culture anyway, and if the anthracnose succeeds in enforcing them 

 upon the attention of growers, its mission will have been fulfilled. 

 If, therefore, a patch became very badly diseased, I should pull it 

 out ; or if that were too violent, then I should mow off the bushes 

 in fall, burn all the brush, and the following year, soak the new 

 shoots with Bordeaux mixture as they grow. By sacrificing a year 

 it might be possible to eradicate the disease. But I am sure that it 

 can be kept in check by attention to the three operations which I 

 have mentioned. 



Root-galls (Fig. 132), are often found on raspberries. They have 

 not been carefully studied and the origin of them is not understood. 

 The commonest form is apparently not the work of insects, but is 

 likely of similar nature to the galls which infect the roots of the 

 peach,"^ pear, and other fruits in New York State. The first indica- 

 tion of their presence is a general enfeebling or yellowing of the 

 bush. If there are no visible injuries of insects or fungi above 

 ground, pull up a bush and examine the roots. If galls are found, 

 make another patch at once on new land. 



There are various other diseases and a number of insect pests of 

 the raspberry, but there are few of them which should give serious 

 trouble to the person who has carefully followed the teachings of 

 the experiment stations.
