So it pays to get ready for spraying. When you ao spray you ought to be I
prepared to do the job right. I

HORTICULTURE
CROWN GALL AND HAIRY
ROOT. I
Editor Dcscrct lamicr: 1 am a
subscriber to the Dcscrct Farmer and
have been since it started. I trust
the paper will live long to help fight
the cause of horticulture.
Will you publish the following in
i your paper? What is the cause of
I Crown Gall and Hairy Root on nurs
ery stock as well as other trees?
Can these diseases be detected by
the looks of the wood under the
bark? CrdwTi Gall is very easily de
tected by large bsmall bunches on
roots, but I find differences of opin
ion among nurserymen iYid inspect
ors, as to hairy root. All information
you can give this subject or any lit
erature that can be recommended will
be very much appreciated.

Answer by Prof. R. S. Northrop.
The crown-gall and hairy root
troubles which arc so often met with
on nursery stock, arc not well under
stood. A number of years ago, Prof.
Tourney of the Arizona Experiment
Station, conducted a long scries of
experiments on this trouble and came
to the conclusion that crown-gall
was the result of one of the Myx
onyectes which arc some of the
lowest forms of plant life. This,
however, has been disputed by somes
recent scientists although, while dis
puting, these men cannot find-hc
specific organism which is responsi
ble for this condition. Again some
scientists claim that crown gait and
hair root arc norboth caused by the
same infc,cti5n, while others have
madrinvestigations that lead' them to
,-fsupposc that the two conditions are
different expressions of the same or
ganism working on the tree.
I cannot positively say therefore,,
what the exact cause is, but all peo
ple who have thoroughly investigated
this trouble, so far as I know, are
agreed that infected plants should
not be used: "As regards identifying
the various conditions it is impossi
ble to lay down absolute rules. Crown
gall can be . identified by the galls
which occur in the early stages and
also by the long slender, slick roots
which usually exist. Hairy root, is
in mild" cases, undoubtedly the hard
( est to recognize but when the roots
aonie off in little tufts and arc hair
likcand fairly well distributed, with
the tendency for the main root to be
come sickly and weak in appearance,
the disease is evident and the stock
should be rejected.
I have, in times past, published two
or three articles in the Dcscrct Farm- ji
cr which deal with this question. M
The lintiuircr, by 'referring to his
files, can find the articles mentioned.
If it is desired that other literature
be secured' for a study of this mat- (
ter, I would suggest that the bulle- j
tins which have been published by
the department of agriculture, can be
secured by writing to the depart-
ment. I

RASPBERRY CULTURE.
By Ira Anderson, B. Y. U. 1
Raspberries have come to be one J
of the most profitable of small fruits,
d
ranking jn first to the strawberry. j
A small patch ought to have a place '
in every home garden. A few bushes
will supply a large family. The rasp-
bcrris also a very profitable crop
to growyfor market. 1
There are two general varieties, J
nov cultivated in the United States, .1
,tfic black and the red. The black I
caps arc better as a commercial fruit. 1
The plants arc well adapted to cult- I
unal methods, being hardy and very M
productive, a very good shipper, and I
also a better keeper, than the red. j J
The latter is however, generally con
sidcrcd better for family use, .proba
bly because it is swectcrj but it docs
not stand shipping as well as the
