FARM COLLEGE AT LAHP SHOW
Soil Teats. Saeda, Qro Paata, Fruit
Judgea and Young Oratera From
Oregon Agricultural College
With complete exhibits of soil
tests, rseedIcropslfield, orchard
and garden pests and diseases,
With judging teams and young
orators for the prie competi
tions representing the student
body and several professors on
the programme, the Oregon
Agricultural College wfcs well
represented at the Portland
Land Show which just c osed.
rrorn the agronomyldeparj;-
ment'therehad been sent repre
sentatives to show the complete
processes offsoil analysis, seed
testing, and crop production,
with an pxhjbit of every type of
soil in the state, and field and
garden crops raised under the
direction of the experts at tlje
branch experiment stations jn
Harney, herman, Crook and
Morrow counties and on .the
home station farm at Corvallis.
The Crook county potato ex
hibit and the corn from Corvallis
were unusually fine, he latter
much the best ever shown in the
state. It included 3Q0 or 400 of
the selected college .bred ears re
sulting from years of breeding
experiments. The cpllege exten
sion divison expects to holo! ,an
annual field crop show in which
there will be prizes offered in
contests in the growing of com,
potatoes, wheat, .barley and other
crops.
A large number of jpsecj pests
were shown by the .entomology
department, giving the various
stages from the egg to the lar
vae, pupae and adult .forms of
those injurious to orchard, small
fruit and garden crops. Scales,
moths, weevils, slugs, maggots,
borers and other dangerous forms
of life which infest orchards and
gardens were mounted in glass
covered panels, including 80jme
from Mexcio, California and the
West Indes.
The plant pathology depart
ment showed many diseases
found within the state, such as
apple tree anthracnose, peach
leaf cur, apple scab, California
peach blight, potato diseases,
crown gall, cherry.gummpsis, fire
blight, smut, mushroom root rot,
alfalfa and cabbage diseases, dij
seases of garden flowers, and
vegetable diseases.
A team of six students from as
many states represented the col
lege in the prize oratorical con
test, vieing for the honor of giv-
ng the best orginal address on a
horlcultural subject. They spoke
on "keeking up Oregqn's reput
ation," "cooperation,' "mar
ket ncr." Eastvs west," econo
mics of Orchard Management,"
"Cooperative Canneries".
Prof. C. I. Lewis spoke on
"Loganberries" and Prof. V. R.
Gardner on "Nut Growing in
the Pac fie Northwest." JProt. A.

CHERRY TREE DISEASE.
Unlete Precautions Are Taken Gum

"Certnln varieties' of tuo cpltlvntcc
sweet cbcrry found In tbo Paclflo
northwest aro very subject to a dls
eased condition which Is commonly
known as 'cherry gummosls,'" uaya
Fred L. drlflln. a graduate student of
the Oregon Agricultural college, dis
cussing some Investigations which be
carried on in the plant pathology de
partment Uierc.
"The dlseaso Is characterized by s
more or less copious exudation of gum
from 4ho tree," Mr. Griffin continues,
"tho gum coming from tho branches,
spurs and buds as well as from the
trunk, and a pustulated appearanco of
(bo bark is noted near the diseased
areas. Often but little gnm Is exuded,
but In such cases an examination of
tho affected trees generally discloses
discolored tissues which are infiltrated
with gum. Such areas are spongy to
tho touch and aro usually discernible

the former the disease Is apparently
confined to a rather limited' area on
the trunk or branches, such area being
most often associated with a blighted
spur or bud. In the generalized form
large areas of tho trunk or branch may
become Involved, and It often results
In complete girdling. This latter type
of gummosls often appears to origi
nate in the crotch of the tree."
Mr. Orlffln'baa suggested that the
ose of top worked, resistant stocks will
prevent body girdling. Mazzard seed
lings top grafted to Lambert cherries
have proved quite successful in thin
connection, as have the same seedlings
top budded to Roynl Annes. The
