TO PREVENT GUM DISEASE LEMON GUM DISEASE OR GUM-MOSIS IN CALIFORNIA Methods of Control of the Disease—Avoid Unfavorable Conditions—The Sour Orange Root Desirable for Budding—Improvement of the Soil Under the general term "gum disease," as comprehended in this bulletin we include all the more definite troubles with citrus trees in California in which the exudation of gum takes place. It may be said here without extended discussion that in no case have we been able to recognize or demonstrate the presence of any fungus, bacterium or other parasitic as the cause of any form of citrus gum disease. This phase of the matter has received very careful attention at the Whittier laboratory during the past three years, and from the very numerous cultures and microscopic examinations which have been made without finding any indication whatever of any such parasite, we feel safe in concluding that the diseases hereafter described are of a physiological or autogenous nature, brought about by a deranged condition of the tree itself. This conclusion is based on a very large amount of careful work, and coincides with the results of much observation in the field as to the probable nature of these diseases, as well as the experience of many practical growers. The appearance and occurrence of the diseases is not such as to point to parasitic infection as the primary cause when the matter is led to any one specific trouble be best given to the disease under consideration. While distinguished as the gum disease the lemon, the characteristic is not confined to lemon tree therefore a name which this limitation is not well We therefore suggest the species of the name "Gummosis" forence to this form of disease mosis is characterized by arising out of gummy sap on the of the tree, from the point ding up to a rather limited The exudation of gum stops abruptly at the line the place where the tree wded. It has little tendency down into the roots, nor do typical cases spread up into the ches or even high on the trunk the most characteristic form disease the breaking out of takes place for only a short above the crown of the tree. In two respects the disease decidedly from the usual food Florida and Europe; it does affect the root or cause a dthe bark. Closer examination shows that gum does not originate in but breaks out through the by mechanical pressure from If the bark is removed from affected area, it is found to be dried from the wood to a con extent, and the cambium lies between the bark and wood, as the inner bark and outer of the wood, is discolored and or less affected.

In several the bark of the affected portl "My youngest boy, 3 years old, was sick with fever last June, and when he got better the doctor prescribed Scott's Emulsion, and he liked it so well that he drank it out of the bottle, and is now just as plump and strong as any child of his age anywhere... two bottles fixed him OK."—MR. JOHN F. TEDDER, Box 263, Teague-Freestone Co., Texas. The tendency of citrus trees, as well as those of the stonefruits, to form gum when mechanically injured is readily demonstrated by experiment. If the trunk of a citrus tree is injured in almost any manner, either by bruising, pounding or by the application of acid or any injurious substance, gumming frequently results. The flow of gum may not be confined entirely to the point where the wound is made, but often an irritation is produced which is transmitted to a considerable distance and the gumming spreads up the trunk. Cases are not infrequent in fumigation where sulphuric acid or the residue from the combined acid and cyanide of potash is poured against the trunk of the tree or upon the main roots, and the side of the trunk up to a considerable height, far above the point where the liquid was applied, is injured and breaks out in gumming. No definite disease can be described as a result of injury, but the gumming produced in this way is well known and very suggestive. The term Gummosis, if it be appli- In this form of disease little or no indication of any growth of the bark, such as scabbing or scaling, but simply breaking through of the gum from within by mechanical pressure. Another characteristic effect trouble is an abnormal set of fruit by affected trees, with premature maturity. Truly affected are always covered a large amount of premature fruit, showing in lemons a brown color while still small moss has been much more evident in wet years than the which the winter rains were amount. This relation of an amount of soil moisture is present every way, both as regainful and irrigation. The most important concern in regard to the control of this is the fact that since there is brought about solely by able conditions it can be more prevented by avoiding those tions than it can be cure once started. By the same thing, the cure of the disease chiefly along the line of improvement of the conditions which have led it rather than by any tion of the tree itself. The avoid gum disease should be one chief considerations of the starting a citrus grove, par with lemons. In the choice of tension heavy, wet ground should avoided, unless it can be dry improved in some manner. On land which is otherwise able for planting, but has so manyities which would make it gum disease, considerable in can be obtained by planting budded upon the Florida so- Scott’s Emulsion, and he liked it so well that he drank it out of the bottle, and is now just as plump and strong as any child of his age anywhere... two bottles fixed him OK.”—MR. JOHN F. TEDDER, Box 263, Teague-Freestone Co., Texas. SCOTT’S EMULSION is the greatest help for babies and young children there is. It just fits their need; it just suits their delicate, sensitive natures; they thrive on it. Just a little does them so much good and saves you so much worry. You owe it to them and yourself to make them as strong and healthy as possible. Scott’s Emulsion will help you better than anything else; but be sure to get Scott’s. It’s the best, and there are so many worthless imitations. ALL DRUGGISTS Mr. Tedder has just written us another letter about his brother-in-law’s children. Let us send you his letters and other information on the subject. A Post Card, mentioning this paper, is sufficient. SCOTT & BOWNE 409 Pearl Street New York one specific trouble, may lead to the disease now unheard in the disease now unheard. While commonly used as the gum disease of the characteristic trouble defined to lemon trees, and its name which suggests it is not well chosen, we suggest the specific use of "Gummosis" for referencing form of disease. Gum characterized by a break-gummy sap on the trunk, from the point of bud-burden, a rather limited height. Formation of gum commonly occurs at the line showing where the tree was budded little tendency to run through the roots, nor does it in its spread up into the branched high on the trunk. In characteristic form of the breaking out of gum for only a short distance crown of the tree. Respects the disease differs from the usual foot-rot of all Europe; it does not affect or cause a decay of examination shows that the root originate in the bark, but out through the latter mechanical pressure from within. It is removed from the affine, it is found to be separable from the wood to a considerble area of the cambium layer just under the bark and wood, as well over bark and outer portions, is discolored and more affected. The area affected large or small, according to our may continue to spread until the tree is girdled. In severe cases of the affected portions dies er time required to produce such a tree. Possibly an extra season may be necessary to get the young seedlings up to sufficient size to bud them at the desired height. The advantage gained, however, is much greater than this slight objection. Whether the trees are high-budded or not, care should be taken not to plant them too deeply in the ground. Gum disease is induced in a great many young trees the first year in the orchard by planting them with the bud union below the surface, where they become covered with the soil. This is extremely undesirable. The prevention of gummosis in the orchard is entirely a matter of the avoidance of the conditions which have been shown to be the cause of the disease. The accumulation of soil or water about the trunks, allowing the same soil to become hardened and the lack of drainage or cultivation, or the accumulation of surface water, either from irrigation or rain, must be carefully avoided. All these precautions are particularly necessary in places where the soil conditions are such as to favor the disease. In such places special care must be taken to keep the ground thoroughly stirred close up about the trunk of the trees and prevent either soil or water from accumulating about them. If this is accomplished one need have little fear of gummosis. The treatment of affected trees must consist first of all in an improvement of soil conditions. It is idle to work upon the trees themselves or to look for any remedy for application to the affected parts until the original conditions which produce the trouble have been corrected. If this is not done, the work done upon the trees will be thrown The treatment of affected trees must consist first of all in an improvement of soil conditions. It is idle to work upon the trees themselves or to look for any remedy for application to the affected parts until the original conditions which produce the trouble have been corrected. If this is not done, the work done upon the trees will be thrown away, since gummosis will begin again at the first favorable time. In the treatment of affected trees one should therefore begin with a thorough stirring of the soil about the trees clear up to the trunks. It will, no doubt, be necessary to do much of this by hand with a mat-tock, but there is no other method of accomplishing the desired result. After thoroughly loosening up the soil a space of at least two feet in diameter must be cleared about the trunk, removing the accumulated soil down to the roots, exposing the bud union. In many cases a foot or more of washed-in soil will be found at this point.—By Prof. R. E. Smith. CATARRH ELY'S CREAM BALM FOR COLD IN CATARRH HEAD HAY-FEVER HEADACHE TRADE MARK ELY.BROS.
