COMMON DISEASES OF BOSH FRUITS BY W. H. RANKIN. PH. D., DIVISION OF FARMS. (Continued from last week). Orange Rust and Late Yellow Rurt. Orange rust caused by the fungus. Gymn-oc"n!a interstitialis (schl. ) Lag. occurs cc:umaly oa 'both blackberry and raspberry and at times is the cause of considerable tnjury. Late yellow rust Kuahneoca albida (Kuehc. P. Mag.) occurs only on blackberry and in regions north of Virginia it is not considered an important disease. The cranse rust occurs early in the spring ajid is often noticed before the leaves are entirely unfolded. The first signs are on the upper surface of the leaflets where glandular bodies appear and latsr develop tnto black dots. The surrounxiing tissue be- eomes yellowish. About two weeks later the lower s-uriaces of die leaf- lets become covered with bodies which rupture and e<hed masses of orange-colored dust spores. The leaflets are dwarfed and curled. Later the spore masses disappear and by aiul- -i:r.ir.'-.- the only indication of ^l e d*eae te the dwarfed and sainted uarare of the piants. lilat-kberrieB and raspberries nev>r recover, once they are attacked >bei auae tbe fuogus tores from jw to year within the BM6 and rco:s. The clouds of orange colored spores which come from the leaves infect, directly, the nearby healthy busfaies. The only means of control is to dig and destroy the rusted bushes. Nearby wild blackberries end raapberrwa should be destroyed as fa*? may also be af- fected. Yellows or Leaf-Curl. This is a disease of raspberries only so fae as Is known. The casual agent is yet undetermined. It is probable that it is catieed by a trans- BOTANY, EXPERIMENTAL a genera! stunted, pale colDred and bushy appearance of the plants, re- sembling in many ways peach yel- lows. The leaves are small, the edges cur! downwards and during the summ }.- according to wmther condi- tions they become yellowed or mot- tled and finally bronze-colored. The berries color prematurely or bJoome dried. The fruit from diseased bus-lies te said to be bitter. The diieas,? U worse on compact soil which is not properly drained. The only aijans- of control known are to select resistant varieties, plant on weH drained soil and destroy, by dig- ging, the diseased bushes. The p'.anrs once attached n-ever recover, aind 'healthy bushes nearby will con- tract the disease. Anthracnase. This disease which is common upon both blackberry and raspberry is more serious to the raspberry. It is caused by the fuajus G'.oeosporium venecum Speg. All parts of the blacfcb'rry and raspberry bus*! above ground may w r vffec'.ed. On the raspberry the first symptoms are near the bases of the cants. Spots, at first purplis'j, became evident and Oh/en later develop into targe elliptical, greyish whit?, scabby ureas with a found oa the drupels. \\~here the spots coalesce and become large the cone is often girdled and the entire growth above is dwarfed and sickly. The petiole* and leaflets are also sOTietL-nes attacked and wlutlsh blis- ters are formed Spou are also fond on the drupels. Where the canes are bad>y affected the fruit ripens prematurely or becom.es dried. The fungus remains over winter in developed and by the time th shoou are alz in"Jit-a high; (3) just -before the btcaaoms appear. L^t-r spray- ing at two-week intervals may also be needed, according to the weather and severity of tbe attack. Lsat Spot. Thin disease is ca-used by the fun- gus Septoria rubi Wesid and occurs on both blackberry and rasjfoerry, more dajcnage uaually being cau6?d to the blackberry. !: ia not conskleTed a eertous disease although at times the. leave*, when h*avi!y spotted, dry up. The spots are small ami vary from Idght t dark brown accordic? to che variety. In. the older spots the centre fcacomee whitish. Th? same treatmaat aa for Anthracnoee is said to give fair control.

The only control measures known are to prune off and burn the diseased canes. The fungus has been known to live In dead cane* for as long as four years, therefore after a sever* 1 i:Lfc-s:aiioQ it would be wise not to replant ihe same area for several years.
