Disease notes <s>by J. W. Roberts:</s> Some leaf spot

While the tree shows no disease,nor
does it appear weak, it is surprisingly
small; most of the trees in this particular
area appear below normal in size.  May
be same crown gall, though it does not
show. Fruit spurs are not numerous, but probably
enough for a good crop.
