THE MED FORI) DAILY TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON, THURSDAY. OCTOBER 28. 100!).
TREATMENT FOR
PEACH BLIGHT
Oregon Agricultural College Issues
Bulletin of Instructions to
Orchardists.
The Oregon Agricultural colic:
lias issued the following information :
Now is the time to spray for the
peach blight so prevalent in Oregon
It is hoped that every grower of
oeaches will spray this fill and so
help to eradicate this disease from
the state.
The reputation of the Oregon
peaches is seriously threatened by
the presence of the Fruit Spot on
shipped peaches, as it is showu by
the number of shipments that have
been condemned by watchful, fruit
inspectors.
' . The disease known as peach blight,
" or California peach blight is caused
1 by a fungus technically known as
Coreyneum beyeriukii. It occurs in
A three forms; on the twigs, where it
produces a blight of the buds aud
some times small cankers at the base
of bl-gliled buds, which may girdle
! twigs and small branches; as a leaf
spot, producing a shot-hole effect,
and as a fruit spot. It is in the latter
form that the grower most frequently
notices the disease and the one which
he is liable to consider the most ser
ious, it is however to tne eranicnuoii
of the twig blight thta he should di
rect his most strenuous efforts. 11
the twig blight could be thoroughly
eradicated there would be no source
of infection for the young fruit in
spring, and it will free from the fruit
spot at maturity.
The disease under discussion is
easily controlled by spraying with
the Bordeaux mixture in the fall.
Use the 6 6 56 formula and apply
as soon as the fruit is off and before
the fall raim& begin or s awn after
as the weatfcer wifl pemUs..lt is im
portant that a special effort be made
to cover all the twigs s2 Aasanches
throughly. If scale is yrvmaf use
lime-sulphur (30 degrees "Beaume)
diluted 1 to 12. In very severe cases
it frequently happens that one foil
spraying will ont be sufficient to con
trol the fruit spot. In such cases
summer spraying may be success
fully practiced. A recent bulletin
from the Oregon Agricultural college
and experiment station, by Prof. A.,
B. Cordley and Mr. C. C. Cate, enti
tled "Spraying for Peach Fruit Spot"
gives the results of two year's exper
imentation in fall and summer spray
ing for the fruit spot, and it is con
clusively shown that this, form of the1
.disease may be practically eradicated
. by summer spraying with the Bor-1
deaux mixture or lime-sulphur.. . If j
Bordeaux is preferred, it seems, to
have given slightly, better results, the
36 50 formula . . should ;be- used;
Woods
if lime sulphur is used as n summer
spray, a stock solution registering
30 degrees Bcaumo should be diluted
1 to 2,". The first application should
be made nbout May 10 and a second
about June 1. The full spray was
found to bo the most important.
Continued use of the fall sprays
will be found sufficient to hold the
disease in check after it is once un
der control.
Every grower of peaches . should
have a ropy of the bulletin mentioned
above and it will be sent to anyone
on application to the O. A. C. Expert
went station. Specify bulletin lOlx.
The station department of Plant
Pnthologv has recently been reorgan
ized and is better equipped than ever
before to answer inquiries in regard
to plant diseases and stands ready to
do so at any time.

SHOES ARE
NEEDED FOR SOUTH
"Lazy Germ" Enters Southerners
Though Feet Causes Spread .
of Tuberculosis
MOBILK. Ala., Oct. 28. More
thun '10.000,000 pairs of shoes or
boots are needed .to stamp out the
hook wonn disease in the south.
Practically the only way to banish
the affliction is to shoe all tho per
sons who now customarily go bare
foot, including all the little black
pickaninnies. The matter is to be
brought to the attention of John I),
board. The germ is in the southern
soil and enters the system through
the feet.
The Public Health and Marine
hospital service lias completed its in
vestigation of the hook worm disease
ami announces that the negro, is be
coming immune, though n large car
rier of the genu. The blacks nre said
to have brought it hero from Africa.
It is the presence of the germ in such
numbers in the negro, the Washing
ton experts say,, which reduces the
general power of resistance and ren
ders hint so liable to tuberculosis.
Thus the hook worm germ is the indi
rect cause of consumption.
The economic advance of the south
will be impossible beyond n certain
point, the government soys it fern's,
unless the hook worm germ is ban
ished. It not only makes thc"oor
white" and the negro lazy and shift
less, but puts a mental handicap on
all the children. Chnrlos Warden
Stiles of the Public Health and Ma
rine, hospital service says he esti
mates the physical conditio of the
southern country school children is
such that they cannot possibly assim
ilat much over 70 per cent of the ed
ucation the receive, the rest being
wasted.
The hook worm is said by the gov
ernment scientists to enter the system
mostly by the feet and ankles,
though it is also received into the
stomach through the eating of raw
vegetables and the drinking of con
taminated water. The ' wearing of
shoes would therefore, they say, do
more than anything else to banish the
disease. How to get the plantation
negro to do this is now the great pro
blem of the south. To shoe nn entire
population of ten millions' is a job for
a Rockefeller or a Carnegie.

BANK CLEARING
BREAK ALL RECORDS
Will Exceed Banner Year of 1907
by at Least Fifty Mll
' lion Dollars.
PORTLAND, Oct. 28. Portland's
bank clearings for tho present year
will exceed those of any former yonr
by fully .10,000,000. Tho record for
the banner year, 11107, was ftlfifl,
032.422. while tho total for 11100 will
easily hit tho $400,000,000 mark by
maintaining tho present daily aver
ago. At the same lime November
and December will without doubt be
tho two banner months (,f the year.
Tho reason for this, according to
local financiers, lies in two or three
directions. In tho first place, as was
showu in yesterday's Telegram, (hero
is nn enormous .amount of railroad
building going on in the northwest.
The big payrolls aud the money for
structural material for tho most part
arc negotiated through (he local
banks. In the second place, there is
renewed activity in the lumber mar
ket, which it is believed will continue
for mouths to come, and in tho third
place, there will be a heavy increase
in the movement of the cereal crop
immediately after November 1, when
the railroad will put in effect their
12Vs I'cr cent reduction in the rate on
grain from first hands to tidewater.
The grain movement has been rather
slack for tho lust few weeks, pending
the enforcement of the cut in rates
recently ordered against tho North
cm Pacific by the Washington rail
road commission, and met by the O.
Hj & N. The shipper and farmers
have simply been waiting until the
lower rate shall become oporativo;
The millions of bushels of grain
which will begin flowing this way
next week will boost the clearings
substantially.
