WASHINGTON. May l6.-tP-
The phony peach disease, respon-
sible for a federal quarantine on
Ga central and western Georgia
counties and one Alabama county,
has been increasing in Georgia
orchards for so years.
1t first was discovered near
Marshallville, Ga, by Samuel II.
Rumph. originator OF the Elberta
and several other commercial
peach varieties. who called the
dwarfed trees ponies"
When 1t became known that the
stunted growth was caused by a
disease, pony trees" were referred
to a victims OF pony peach dis
ease. Later the term became
"phony." which is generally ac-
cepted by the Georgia peach in
dustry.
With the onset OF the disease
a phony tree develops shortened
internodes. a large number OF lat
eral twigS and large, flattened.
dark green leaves.
Especially in young growth. de-
cided dwarfing results. normal
trees quickly exceeding diseased
trees In circumference and height.
With each additional year after
the symptoms Of the disease ap-
pear there Is a notable decrease
IN the average size OF fruit and
IN the amount Of fruit ON O tree.
1t Is not uncommon for the size
OF normal fruit to be about two
and a half times that OF diseased
fruit. Although slightly better in

TO MAP WATER
PERMIT FIGHT
Joint Association Meeting
To Discuss Opposition
To Franklin Plan

BAN BENTTO, May 17.-Prcced-
ure to be followed in opposing the
application OF J. r. Franklin FOR
permit to water $4,000 acres Of land
in southeastern Hidalgo county with
waters Of the Rio Grande was TO
be discussed here Friday aftei noon
in d meeting Of Joint Association OF
Water Districts OF the Valley.
Hearing on the Franklin appiica-
ton is to be held at Edinburg May
rs and the melting this afternoon
has been called to discuss proposals
made by the legal committee Of the
association,
The legal committee already fas
met and considered best means for
attacking the application which now
is before the state board CT water
engineers.
This committee makes five pro-
Dnsals in a report to the association.
These are:
That the application be attacked
on grounds that the PROPOSED rroj-
ect Is impracticable. The ground,
they claim. is too high and that con-
struction O. the system could be
made oniv at too great cost.
That the permit would conflict
with the water rights OF others and
that IL would overlap other permits
That the applicants Is not entitled
to a permit on the grounds Of pri-
nrity. This includes an attack on
the validity of q presentation which
was made about two wears nEo.
That there is a lack OF water In
the source Of supply, the Rio
Grande.
The fifth proposal IS that Of own
ership Of the land to be wate:ed
The engineers recommend that
r. M. Gard be employed TO examine
the soil in the tract. They propose
to take the stand that the soil IL Of
such nature II will require too much
water 10 properly irrigate.
III also Is recommended that Neal
A. Brown be emnloved to investi-
gate ownership Of the tract. thar
river records be secured from "A. r.
Anderson of San Benito and that
abstracts OF water filings OF each
district be secured.
1t Is suggested that r. 3. Rentfrc
be retained as leading counsel In
the fight on the permit.

LIE BOURGET. France, May IT.
tP)-Crippled and in the grip OF vio-
lent winds, the transatlantic air
liner Graf Zeppelin was in serious
danger late today as she struggled
TO reach some safe haven in south
eastern France.
The huge ship. which carried a
crew OF forty and eighteen passen-
gers. including Mrs. Mary Pierre of
New York, was swept eastward from
the Rhone Valley toward the bar
rem foothills of the French Alps.
DR.. Hugo Eckener, commander or
the ship. wirelessed numerous ap-
peals for permission to land at
Valence. The permission was i'm
mediately wirelessed back. but the
dirigible did not ansker and was last
reported over Saillans. rs miles
southeast Of Valence. still being
driven further eastward toward the
Alps.
DR.. Eckener himself reported the
ship had suffered grave damage and
was in serious danger.
The French aviation authorities.
greatly concerned for the safety OF
the Graf Zeppelin. advised him 70
head for the town of Cuers near
Toulon on the Mediterranean coast
where a special landing mast was
available. The mast had served for
the French dirigible Dixmude. later
lost in a storm.
AS twilight began TO fall 1t was
Just SO hours after the departure OF
the huge air liner on its second vow
age TO the United States. In the
midst OF the gathering dusk the sip
was fighting for its life with three Of
its engines crippled and its two
remaining motors apparently unable
even to direct 1t against the ele-
mentS.
After advising DR.. Eckener by
wireless to head toward Toulon. the
French authorities made every eff
fort to get n reply from him. but
when no word had been received
late this afternoon 1t was problem
atical whether he had ever received
the message.
Meanwhile thel officials OF the air
and interior ministries held q COR
ference regarding measures to assist
the distressed air liner. Represent
atives were sent to the various
points. where the Zeppelin was re-
ported. for the purpose OF giving
very aid II needed.

color. fruit from phony trees may
be distinctly poorer in flavor.
The disease has travelled 200
miles from the point Of earliest
recorded observation. It is an In
fectious condition Of the root syS-
TEN which attacks peach and nee
tarine trees and other trees graft
ed or budded on peach and nee
tarine roots.
The infectious virus appears to
be confined entirely to the root
system and the federal quarantine
places no restriction on the move
ment Of the fruit, scions. branches
and other parts OF peach and
n~ectarine trees SO long as the
roots are not included.
With the exception Of one county
in Alabama, the present known oc-
currence Of phony disease is lin
tied to Georgia where it has in
vaded nearly all OF the CONNER
cial peach-growing districts. Dur
ing the last three years 1t has be-
come serious in the north central
and west central counties.
For several years il has been a
great menace in the extensively
planted central region. where vir-
tually every bearing orchard has
diseased trees. 1t is not uncom-
mon to find SO per cent or more
Of the trees diseased in orchards
that are eight years old. In the
southern part of the peach belt 1t
Is only moderately serious, but Is
increasing.
Highest individual occurrence
records show go per cent OF the
diseased trees in an orchard four
years old and 80 per cent in an
orchard Il years old.
