I , t '' i 11 ! 1 Plant Pathologist Discusses Diseases Peculiar to Pecans From time to time* ! receive in quiries concerning diseases which are damafrinu the pecans, trees as ‘Well as the production of nuts. I quote helow an article from Dr. W. D. Moore, Kxtension Plant Pathologist, in which he hiscusses the important pecan diseases, which are scalp, brown leaf ■ pot, mill-dew and nursery blight, all of which may be found working together or sepalutely in any pecan grove in the State. The article fol lows below, which should be of value to (TioST' having diseases among their pecans: t . Scab Most impotant. Scab is by far the most important disease on pecans throughout South < arolina. It is particularly severe from tip- coast inland for a distance of 1 r.O miles. This disease varies m its severity among aU the popular varie ties being extremely destructive on (Georgia. San Saba and Delmas. The Van Deman, Schley and Pabso arc less severely attacked although extreme eases have been noted also off'these : varieties. The Stewart, Frotscher, Moneymaker, Success and Tesche are practically immune to scab. Where * ' . one is experiencing trouble on sus- ceptable varieties, it would be well to top-work the old trees with wood from resistant trees. However^ it is possible to grow the most suseepta- ble varieties if a rigid spray schedule is carefully followed. Control Methods. It is not possible to give an exact spray schedule for pecan diseases, since climatic conditions will deter mine the number of sprays to be ap plied. Use a d-l-ftO (4 pounds Mile stone, 4 pounds lane. . r >0 gallons of water) Bordeaux mixture, to which should be addl'd ore pound of resin- fishoil soap to every 50 gallons of spray solution in order to increase its spreading and sticking quality. Apply with a power spray pump or else a high pressure hand pump at Lit to pounds, pressure or more, using every precaution to thoroughly cover every leaf and limb. The lirst ap plication should be made when the leaves first open, and then as often as is necessary to keep all leaves and growing nuts well covered with tin- spray. Continue this until Sep tember. This spray plan will Control the other diseases mentioned above as well as seal*. In connection with spraying a rigid sanitary practice should be~~followed. T)ie trees should be freed of all clinging nuts during the winter, all dead limbs pruned out, and all leaves, k hells and other fallen debris be neath the trees, thoroughly plowed under. In this way many fungus har boring places can be destroyed." Those who are interested in secur ing assistance in the proper spiay- ing of their pecan trees may sir ure such assistance fi an me. 1 should be glad to visit any one, starting them off to spray.

Some years ago I began to raise a home fund, by requesting my admir ers to contribute free-will offerings. The late C. P. Hodges, of Brownsville, was the first contiibutor, and others •liave contributed to the fund, more or less generously, from time to time, and at last I have purchased the home --on the installment plan. I made the first paymeat leaving myself not quite “broke”—with money thus contributed by friends and admirers from many places. The gent^man from whom I pur chased has given me extremely liber al terms. . No man could have offered terms more'liberal. And 1 am now asking my friends and admirers everywhere, who surely rejoice to know that I am at last about to vftx\- ize my long-cherished desire for* a home, to contribute to my 1 ome fund, in honor and. celebration' of my dHth birthday. ■ / , . i. All money, thus contributed, will b(. so used. None of it will be used for anything else, until my home is paid for. If any one desires refer ences before contributing, references will be furnished. I expect to move in to my new home, next year. I have rented it for tl’iis year, to help in meeting in- tere-t, insurance and tax charges. I have here told my story, made my appeal frankly. 1 have omitted or concealed—nothing. The income from my literary labors, together with contributions from my friends, is the only means I have in- my somi- helpless condition, of getting any of the comforts of Pfe. , My annual “birthday letter party” is now an institution in my shut-in deprived life. I will receive grate fully any and everything my f» iends may have to send me for my birth day celebration. This is an open, bona fide appeal to any and everybody able and wil ling to do so, to help settle "Ben Hope” in his own home. Address your communication to J. S. Love (“Ben Hope”), York, b C. “BEN HOPE.” Two rich and prominent Northern ers have died in Florida in the past week.
