BLACK ROOT ROT OF APPLE A Plant Disease NeW To Soutl Carolina Clemson College.?An apple dis ease which has not previously bee: reported in South Carolina has re cently been found near Walhalla namely,, black root rot. The affected apple trees h^v smaller, yellowish leaves, and dfr within a year or two. No other ev: dence of disease can be foun above ground except occasionally cankered area extending upwar just a few inches. When the root are uncovered, however a large pre portion of them are found to b rotted in varying degrees and to b covered with a rough, liard, blac incrustation. This crust of fungou tissue is characteristic of the du ease and makes its recognition aasj No treatment for diseased tree has been developed and it does no seem likely that any ever will bf As the trees usually die, the bes way of handling the trouble is t dig out affected trees. It is possibl to replant with fair assurance o success when Northern Spy root i used. One nursery company is no\ selling trees on this stock. The plant pathologist suggest tha the disease is apt to be worse 01 virgin land than on land Ion) in cultivation, and that for this rea ion it is well to cultivate land ii the ordinary field crops for two o shree years after clearing befor< jetting apples. It is also advisabli lot to cultivate too deeply near th< ;rees, as injured roots are mor< ikely to ibecome infected than un njured ones.
