arch:
The arch has been greatly neglected
or long time. Last winter it was
discovered that because the roof was
leaking, the water came through the
arch and formed great iccles, which
hung from the span These icicles

mostly sketches, vague. invertebrate
things, as in the little masterpiece
and we note particularly Morten's ap-
preclatlon of it. He had something of
the instinct for good painting which
marked Inglis, the fair for quality
which dlsregards subject, scale and
what not, and considers only the appeal
of paint, we'll handled He cared moth
ing for the French school of half
century ago, as a school, but he had
the wit to see how beautiful, how un

"Blacksmith's She'd of Courbet. Theo
dule Rlbot was hardly the type of painter
one would look for in Morten's pol-
lery, but, since he figures there, it is at
least in his Family Group" one of the
most singular and fascinating illustra-
tons of his singular art we have ever
seen.

an atmosphere remarkable alike for

The Memorial Arch

There is one precious principle to be
observed as regards the memorial arch
now rising into temporary form at
Madison Square-thc principle of MAX
ing haste slowly, which has more than
once been stated on the editorial page
Of The Tribune. 1t is good to know
that this is recognized by the designer,
Mr.. Thomas Hastings, himself He sees
the wisdom of leaving this matter open
until the city has had plenty of time
in which to weigh its merits and de-
merits. Meanwhile, the temporary arch
affords, from its site, perfect op-
portunity for the sderation Of the
very important question as to whether
this kind Of monument is in harmony
With the genius of the country. Is
there any form Of architecture more
typical of the country than the sky

The Allied Artists

The painters and sculptors calling
themselves the Allied Artists of Amer

They have opened their annual exhibi-

is the sixth they have held. There is
vitality, apparently, in the idea of max
ing an exhibition out of pictures chosen
by the artists themselves, without the
Intervention of any jury Of selection.
Nevertheless, we are made to feel this
season, as we have been made to feel
before, that this alliance effects no
unique purpose, produces no assemblage
Of remarkable pictures such as could
not have been brought forward in any
other way. Indeed, the weakness of the

opened an attractive exhibition of an
tique textiles lent by the Needle and
Bobbin Club. Taken in connection with
the modern hand decorated textiles
entered for the Albert Blum contest
and hung in adjoining galleries, it sug-
gests IN happy way the close relation
OF the antique with the requirements of
modern textile design At the same
time it shows the wealth of inspiration
to be found by modern designers in the
velvets, brocades and embroideres in
private and museum collections. Three
Gothic pieces, one a ruby-red pome-
granate pattern, and two bold strips Of
orocade OF cut velvet interviewer with
gold thread, are very attractive; also
