American Pomolooical Society.— Bien¬ 
nial Proceedings for 1881. Prof. W. J. Beal 
of Lansing, Mich, is now the Secretary of this 
society and the editor of the work which con¬ 
sists of over 200 elegantly printed pages nearly 
12 inches in length. We have had no time to 
examine the present number, though, confident 
that Prof. Beal is no less earnest and compe¬ 
tent than his respected predecessor Mr. Rob¬ 
ert Manning,it is no doubt as valuable as ever. 
Let us now say that these publications should 
be in the hands of every pomologist in this 
country.

Coal Tar for Fruit Trees —In the Que¬ 
rist the question lias been asked wliether coal 
tar would destroy borers in apple and peach 
trees without injury to the trees, I have used 
it successfully for four or five years as follows: 
Dig down to the roots, clearing them from the 
soil, and with a small paddle, such as painters 
use to stir their paint, apply to the roots and to 
the body of the tree to about a foot above 
ground, and then return the soil. The tar 
should be rubbed down bard and smooth. I 
have never known the tar to injure any tree, 
though I have used it upon the limbs and in 
crotches to kill insects.

The Catalpa.— “ B. F. J.,” in a late Rural, 
is at a loss to understand why the catalpa is 
so puffed in latitudes where some half dozen 
other native trees are superior to it in shade, 
beauty and value as timber, and mentions as 
his preference the Osage Orange and Blue Ash 
for hard wood, the Bass and Cottonwood for 
soft. May I ask why B. F. J. thus 6peaks so 
disparagingly of a tree (presumably the Catat- 
pa speciosa) that is so highly spoken of by so 
many of late years; one, too (if wecau believe 
all thatis written anil said concerning it), that 
is so admirably adapted to the requirements of 
the farmer as well as the manufacturer?

The most attractive and 
the most complete 
Dodder.— To the interesting article on dod¬ 
der in the Rural of February 25th, I wish to 
add that it is very destructive to willows 
(S. vimiualis), which it embraces so closely as 
to cause a swelling of the branch, just such as 
a wire or cord would produce. I t seldom kills 
the branch, but renders it worthless for tying 
or basket work, as it cannot be peeled.

It has all the qualities

state of the art. 
Aye.— ^Why can’t the Rural aid the peo¬ 
ple in fighting the N. P. R. R. grant? We 
don’t want the road but we do want the land. 
The Columbia River and its tributaries afford 
ample outlet for products and people. The 
people want no subsidy and no railroad where 
the most of the land is held for the R. R. Co.,

The Wheat Isosoma. —The Wheat Euetny 
described by Professor C. V. Riley in the Ru¬

four years ago. It destroyed Joule’s leaving

touched. The berry shrinks and is rendered 
worthless.
