COLLAR ROT OF FRUIT TREES.

The following extract from letter
from Professor o. M. Norris, head of
the department of horticulture of the
Washington State College to serve the
fruit growers of this county in regard
to the control of collar rot in their
orchards, will probably be of especial
interest to many orchardists.
1.-The best thing that you can do is
to examine each of your Spitzenburg
trees carefully and estimate their con-
dition. Those in which the roots are
injured to any considerable extent or
so as to cause partial girdle or a
complete girdle IS formed, or large
proportion Of the roots have been kill
ed. may be bridge grated with profit,
In case you find that the trees are
very nearly dead, bridge grating will
probably be of no value but If care
fully done, and done early enough it
will redure the amount Of the injury
to the minimum. Let me suggest that
if you bridge, work entirely below the
ground, that you obtain pieces Of APP
pie root and use that material rather
than the twigs from above.
"lf you find in digging about the tree
that the soil is very hard and compact
it would pay you to dig out enough so
that the soil could be loosened some
what throughout the area Immediately
under the base of the tree. Then have
the earth removed from the base of the
tree, but, If necessary, cover over with
some form OF mulch, being sure, how
ever to avoid the possibility of making
a good place for mice and such pests
to work. Sometimes these trees can be
left with the base of the trunk and
uarge roots fully exposed throughout
the winter with good results. 1t is one
of the best methods of checking any
decay that has started to develop in
the injured roots.
1.-THE winter injury of the trunk and
crown of the tree results from extreme
cold during the winter and the fact
that parts of the trees did not as COM
pletely ripen their wood as did the
branches and tips of the twigs. The
trunk and crown of the trees is the last
TO stop developing new tissues IN the
late summer and early fall and conse-
uuently goes into winter quarters with
Immature tissues which is more easily
killed than the wood farther from the
crown.
The winter injury then kills the
fenderest wood and as We noticed in
your orchard the killed areas are dis
tributed from the base of the large
roots through the crown and trunk OF
the tree. The areas that have been
killed above ground have practically in
all cases. dried without starting to de-
cay. This is healing over by the growth
of the wood around the sides of the
The Oroville weekly gazette. [volume] (Oroville, Wash.) 1905-19??, 1920-12-10

ence to winter injury. In addition to
the whitewash if the trees are not well
matured in the fall would advise that
you use a felt building paper, prefer
ably OF gray color and wrap the
trunks Of the trees with this material.
Whitewashing this material ON will
also be worth while to prevent fluctu-
alton of temperature during the win
ter. This process aims to prevent ex-
tremss drops in the temperature in the
tree trunk and has in other districts
where it has been tried, been found to
be the most efficient of any practical
process used.
Il found no evidence of any disease
working in your trees but can not
say that there is no disease there. as
it might be possible that one or two
trees would have blight in the trunk
or base of the tree and such trees can
not be readily distinguished without
very close examination. II your
orchard were mine, however. l would
not have any hesitation about the
method of treatment, but would follow
the suggestions here made.
"A whitewash for your purpose can
be made by Stacking fresh lime with
hot water. After Stacking, let stand
for two or three days and then dilute
with hot water to the proper thickness
for withdrawing and use one pint of
creosete to every two gallons of wa
ter. Carbolinoum or any of the coal
tar disinfectants can be used. The pur-
pose Of this Is to make the whitewash
repellant to mice. You will have best
results if you apply this either with
brush or spray pump while the liq-
uid is hot. In order to do this It Is
sometimes necessary to use hot water
in your last process of diluting the
whitewash. You will find that It will
be a good plan for you to whitewash
your trees every year. preferably in
the mid-autumn."

The best protection that can be af-

The growing of cover crops, or an in

times cause the tree to become less re-

be If an intermediate state of moisture

THE best thing that | can suggest
for the care of those trees for this win

for you to mulch around the base of
the trees with hay, straw or any kind
of coarse litter in order shat you will
in that way prevent the extreme freez
ing of the base of the trunk and crown

sprinkle a few poisoned oats around
the base of the tree in order to protect
it from mice injury. The trunk of the
tree should be whitewashed thoroughly
in the autumn. This will prevent ex-

DAN WUILLE BUYING
APPLES HEAVILY

While the out of town buyer, so no
ticeable in all mid-Coumbia districts
last year. has made no stir here this
season, Dan Wuille q Co. announce ex-
tensive purchases. A +. Woolpert
states that approximately 100, 600 boxes
of apples have been bought here and at
White Salmon.
''We are buying both for the domestic
and export business" says Mr.. Wool
pert "About half of the apples will
be of a size that will go to export The
purchases are chiefly Newtowns and
Spitzenburgs, although some early va
rieties are included, We are not max
ing public our lirilesJii these purchases
at the present time.
Activity of canning, cider and vine
gar interests, which utilize cull fruit
of this district, is not noticeable to
date. A year ago many buying repre-
sentatives were already on the ground
and bidding for Gull apples brought the
price up to $40 per ton. Local concerns
have made no purchases of cull stock
todate. and it is stated that the mar
ket remains indefinite. The demand
for cider apples influenced the keen
trading last season. The drastic pro-
visions Of the Volstead Act, however,
it is declared. may result in slump in
the cider business with resulting
small demand for Gull apples.

Because of the warm climate, howeve
we have found only about six varieti
that can be grown favorabIy. We hai
planted oranges much more extensively
and we have found that certain yarie-
ties of pears thrive in our country. We
expect to build up fair export busi.
ness with Europe during the season op.
posite that in which your fruitsfnds its

Prof. Schenck was frank in express
ing his disapproval of American busi-
ness methods in Latin American coun-
tries.
Until your American business man
learns to meet the South American
merchant at least half way in his wavs
of doing business" he declared. he
will find that he can not compete with
commercial houses of Europe. The
American commercial traveller arrives
among us, and instead of trying to
furnish us with goods that we know
will meet demand, he tries to intro
duce something new. He assumes too
much of an air of intolerance for ev-
erything that is not manufactured in
America. Then there are lot of little
things that have recently irked our
business houses who have received ap-
peals for business from American CON
Germs. We have been getting innum-
cradle letters bearing only 2-cent
stamps, when a scent stamp is re-
quired to bring letters from the United
States into Brazil. Then we are put
to much annoyance in the different
systems of measurement. We have
adopted the metric system, but we are
often confused in Interpreting receipts
of goods measured in American or Port
ugese feet"
Prof. Schenck has gone to Corvallis
where he will make extensive study
Before returning home he will visit
California deciduous and citrus belts
He was interested in the gasoline
shortage which has prevailed in the
Northwest district. While Brazil lacks
the numerous automobiles of America,
he declares no shortage has ever ex-
listed for the man with sufficient funds
to purchase fuel Before the war, he
says. people of Brazil were able to
purchase case, holding two cans of
gasoline, total of 36 liters, for $3.50.
While the war was on the price scared
to $25. The gasoline now costs Sc
per case, according to the visitor.
