It was also noted that approximately

seems more probable that those cal

freezing, probably had aphids present

the removal of soma of these, old aphid

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,

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

nail, were always associated with aphid

temperature recorded • at the station
