From the Mosier Bulletin
In pursuing scab investigation!.
Hugo E. Birkner, who for tbe put five
years has made orchard work a ipecial
study, and who has carefully prepared
himself by a study of 'national and
state horticultural bulletins, practical
experience, and a thorough course of
instruction under the Davey Tree Ex
pert company, of Illinois, was asked to
give to the readers of the Bulletin the
pathology and history of apple scab.
Mr. Birkner, who has charge of the or
chard of F. A. Shogren, ia of an inves
tigating trend of mind, and ia con
stantly laboring for tbo control and
elimination of all orchard infections
and diseases.
Following ia Mr. Birkner'a treatise
on the subject of apple scab:
Apple Scab (Venturia inoequalis.)
"This fungus disease is one of the
most destructive with which the apple
growers have to contend, owing to its
wide range and almost annual occur
ance. It will become injurious every
season if there is sufficient moieture at
the right periods for the spores to
mature and germinate.
"Unlike the other destructive dis
eases, the scab may cause its injury
early in tbe season and even destroy
the crop without the orchardist realiz
ing the cause.
"The winter stage is passed in the
dead leaves upon the ground. If the j
weather is favorable, as the leaves are
developing in the spring, the atco
Epores (spores in cases) mature and
are shot intn the air to be caught by
the wind and carried to the young fruit
or leaves where they germinate and
start infection. A couple of cold, rainy
days during hte first month or two of
growth is most favorable for this to
happen.
'After the leaves and fruit are once
infected from these spores, the scab
spots produced are capable of forming
the summer spores (conidiophores) by
which the disease can be spread, at
any time when the weather conditions
are favorable, even un to the time
when the fruit is nearly ready to pick.
The greatest damage can be done
during a rainy spell juet before, during
or after the blossoming period. If the
condiitona are favorable at this time.
the greatest injury is caused by the
stems of the fruit becoming infected,
As the scab develops, it interferes
with the proper flow of sap at this
point, preventing the fruit from devel
oping, lliis injury causes the young
apples to fall just after blossoming or
as the "June drop."
In this way, the crop is destroyed
so early in the season that the grower
does not realize the full extent of his
Ions, or if he does, he generally attrib
utes it to cold weather, imperfect pol
Ionization of the fruit, or to a number
of other imaginary causes. When he
comes to know the real culprit, is usu
lly the time when he begins to spray
to protect himself against this loss.
If the fruit is sprayed with a fungi
cide in such a manner as to keep it
thoroughly covored, the spores of the
fungus are uanble to germinate and
penetrate the tissue and consequently
cannot produce the scab spots. A dry
spring that prevents the ascospores in
the fallen leaves upon the ground from
maturing, or the spores from germi
nating and penetrating the tissues of
the leaves and young fruit, will accom
plish the same result. To cause infec
tion requires a rainy spell of from 36
to 48 hours. A cold drizzling rsin
makes the ideal condition for the
spread of the disease.
"1 he best protection by the fungi
cide is secured by spraying the trees
thoroughly as soon as the blossom buds
separate sufficiently to make it possi
ble to reach the stems with tbe solu
tion, but the work must be started in
time to complete it before the blos
soms open.
"A second application should be
made just after the petals fall and a
third about three or four weeks later.
In case the trees are infected and the
weather rainy, a fourth application
should be made nine to ten weeks after
the petals fall, to prevent late infec
tion of the fruit.
"Historically, scab is not a new dis
ease although of apparently recent oc
currence here. It is known practically
everywhere the apple grows in Amer
ica, Europe, Australia, New Zealand,
Africa, and elsewhere. It is essential
ly a cool climate disease and in the
southern states only occurs in the ele
vated districts.
Scab was the first apple disease to
receive the attention of investigators,
and its successful treatment was
worked out as early as 1891. In 1892
the Cornell station came to the reali
zation of the importance of early
spraying for scab. In this year the
first application, using "Bordeaux mix
ture was made June 13, about one
week after the blossoms had fallen
from tne trees. At the time of the
second spray, June 22, small portions
affected with scab fungus could occa
sionally be found upon the apples in
places thickly covered by the Bordeaux
mixture previously applied. These por
tions were undoubtedly attacked before
the first spray waa made." This spray
it will be seen was applied soon after
the petals fell but waa too late. That
the first spray should be on before the
blossoms open was made evident by
the findings of another investigator
who found tha mycelium upon apple
twigs even before tha buds broke.
Following these findings, Lodemon in
1896 recommended the following sched
ule for scab control : First, spray with
a solution of copper sulphate when the
buds are swelling; second, spray with
Bordeaux mixture just before the blos
soms open ; and third, spray as soon as
the petals fall with Bordeaux mixture.
I Later sprays he recommended if the
weather was conducive tocctbdeve
I opmeni w Ben so treated, the f rnit
and toe loiiaga win oe practically per
reel as regards acao lrjury.' In the
same year find Galloway advising
hte following schedule: Toe Bordeaux
mixture, making, tha first application
before tbe blossoms open. When the
flowers are opening spray again, then
a third time when the fruit in about
the size of a pea. After this two or
more treatments should te made, the
number depending son, e hut on the
variety treated, weather rendition, and
so forth. Ordinarily, five sprsjingi
will be sufficient to hold the diet ase in
check, but if tbe sesson is rainy more
should be given.'
"In 1906, ten yeas latir, Waite ha
the following campaign to offer
'bpray witn Bordeaux (either 4-5-50
or the 5-5-50 formula.) as follows
rim, when the cluster LuU.s have
opened and exposed the tluwer buds
second, just after the ptt:ils have fat
len; third, a week or ten db.vs later
and, fourth, two weeks after the third
spraying, in a rainy season this dis
ease is rather difficult tu control and
may require five or six applications
In case of a dry spring, huwever, only
three sprayings are require!.'
A 1 . .nAI. tit
n year laier, pvi, w. ai. acott roc
ommended spraying 'with Bordeaux
mixture 5-5-50 formula, ticn the clus
ter buds are open but before blooming
and again as soon as the petals have
fallen. If the second application has
not been very thorough, a third should
be made seven or ten days later. In
case of a wet spring three siiravinss
are usually necessary.
In 1909, Duggar, submits the follow
ing spray campaign for scab: 'At
least.one spraying should he made with
strong Bordeaux mixture before bios
sommg. A second spraying may be
given immediately after the petals fall
and at least one more two Keeks after
the second. Tbe conditions, however,
must determine the length of time in
tervening and the number of applica
tions made.'
Again in 1912 W. M. Scott, after re
peated experiments had the following
in a government bulletin: 'Until re
cently spraying with bordeaux mix
ture constituted the remedy for scab,
out owing 10 me injurious eilect on
both the fruit and foliage produced by
mis oinerwise excellent lungicide, es
pecialy during wet seasons, dilute lime
sulphur solution is rapidly coming into
UBe as a substitute for it. Lime sul
phur has about the same fungicide
value as Bordeaux mixture in the
treatment of apple scab and produces
aeciueaiy less injury to iruit and foli
age. Taking a solution registering .12
aegrees tsaurne as a standard, the
strength to use in spraying for scab is
U or 1$ gallons to each 50 gallons of
water, bpray the tree first when the
cluster buds open, juet before blossom
ing ; second, as soon as the petals fall
and third, two or three weeks later.
"In April 1915, C. S. Jackson, of the
uregon Agricultural College, recom
mended the use of lime and sulphur in
preierence to me riordeaux.
In Australia Masses recommends
the pruning off and burning of all in
fected twigs. "When the leaf buds
begin to swell and before they expand,
spray with Bordeaux mixture full
strength. Then when the leaves are
quite young spray with half strength
iioraeaux mixture. Spraying withuut
firuning off the infected shoots ia use
ess.'"

West Fork Berries Good
The two growers of strawberries on
the headwaters of the West Fork have
had bumper crops this season. U. 1.
Stone, who owns the last ranch on the
road to Lost Lake, says he will get
more than 200 crates of fine fruit off
his young two acre tract. Hershey
Markley will harvest approximately
juuu crates.
"The fruit has been blossoming ex
ceedingly well this season," says Mr.
alone. Ihe berries have shown
blooms since the first week in Mav.
and I will continue to harvet until the
middle of the month. The recent rains
we had in that district have caused a
new growth and fresh blooms."

EAST SIDE YOUNG
MEN CATCH BURGLAR
Two young men of the East Side,
Fred Brokaw and Chester Monacot,
last Friday caught a burglxr at the
home of J. D. McCully, Nestledyn.
Mr. brokaw is in charge of the place
during the absence of Mr. ar d Mrs.
McCully. who are at Josephs. He had
been in the habit of entering the place
hy a basement door. The key waa
kept under a mat there.
On Friday, when the young men
were taking eggs to the cellar, they
discovered that someone bad taken the
key and entered the house. They found
that eggs, potatoes and other provi
sions were missing. A box from a
pantry, filled with eggs, led them to
believe that the cutorit was still in the
house, nad sure enough, after the
lights were turned on, they soon saw
his feet, as he stood on the stairs. The
man showed fight, but was quickly
tamed when Brokaw pulled a big jack
knife from his pocket, leveling it as he
would have done a pistol, and threat
ened to shoot.
Ihe young men told the burelar. a
foreigner about 35 years of aie and
evidently a tramp, that they would re
lease him. if he would return the stolen
goods. The man led them to nearby
jungles, where they secured tbe booty,
which had been placed in burlap bags
and cached.
We have just received our Spring

from $3 to $ 1 0. We are sure that
we can please you both in price
