The work, which was entrusted to the Siemens Halske company of Berlin, is extensive and will entail a total outlay of about $26,000,000.

Wi®>4 MOSAIC MENACE i TO RASPBERRIES' • Much of the difficulty in maintain-, ing quality and yields of raspberries,| particularly red raspberries, in New York, has been attributed to what is called “running out,” but it has been found that an infectious disease known as mosaic is responsible. Also, it isnow known tliqt healthy stock can be kept reasonably free from this disease. Thus it is possible to grow any variety and obtain its usual yield and quality, says W. H. Rankin of the experiment station at Geneva who spoke recently at Cornell university, Ithaca, N. Y. Mosaic spreads from plant to plant only when plant lice carry it. The lice themselves do no harm. A plant onceinoculated is diseased thorughout and* becomes less productive, although itmay live for several years. This mo--saic disease has caused growers to give up raspberries as unprofitable, so the present raspberry acreage in New York is low. Obtaining stock from fields known to be practically free from mosaic is thefirst step in control. Inspecting the planting the first two years may sf.o.v a few diseased plants. These should be removed carefully so that the lice are not shaken off. The roots of red varieties must be dug to prevent diseased suckers from coming up. In western New York these measures insure little loss from mosaic. A few varieties remain free fromi mosaic or are little damaged by it. Such varieties are recommended, especially for the lower Hudson River valley where mosaic is difficult to control by removing the diseased plants,. Propagating Grapes by Means of Cuttings Best The accepted and orthodox way o£ propagating grapes is by means of cutting?. Notwithstanding this, however,, the grafting of grapes may be practiced for one or more of several reasons. Established vines of undesirablevarieties in the vineyard may be topworked to more desirable varieties. Invariably European grapes are grafted onto American grape stock in> order to offset or avoid the ill of phylloxera injury. This is the customary practice whether the grapesare to be grown in America or Europe. The phylloxera is a louse which,, during one stage of its . life history*, attacks grape roots. It is “100 per cent American.” and was not known in Europe until after Ajnerica was explored and some of our native graptes* infested witli phylloxera lice were carried to Eurojie by returning explorers, American grapes have endured its parasitic attacks so long that they havebecome partially immune to its injurious effects. And this immunity makes; American grapes valuable as stock, upon which to graft the susceptiblechoice wine grapes of France and; other continental countries. Pruning When Knife Is Sharp Gaining Favor Prune when the knife is sharp is a good w-orking rule for the orchard, believes T. J. Talbert of the MissouriCollege of Agriculture. If the work, is done properly, it may be helpful at any time of year. Formation of main branches and the elimination of thick, clusters that shade the fruit, as well as the removal of dead or badly diseased branches, may prove profitableat any time of year. In general, the principal work should be done after the leaves, drop in the fall and before they appear in the spring. ‘ At any time during the_dormani season when men may work comfortably out of doors, the pruning, work be carried on with profit. Labor is more easily secured in thefall and winter than in the spring sothat large commercial orchards must prune when the labor is available. However, pruning can be done at any time, before growth is fully started. | Horticultural Hints ®* ®®®®®®@®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®«®®®- [f you want good apples, spray. Insects are no respecters of persons. * * * Planting for best results should bedone as early in .the season as theground can be prepared. ♦ ♦ • In the case of fruit trees as well as; i practically all fruits in the MiddleWest, spring is the best planting season. ♦ * * One-year-old apple trees cut to 40» inches when set develop more branches the first year than trees cut to 30> inches. • * • . Efficient cold storage pkmts with* facilities for precooling, icing, and reicing fruit have been tremendously developed in recent years. • • * More bearing apple havebeen thoroughly pruned this winter than ever before. This should mean;' a higher percentage of good apples. • Stayman and Delicious apple trees demand well-aerated soil. , The fruit becomes small after a few years when; these varieties are planted upon soil that is too dense. • • • The aphids or plant lice are probably the most generally troublesome garden insects. They attack nearly all crops and often cause the withering or death, of the plants. Greatly improved quality and increased yields of fruit are the chief advantages to be gained by grafting desirable varieties of grapes on hardy root stocks. This is the glad word • from F. E. Gladwin, Geneva station, who has been experimenting with grafted grapes for the past several years. A ■ z..'-x <'. ,r.
