canker becomes old, u.sually the second 

 year, the bark cracks away from the 

 edges, becomes loose and drops out, 

 leaving unsightly scars. As stated pre- 

 viously, the disease is known to cause 

 a storage rot of the fruit. It first ap- 

 pears on the surface as small, light 

 brown, circular spots of rotting tissue. 

 These spots generally enlarge and later 

 change to very dark or black, even- 

 tually becoming dry, depressed and 

 rather tough. Pustules similar to those 

 formed in the cankers soon develop, 

 quite commonly making their appear- 

 ance in concentric circles. 



Anthracnose is caused by a parasitic 

 fungus known as "Xeofabrrea malicor- 

 ticis." It produces two kinds of spores 

 or reproductive bodies. The summer 

 spores, or conidia, are formed during 

 the first year of the development of the 

 canker. They are mature by late sum- 

 mer or fall and are ejected in a gela- 

 tinous mass from each of the small 

 pustules found on the cankers. These 

 spores are readily separated by water, 

 rain, dew, or certain summer sprays 

 serving as agents in this respect. On 

 being liberated they are scattered by 

 various agencies and each one is capa- 

 ble of producing a new infection. The 

 winter spores, or ascospores, are devel- 

 oped the second year, within small club 

 shaped structures borne in disk-like 

 bodies that occupy the position of the 

 pustules of the previous season. Fol- 

 lowing the fall rains these spores are 

 discharged with force and are carried 

 away by the wind. Like the conidia, 

 upon germination they are capable of 

 producing new infections. It has been 

 found that conidiospores are also de- 

 veloped from old layers around the 

 edges of the pustules producing the 

 ascospore stage and also in the bark of 

 cankers three years old. If the bark 

 drops to the ground at the end of the 

 first year, the winter spores may be 

 developed in such bark on the ground. 



Thorough spraying and jjiuning are 

 essential in order to control the disease. 

 The spraying should be done inune- 

 diately after the fruit is picked, as at 

 this time the spores are most abundant 

 and new infections most likely to take 

 place. The 0-6-50 bordeaux is recom- 

 mended. If the fall rains begin early 

 and the trees are harboring old cankers 

 an additional spraying about three 

 weeks later is advisable. Too much 

 emidiasis cannot be placed on thorough 

 pruning. It is advisable, where possi- 

 ijle, to do this before the first spraying. 

 All small twigs and branches showing 

 any signs of the disease should be re- 

 moved. Old cankers on the larger 

 branches should be cut out without 

 fail, as they are very serious sources 

 of spore production, and the wounds 

 should be i)rotected in order to keep 

 out wood-rotting fungi and insect pests. 

 The cut edges of the bark and the 

 caiiibium should be painted with shel- 

 lac, and as soon as this dries the entire 

 wound may be covered with coal tar or 

 any good paint. The prunings and all 

 bark removed from the cankers should 

 be burned. — Washington State Experi-
