APPLE SCAB IS
CAUSE OF LOSS
Famous Last Words
A cool, wet period will result In tre
m endous losses to New Jersey apple
grow ers unless they tak e prom pt ac
tion to protect th eir trees against scab.
T his Is the w arning sounded by W. IL
M artin, New Jersey Stute college plant
pathologist, who continues:
"Apple scab w as th e cause of seri
ous losses In many orchards last year.
In a num ber o f Instances trees were
completely defoliated by th is disease.
The fact th a t the fungus causing the
disease over-w inters on th e fallen
leuves m akes it a serious menace
again this year.
"In the old leaves, scab form s black
spore-cases sm aller than the head of
a pin. In the spring spores m ature In
these and a re discharged Into the air
during periods of rainy w eather. F all
ing on th e blossoms or young leaves,
the spores germ inate and produce the
typical scab spots.
“T he fact th a t th e spores are m a
tu re Is of extrem e Im portance to the
grower. He should be prepared to ap
ply th e pink-bud spray at once, espe
cially In the southern counties of the
state. In m aking th is application the
relation of rainfall to the discharge
of the scab Spores m ust be kept clear
ly In mind. W ithout rain there will
be no spore discharge. F o r th is rea
son It Is very essential th a t th e first
applications be made before rath er
than a fte r rainy periods.
If made
a fte r the rain the treatm en t will be
too late to accomplish the best results.
The grow er who applies his pink ap
plication before n rainy period and
then m aintains a protective coat of
spray m aterial will have no difficulty
in th e control of scuh.”
Blackberry Planting Is
Made to Last for Years
Once a blackberry planting is made,
it will last for many years, but the
canM last only tw o years. These
canes grow from th e crown In the
spring and they live until a fte r the
fruiting season of the following year.
W hen they die, o th er canes nre ready
to tak e their places, these new ones
having grown from the crow ns d u r
ing the spring.
Since berries nre borne only on
canes which are In th eir second sea
son's growth, it will be necessary to
govern pruning accordingly.
U sually blackberries nre planted
Just as early In the spring as th e land
can be prepared, preferably on fall-
plowed land. The earlier th e plants
are set, the more chance they have
of living, and the b etter will be th eir
growth. Usually rows are kept about
eight feet ap art, and th e plants are
set In the rows from two and one-half
to four feet apart.

Cities Losing Residents
R ab b it Economics
Villages and small tow ns ure again
showing increase In population, con
trary to popular understanding. As a
luatter of fact the in stitu te of Social
und Religious R esearch has found
from heretofore unpublished census
figures that the rate of city popula
tion Increase In 1900 to 1920, fell from
84 per cent to 82.1 per cent, while the
rural rute was pushed up to 20.7 per
cent.
The discrepancy Is due to govern
ment bookkeeping, according to Rob

the survey. The governm ent auto
matically changes a town or village
to a city when It reaches 2,000 popu

Fertility Is Necessary
for a Strawberry Crop
In order for a straw berry, and p ar
ticularly an everbearing straw berry,
to produce Its maximum, It Is neces
sary th a t plenty of fertility be pro
vided. They simply m ust have plant
food If they are to be expected to
produce. They also must have plenty
of moisture.
Given these req u ire
ments, berries are alm ost a certainty.
The plants are set Just as any other
straw berry plants would be set In the
spring, hut to give th e plants an extra
good sta rt, to give them a boost th at
will Insure a sum m er nnd fall crop, a
h alf teaspoonfuj or so of sulphate ol
am m onia may be scattered around the
plant and worked Into the soli, but
not brought In direct contact with the
plant, of course. Keep the blossoms
picked off for a couple of months and
then m aintain co n stan t cultivation
throughout th e season, and you should
have berries, unless the w eather turns
off extrem ely dry.

wns sent out by the extension service
In regard to dem onstration grapevines,
brought In 78 Inquiries.
"P roper pruning and cultivation will
greatly Increase grape production,"
sta te s R. 8. H errick, secretary of t b e
Iowa H orticultural society. “M ature
vines should be pruned on the long-
cane system ns th at will give g reater
production th an th e sh o rt method.
Leave eight to ten buds on each of
four arm s ; each arm being wood th a t
grew last year. Tie up the four arm s
