Fungus Diseases on Grapes and Cherries

If WE HAVE a wet summer
watch your pet cherry tree for
signs Of following of the leaves
and premature dropping OF the
foliage.
II these symptoms appear your
tree probably is suffering from
leaf spot or yellow leaf. This di-
sease is caused by fungus. The
spotted leaves, illustrated in the
accompanying Garden-Graph, fall
early. This loss of foliage not
only weakens the tree so that 1t
may winter-kill, but II also re-
duces the number of fruit buds
for the following year. This can
be especially serious because Of
this years short crop Of cherries
due to killing frosts.
The yellow. fallen leaves should
be cleaned up around an infected
cherry tree and burned, otherwise,
the fungus which causes the dis
ease will survive the winter in
the old leaves and spores In the

Back To Work
Forum To Be
Held Sunday

A mass meeting of Penn Salt en-
ployes TO discuss return to work
has been called for pm. Sunday
at the Roosevelt high school audi
forum.
Sponsored by the Back to Work"
committee of employees, the meet
ing will consist of an open forum
discussion to determine the view
point Of workers in regard to re-
turning to work. There is a grow
ing feeling that is getting bigger
from week to week among the Penn
Salt employees to get back to work
and there seems to be no question
but that most of the employees are
anxious to go back as soon as pos
sible," the committee said.
All employees attending the meet
ing will be required to show a
badge or Identification card in
order to insure that the Penn Salt
workers are truly represented, the
committee said.
A previous meeting was called
by the local 1900. UMWA, on Oc-
tober 19 for a vote on the union
back-to-work proposal which en-
ployes voted down 183-111. The
vote had been called after the
company had submitted a five per
cent wage increase but no union
shop provisions.
The strike is now in its eighth
week and was called for seniority
rights, increase in wages and closed
shop.
