 its maximum fine quality. 



In addition to outlining the work 

 done in the interest of citrus fruit 

 growers, and in lessening the losses 

 from watermelon rot and developing 

 better methods of handling muskmelons, 

 the report mentions results obtained in 

 dealing with diseases of deciduous tree 

 fruits. Cedar rust on apples, it states, 

 continues to attract considerable atten- 

 tion and has been severe in certain 

 localities. One of the striking things, 

 however, in orchard pathology has been 

 the fact that in many of the large com- 

 mercial orchard districts of the eastern 

 Appalachian Mountains, where cedar 

 rust threatened the destruction of the 

 value of the orchards, complete or par- 

 tial eradication of the cedar trees in the 

 vicinity of the apple orchards, usually 

 within a radius of one mile, has com- 

 pletely solved the problem in the most 

 practical, simple and permanent way 

 and at very slight expense. While the 

 destruction of the red cedars is to be 

 regretted, this tree in the vicinity of 

 apple orchards has come to be a verita- 

 ble pest tree, and where the cedar rust 

 fungus has been peculiarly abundant 

 the necessity for its destruction has 

 been amply demonstrated by the re- 

 peated experiences of the past few 

 years. 



Practical field tests in perfecting the 

 methods of control of apple bitter rot 

 have been carried on in the Ozark sec- 

 tion with very satisfactory results. Re- 

 moval of cankers and diseased fruit, 

 supplemented by spraying, reduced 

 damage by the disease to two per cent 

 on early varieties and one per cent on 

 late varieties. The orchard in which 

 these field tests were conducted had 

 previously, despite our best efforts in

WHEN men are drawn together in the army, you 

 find out a lot about their likes and dislikes. It's 

 always been a great place for the spread of W-3 

 CUT popularity. They show each other why you 

 shouldn't take more than a little chew of W-B CUT. 

 Every shred is chock full of sap; a big chew is too rich. 

 They take to W-B CUT, strong: nothing is too good 

 for our soldiers.
