.Hack knot of the Plum and Cherry.

I'unluu I'ui v.-rity Kxj) ntii.-m station, ' t '. t:. MS. i The opinion is ijuite prevalent am ng farmers and many fruit growers, that the disease known as Black Knot, si often found upon plum and cherry trees, is caused by certain Inaacts. It is true that we may often lind upon cutting open these knnt-i, the larvae of certain La acta, bul it is a universally recognized fart, among those who have given the matter careful attention, , that these uiiMuhtlv. knottv axera. . ...

They are then of a yellow iah C dor, but get darker with age. In May and June, a crop of spores, which answer to ceeds iu higher iilint- i, ! , i ,. . . r. 1 1 ii tlu .ill rfaeo nf 1 hn r i -rrv" "v kn ,t"S resembling to tue r.akea eye ,1 Mm uu u i;u dii:. i . i , - iuvu lisapnears, when the knots continue " "ri to yet dirker until winter, when . , , , i n iiv ,i'.,.i i ii i'ri.ir'1 'fur .1 ' n H '( v" y . T" T'"" " " color, winch makes them go con spicuous at this season of the year. If examined carefully late in the Wl, the surface of the knot will be umu'1 w vmm J minute pimplen or elevations, each one of which is a fruit of the fungus in which the winter spores are contained. These are in turn distributed later on, and tind a lodging place iu the crotches of limbs and in the openings of the bark, and at the junctions of the annual growths. As these spores germi nate they send their vegetative organs into the growing tissues of the branch causing swellings, which often extend along the branches four or five inches. These vegetative tissue do not all die during the winter, but some live over and so new swellings, at the edgesj of the old ones, may be seen the following year. In this way the branch may continue tj be infested until finally it becomes completely surrounded, when the circulation i- cut off and the branch dies. When these knots appear upon several branches ai tne same time, it i only a question of a very sl(,rt time belore the tree will die. Treatment. The treatment gen erally recommended is to cut off the knots and burn them, which is a g .d thing to do, if it is done before the winter spores hayp been distributed. If not, then some additional treatment will be necessary. It is recommended therefore, that all 'knots" be cut off and burned during this month, (February) and in addition to this, spray the trees with a strong solution of Bordeaux mixturt d '.ring the first warm days af spring. About the time that buds start, sprav again with the ordinary strength Bordeaux mixture. This ought to destroy all of the winter spores. Then in c.-e the blanches may have been already infected the previous year, they shoul 1 be sprayed again during toe latter prt of Slav and the first of June. The young knots may be destroyed by painting them with chloro-naptho-leum or with pure kerosene oil. Whenever these remedies are thor nimbly applied, there will be no trouble in controlling th disease providing all old, worthless trees have been cut out and burned and provided also that all the people of the entire neighborhood co-operate in this plan of action. Wherever the Damson plum is grown this disMbM is almost sure to be present ; and it is one of "injurious plant disaaaaa" referred to in the Indiana inspection law. Tbe necessity for prompt action on the part of allownen of infested trees, will be evident to all. J. Tuoor. Horticulturist. It is no bliss To miss a kiss, But, oh, 'tis bliss To kiss I miss.
