parasitic fungi.
Three different fungi specimen.
are being taken back 70 College
Station to determine exactly which
is causing the trouble. and a later
report may be forthcoming. he
said.
AS q first precaution against any
loss from decay he said that great
care should be given the orch
ards. AL dead wood should be cut
off and all fruit picked from the
ground. These furnish incubation
spots for the parasite, especially
during rainy weather as has been
experienced recently.
In addition to this he says the
fruit should be carefully handled
after being taken from the pack
ing house, one outstanding sug-
gestion being to keep II cold.
Il am making these statements
not to discourage any grower"
said DR.. Taubenhaus. but rather
TO show the growers how they
may avoid losses. When we have
determined the fungi. we may have
a specific remedy. During the grow

This time OF the year he SAID
the fruit should be clipped and not
pulled. gloves being used to prevent
spread OF the infection.
The doctor expects to make q

laboratory findings at the earliest
possible date.
