R. E. Smith * publishes his examination of the California peach 

 blight, which is found wherever peaches are cultivated in California, and 

 which is increasingly hurtful. It is caused by the fungus Coryneum 

 Beijerinkii, which attacks the leaves and young shoots, causing spots 

 and finally killing the parts attacked. The spores alight on the young 

 twigs, and with sufficient moisture they germinate and penetrate the 

 bark. Gum is exuded copiously from the injured twigs.
