utes, our actual knowledge of plant dis- 

 eases, the best methods of combating 

 them and the progress that has been 

 made, together with a suggestion or two 

 as to some improvements tliat may be 

 expected in the future. In accepting the 

 invitation I was fully aware that I could 

 not in so short a time begin to cover so 

 much ground with a suflBcient degree of 

 thoroughness to give an adequate idea 

 even of the most important bearings of 

 pathology on horticulture, but I conclud- 

 ed that the committee must have had in 

 mind that I would use their request as an 

 illustration of the greatest failing, not 

 only in pathological investigation but in 

 the application of methods recommended 

 for the control of diseases; namely, too 

 much haste and lack of thoroughness. 

 These are failings incident to work in a 

 new country under great pressure, where 

 the field is large and the workers few. 

 There has been a good measure of eco- 

 nomic justification for the mistakes of 

 the past, and they are teaching us valu- 

 able lessons for our guidance in the fu- 

 ture. "What we need now to do is to care- 

 fully study these successes and failures 

 and determine as accurately as may be 

 possible their causes, as a basis for im- 

 proved practice. The old conditions are 

 rapidly changing; the new times require 

 more careful and intensive methods. 



Varieties Unsttited to Climate. 



One-crop farming, too short and un- 

 wise crop rotations, improper methods of 

 fertilizing and culture, with destruction 

 of humus and the life and fertility of the 

 soil, careless methods of propagation and 

 seed selection, the use of varieties not 

 adapted to soil and climate, or other lim- 

 iting conditions, are responsible for loss 

 from diseases in a larger degree than is 

 realized. An orange, a plum, or peach, 

 or apple, or any other tree or shrub, 

 whose cambium responds to a few warm 

 days in winter or early spring, is not a

safe variety to plant in localities where 

 such warm periods occur. Plants of 

 northern range, accustomed to respond 

 to lower initial heat stimulus, are thus 

 subject to winter injury in more south- 

 ern latitudes. On the other hand, plants 

 of southern range planted north start 

 later, are less subject to late frosts, but 

 may be injured by early frosts. "These 

 cold injuries are often hardly noticeable, 

 but they are suflScient to weaken the 

 plant and open the way for trunk cank- 

 ers and numerous other parasitic diseases 

 which the trees could otherwise resist. 



Varieties Unsuited to SoiL 



A soil slightly too acid or alkaline for 

 a particular variety, though not enough 

 to prevent growth, may nevertheless 

 weaken the root system and, in fact, the 

 whole plant, making it subject to serious 

 disease. So, also, the moisture or tem- 

 perature fluctuations of the soil and its 

 aeration may be unfavorable to a par- 

 ticular variety, making it less resistant 

 to disease, if not actually causing a path- 

 ological condition in itself. Too little at- 

 tention has been given to these factors 

 by the farmers and horticulturists, as 

 well as by the pathologists. 



An important duty in this new century 

 will be to develop a better appreciation

and more accurate understanding of the 

 relation of these factors to health and 

 disease. The cropping system of a farm 

 or orchard, the planting of a nursery or 

 a park, to be satisfactory and successful 

 in securing healthy growth, must be un- 

 dertaken only after a careful considera- 

 tion of all these factors involved. Like 

 the architect, the horticulturist and the 

 farmer must have a carefully thought-out 

 plan and as nearly as possible see the 

 end from the beginning.
