with  a  record  of  14,171  lbs. of  milk 
in  a  year,  and  529  lbs. of  butter  as a 
two-year  old, are  each  nursing  a  fine

be  herd  headers,  sired  as  they  are 
by  Colantha  Lad,  whose  dam  has a 
record  of  241^ lbs. of  butter  in  seven

remembered 
that  during  October

caused  the  buds  to  swell,  and  with 
the  advent  of  cold  weather  more  or

following 

letter  describing 
the  method  used  in  Illinois,  in  fight 
ing  the  San  Jose

doubly  interesting  to  the  readers  of 
the  R E C O R D,  as 
the  writer,  E.  C. 
Green,  '97, is  personally  known  to 
many  of  them. 

Soon  after  graduating,  Mr.  Green 
went  to  Illinois  to  take  charge  of 
the  spraying  operations  against  this 
insect,  under  the  direction  of  Dr.  S. 
In 
A.  Forbes,  State  Entomologist. 
September,  1898, he  became  demon 
strator  in insect  anatomy  and  lecturer 
in  economic 
the 
State  University  of  Illinois.  Dur 
ing  the  summer  vacation,  in  1899, 
he  acted  as  horticultural 
inspector 
and  assistant  to  the  State  Entomol 
ogist  and  inspected  the  nurseries  in 
the  northern  part  of  the  state.  As 
will  be  seen  from  his  letter,  he  now

fastened.  A  strong  pull  on the  guys 
now  sweeps  the  tent  over  the  tree, 
and,  after  the ropes are detached  and 
the  tent  skirts  drawn  in,  the  tree  is 
ready  for  fumigation.  A  common 
china  vessel  is  used  for  a  generator. 
In  this  are  put  twice  as  many  fluid 
ounces  of  sulphuric  acid  as  there  are 
hundred  cubic  feet  under  the  tent 
and  a like amount  of  water.  Cyanide 
of  potassium  crystals,  in  sufficient 
amount  to make  a  .2 per cent,  gas are 
then  dropped  into  the  dilute  acid. 
Forty  minutes is considered  the  right

the  gas 
beneath  the  tent. 

" A l t h o u g ht  his gas  is very  deadly, 
no  serious  accident  has  occurred  in

During  the  past  two  years,  Prof. 
'93,  Assistant 
Wendell  Paddock, 
Horticulturist  of 
the  N ew  Y o rk 
Experiment  Station,  and  Prof.  A. 
'8S,  Entomologist  of 
B.  Cordley, 
the  Oregon  Experiment  Station, 
have  been 
independently  studying 
what 
the  fruit  growers  of  N ew 
Y o rk  and  Oregon  have  known  as 
" a p p le  canker."  Careful  examina 
tion  of  the  infected  trees  has  con 
vinced  them  that  the  western  form 
of  the  disease  is  quite  distinct  from 
the  one  that  is  found  in  the  ^east, 
and  that  both  are  due  to  fungi. 

Prof.  Paddock  has  submitted  the 
results  of  his 
investigations  as  a 
thesis  for  a  Master's  degree.  T h ey 
have  also  been  published  as  a  bulle

of  the  fruit,  and  is  also  found  upon 
the  pear  and  quince. 
Its  presence 
is  indicated  by "  the  swollen  appear 
ance  of  the  limbs,  the  rough,  black 
bark,  and  in  many

depressed  areas  of  dead  bark  with 
definite  outlines,  on  limbs  that  may 
otherwise  be  smooth.  T he  fungus 
spreads  through  the  heart  wood  and 
interferes 
by  destroying  the  tissues 
with  the  flow  of  the  sap. 
In  severe 
cases  the  limb  is  completely  girdled 
and  when  a  large  branch  is  affected 
the  result  may  be  disastrous." 

T he  fact 

that  canker  and  black 
rot  are  caused  by  the  same  fungus 
was  shown  by  cross-inoculations. 

Prof.  Paddock  advises  thorough 
spraving  with  Bordeaux  mixture  as 
a  preventive  and  remedy  for  the 
disease.

Prof.  Cordley  gives  the  results  of 
his  study  of  the  Oregon  canker  in 
Bulletin  60  of  the  Oregon  Experi 
ment  Station,  a  copy  of  which  has

Such  areas  ceased 

to  enlarge  late 
the 
first 
in  May, and  early  in J u ne 
formation  was 
evidence  of  spore 
time  the  diseased 
noted.  At 
areas  were  dark  brown 
in  color, 
markedly  depressed,  and  in  most 
irregular 
cases 
limited  by  ragged, 
fissures,  which  separated 
the  dead 
from  the  living  tissues.  These  spots 
varied  in  size  from 
those  not  more 
inch  in  diameter,  to 
than  one-half 
extensive  areas  two  or  three 
inches 
wide  and  six  or  eight  long.  Occas 
ionally  a  single  area  completely  gir 
dles  a  branch,  thus  killing  at  once 
its  diital  portion,  but  more  com 
monly  a  dark  spot  occurs 
from 
which  in  the  course  of  a  few  months 
the  bark  sloughs  off, 
leaving  an 
ugly  wound,  which  requires  several 
years  to  heal. 

T he  investigations  of  Prof.  Cord 
ley  established  the  fact  that  the  dis 
ease  is due  to  a  fungus  to  which  he 
gave  the  name  Glceosporium  mali-
T he  spores  of  this  fungus

are  developed  in small  conical  eleva 
tions  of  the epidermis  of  the  diseased 
areas. 

By  inoculating  healthy  branches 
with  cultures  of  these  spores  it  was 
demonstrated 
the  disease  is 
that 
caused  by  the  fungus. 

Prof.  Cordley  was  not  able 
to 
conduct  any  experiments  in  control-
ing  the  disease,  but  as  similar  fungi 
can  be  held  in  check  by  the  use  of 
Bordeaux  mixture  and  other  copper 
compounds, he  believes  that  this  dis 
ease  will  also  yield  to  them.  T he 
bulletin  shows  a  large  amount  of 
careful  and  systematic  work,  and 
Prof.  Cordley  has  done  a  valuable

islands  and  the  naked  spars  of  an 
abandoned  ship.  An  eagle 
soars 
high  overhead,  ready  to pounce  upon 
the  first  timid  hare  that  comes  with

if  you 
enough  you  can  see  a  graceful  doe 
and  fawn  stealing  cautiously  along 
the  valley  beneath  you.  You  go 
back  to  camp  marvelling  upon  the 
goodness  and  greatness  of  God,  at 
the  world  and  with  a 
peace  with 
wonderful  lightness of  heart.  Break

In  the  evening  when  the  sun  has 
descended 
the  forest  and  the 
moon  has  risen,  clear  and  bright, 
casting  a  halo  about  the  tops  of  the 
trees,  while  underneath  all  is  weird 
and  ghostly  with  dark 
shadows, 
you  go  out  under  the  tallest  pine, 
lounge  lazily  upon  a  bed  of  moss 
and  meditate.  A h,  how  uneasily 
those  beautiful, 
conscience  stirs  in 
silent  nights  of  the  forest,  as  past 
memories 
resolu 
tions  fly  over  you  like  the  fleet-
winged  owl  that  passes  over  your 
head  so silently.  But  that  self  same 
owl  has  alighted  near  you  and  soon 
you  hear  his  mournful  whistling, 
seeming  to  chide  you  for  your  neg 
lected  duties  and  lost  opportunities, 
until  you  rise  up  in  anger  and  drive 
him  away.  But  the  thoughts  are 
still 
in  your  mind  and  again  you 
fling  yourself  down  upon  the  moss, 
vainly  endeavoring 
the 
surge  of  bitter  recollections,  but  you 
are  like  a  wrecked  ship  tossed  upon 
the  billows  of  the  sea  and  there  is 
no  rest.

After  a  while  a  sound  breaks  the 
look  up 
stillness  of  the  forest,  you 
and  see  a  deer  watching  you  with 
startled  eyes;  you  lie  still,  and, see 
ing  you  mean  no  harm,  it  walks  on 
beautiful  and  stately.  You  watch 
it  until  it  disappears  in  the  shadows 
of 
thinking 
how 
innocent  are  God's  creatures 
and  how  great  are  God's  creations, 
and  your  thoughts 
take  a  different

trend 
God's  creatures  and  God's  creations, 
are  we  not capable  of  being  innocent 
and  great  if  we  allow  H im  to  work 
His  will  within  us?  Y ou  begin  to 
think  of  the  future,  what  opportu

there  are  before  you,  and 
make  resolutions  as  to  how you  will 
grasp 
them,  and  above  all  you  re

look  up  to t he  sky, the

moon  seems  brighter 
than  before, 
the  leaves  of  the  trees  rustle  as  if  in 
approval  of  your 
thoughts,  and  a 
star  shoots  across  the  sky  seemingly 
to  register  your  vows  on  high.  T he

"  In  all  sports  it  is desirable  to de 
velop  some  agreeable  local  competi 
tion,  so  that  a 
large  number  of 
crews  and  teams  may  always  be  in 
practice;  to  develop  a  wholesome 
and  interesting  competition  at  home. 
"  It  is  still  a  matter  of  doubt 
whether  the intensified  games  which 
mainly 
interest  the  public  have  a 
good  physical  effect  on  the  players. 
"  T he principal  benefit  of  athletics 
accrues  to  the  hundreds  of  students 
who  play  wholesome  games  and

J.  Arnold  W h i t e,  '92,  is  at  Mus

the  Michigan  Mutual  Life  Insurance

faces,  gaits  and  voices, as was  shown 
when  an  old  M.  A.  C. 
instructor 
passed  that  way  a  few  weeks  since. 
J.  A.  caught  a glimpse  of  him  going 
by,  and  hurried  out  to  the  sidewalk
