BACTERIAL LEAF SPOT OF PEACH. 
L AST Summer peach grower j about 
Hammontou, N. J., complained that 
the foliage of their trees was being in¬ 
jured by some sort of a leaf-spot which 
finally caused the foliage to drop from the 
trees. The variety Elberta app*ared to 
be affected more seriously than other va¬ 
rieties. This leaf-spot trouble began to 
appear again in June of the present year. 
Samples of the foliage were sent to Dr. 
M. T. Cook of the New Jersey Experi¬ 
ment Station, and he identified the disease 
as the bacterial leaf-spot of the peach. 
Bacterial Leaf Scot On Peaches. 
This disease has been more or less com¬ 
mon for some time in southern peach dis¬ 
tricts and has also been reported from 
Connecticut. It has undoubtedly oc¬ 
curred in New Jersey for some years, but 
never caused serious damage. 
The disease first attacks the leaves 
upon the northwest side of the tree, grad¬ 
ually spreading to the southeast side and 
in severe cases causes almost complete 
defoliation. The fruit upon trees thus 
affected fails to mature properly and is a 
loss to the grower. In severe attacks the 
fruit is also affected and is distinguished 
from the disease known as peach scab by 
irregular cracks in the skin of the fruit. 
Connett’s Early was found to be ser¬ 
iously attacked both in leaf and fruit in 
one orchard. At Ilammonton the most 
susceptible varieties are Elberta, Con¬ 
nett’s. Carman, Reeves’ Favorite, and 
Mountain Rose; while Belle of Georgia 
and Maule’s Early appeared to be resist¬ 
ant. In the State Experiment Orchard 
at Vineland, Globe and Susquehanna have 
appeared to be susceptible varieties. As 
this is a bacterial disease there is no 
satisfactory remedy known for its control. 
In general it is seldom serious for more 
than a single season. It is evident, how¬ 
ever, from the injury to the peach indus¬ 
try about Ilammonton last season that 
further study of the disease is impera¬ 
tive and it is hoped that means will be 
provided so that the Department of Plant 
Pathology of the New Jersey Experiment 
Station may be able to carry out some 
investigations next year.

Wharton Valley in Otsego Co., N. Y., 
is a beautiful location. The farms in this 
valley are mostly owned by the people 
who inhabit them. Therefore more in¬ 
terest is taken. The buildings in most in¬ 
stances are kept well painted with large 
spacious lawns which are kept well mown 
and give an appearance of a village or 
city home. The crops are good in most 
cases; hay especially was of a very fine 
quality and a large crop. Most farmers 
cutting more than in previous years. The 
oat and corn crops are exceptionally good. 
Dairying is the principal occupation, the 
black and white cattle predominating, and 
many are running wholly to purebred. 
One of the largest bottling plants of the 
Borden Condensed Milk Co. is located 
at Edmeston, N. Y. where most of the 
farmers carry their milk. Much poultry 
is kept generally the White Leghorns. 
The eggs are mostly shipped to the city. 
One of the best organized and working 
Granges in the State is also located at 
Edmeston, N. Y. The meetings are reg¬ 
ularly and largely attended. The degree 
work is exemplified by the young ladies of 
the Grange in a manner that does credit 
to themselves and the Grange. H. E.

Study This Car 
This HUDSON Six-40 for 1915 is a car 
for every man to consider. 
Howard E. Coffin, the great HUDSON 
engineer, offers this as the ideal Six. He has 
worked for four years on it—he and his staff 
of 47 expert designers. Since last year’s 
model they have added 31 new features. 
What such men call “ Our finished Six ” 
well deserves your study. 
Over-Taxes Ended 
This car marks the end of excess—in size 
and power, in price and weight, in upkeep and 
operative cost. 
It is large enough. There is ample room 
for seven. It has power enough—47 horse¬ 
power—for any possible requirement. 
It weighs 2,890 pounds. Cars of this 
capacity, built in cruder ways, used to weigh 
around 4,000 pounds. By better materials 
and better designing we have saved that 
needless over-weight—that 
heavy tax on tires. Yet there 
never was a sturdier car. 
the handsomest cars ever built, 
and detail shows the final touch. 
Every line 
There are many new ideas in equipment. 
There are comforts and conveniences found 
in no other car as yet. A study of this car 
will reveal sources of attractions which you 
haven’t seen before. 
All for $1,550 
In the new HUDSON you get all these 
new features. You get them in the highest 
type of a quality car—one of the finest ex¬ 
amples of new-day engineering. And this 
year’s price is $ 1,550, f. o. b. Detroit. That’s 
$200 less than last year, because of a 
trebled output. 
Go see what a car that price now buys. 
Measure it with other cars and prices. You 
cannot then go wrong. 
Hudson dealers are everywhere. 
New catalog on request. 
A new-type motor reduces 
fuel cost about 30 per cent. 
The new price—$1,550—is 
by far the lowest ever quoted 
on a high-grade car. 
These things mean enormous 
savings. They mean that men 
no longer need to suffer over-tax.
