Illinois Cherry Trees
Now Facing Extinction

Cherry trees in Illinois face EXITING

ing to DR.. H. w. Anderson. University
of Illinois.
The leaves of the cherry trees are
attacked before the fruit is ripe and
often drop off, stopping the storage of
food for the coming winter. This
quite subject to winter injury and
causes the loss of large numbers of
trees every year. Some trees put out
new leaves and even blossoms in the
fall and the new wood produced is not
matured and is generally killed by
severe winter weather.
THE disease lives over winter in the
leaves that fall from the tree and the
spores reinhabit the leaves the next
year. Burning the leaves in the fall
and winter helps TO control the dis
ease" Doctor Anderson says.
Commercial lime-sulphur, one gallon

Piled just after the blooms have
dropped and again ten days after. The
third spray should be applied about
two weeks before the fruit is harvest
