Hartford [Harford] Co., Md.-- James S. Harris, Still Pond, Md., Letter of Jan. 31, '88

Yellows is becoming general in South New Jersey.- See J. McSmalley, Roadstown,
N.J., Letter of Jan. 30, ' 88
Quote all of this. [see p. 301]

Mr. Wyckoff says that Yellows still <s>extent</s> exists to some extent
in Monmouth Co., N.J.  As a rule the orchards are now
healthy and long-lived.  One of his orchards has borne eleven
successive crops and is now healthy.  He thinks yellows is a 
root disease.  The harm comes from contact of diseased roots
with healthy ones, but orchards are much more healthy and long-lived
than they were twenty-five or thirty years back.  They
seemed to have run out at one time, but are doing well now."
David S. Wyckoff, Freehold, Monmouth Co., N.J., Letter of
Jan. 28, 1888.

This man thinks yellows entirely the fault of nurserymen
in planting diseased pits.  Thinks we have nothing to
fear if sound trees are planted.
