JULY 26. 1927 - r, -------— VOL.XXX1X ■ ï I ■/1 ■ i PERENNIAL CANKER REING ORSERVED (Ry Leroy Childs) Immediately following the discovery of perennial canker in tbe spring of 192fi, expert mental work waa started for the purpose of determining meth ods of natural infection that occur on tire trees and to develop control mea sures. Very definite progress has been made aloug this line. During the year of 1H25-26 conditions were such that no infection occurred. Investigation baa shown that natural infection for the moat part takes place on areas of tiie trees infested with woolly aphids followed by temperatures sufficie^iy severe to permit freezing of the tree tissues. During the course of the study a large number of pruning wounds and cankers have l*en under continuous oboervatioA wound on a tree, whether In the form of a pruning scar or Injury caused by a disease such ss [s rennial canker, anthracnose and tb<- like, proceeds to recover from this in jury by growing new tissue between the bark and wood forming what is known as a callous growth. This callus Is rather succulent and soft making an ideal place upon which woolly aphids feed, often during late summer aud early fail a targe percentage of these calluses become infested with aphids. The feeding aphids irritate tbe cell structure to such an extent that the callus becomes knotted and spongy. These spongy areas fill in with sap and with the occurrence of freezing weather burst This bursting permits the en trance of tbe spores which an found in targe numbers on the dead wood sur rounding the cankers and Infection la thus established. Tbe fungus starts growth a short time after the spore gains entrance spreading quite rapidly, forming ths canker. This development Is finally checked when tree growth starts In the spring. Obasrvatlona have been made employ ing sound pruning wounds, that is, those cuts poeeesslng a healthy callus, perennial cankers possessing a sound callus and cankers where diseased tis sue waa removed by cutting, thus en abling a natural callus to form. On these different type« of calluses, aphids were permitted to feed and as a check, aphids ware kept from the calluses on all three types by applying Black Leaf st intervals throughout the summer with aa ordinary brush. During the winter of 1226-20, at which time the temperature failed to drop below JO* above aero, no infection developed on any of the cankers or pruning wounds under observation whether aiJilda fed upon them or not, with a very few exceptions. These in fection«, scarcely targe as one’s finger nail, were always associated with aphid colonle«. The same cankers and cal luses were under observation during the Winter of 1920-27. The minimum temperature recorded • at the station was 11’ below aero. At the time tbe experiments were í A» -v-". iiïtâé, Rev. William A.
