of the yellows line — from Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Texas, 

 or California. 



A Member : Will those trees stand our hard winters 

 here ? 



Prof. Waite : Yes ; there is no difference in the northern 

 and southern grown stock in that respect. I would prefer 

 to make sure that I got from outside the yellows area. 



A Member : Would you plant trees on the same ground 

 after taking the old diseased trees out? 



Prof. Waite: Yes sir, but I prefer giving the ground 

 a year's rest. 



Question No. 57 from the Question List was called up 

 and discussed. 



Question 57: — "Some trouble is striking at the roots 

 of our peach trees and soon killing them. Who can tell what 

 it is, and the remedy?"' 



Mr. C. E. Lyman : I notice that this trouble seems to be 

 striking the new trees now coming into bearing. It is like 

 club root. The life of the root seems to be gone, dead. A 

 tree that would ordinarily require the strength of a horse to 

 pull it can easily be uprooted by a man. Often the trouble 

 strikes a clump of trees. 



No one present was able to give any light on the ques- 

 tion. 



President Putnam: If there is nothing further on this 

 matter of peach diseases we will pass on to the next topic on 

 our program, which is that of the San Jose scale. This trouble 

 is no less important to most of us than the yellows question, 

 and I am sure we shall be glad to hear from Prof. Jarvis of 

 the Storrs Experiment Station, who has devoted considerable 

 attention to developing the new home-made oil remedies for 

 the treatment of the scale.
