Contrary to popular opinion, a large amount ol highly effective work can be done during the winter months to control plant diseases, says Dr. Luther Shaw, Extension plant pathologist o! State College. This is particularly true of fruit trees which are normally pruned during the winter period, he stated. /1 v> ,4 The winter carry-over of many diseases of apples, including scab,' bitter rot, blotch, and fire blight can j be greatly reduced by systematic J pruning of the trees, using the latest j improved methods and taking special I precautions to prune out as much' dead wood as possible, Dr. Shaw continued. - t An apple tree pruned so as to per- J mit good light and ventilation is ren- ; dered less vulnerable to attack by i disease-producing organisms, and can j be more thoroughly sprayed an'd con- t sequently better protected from the j organisms than a tree with thick; growth. - Destruction i' of diseased \ leaves and fruit on the ground by dis- J cing, plowing, or other means, is also : highly desirable, i .. j' ! The plant pathologist pointed out: that same practices are equally ef- j fective when applied to peaches, : pears, grapes, and small fruits such as raspberries, blackberries, and dewberries. It is especially important to destroy the dried or mummified peaches which were infected wtih brown rot the previous season and left hanging on the tree or on the ground under, / % i Make Ymir * . f ' " . as Shopping nd a wide range of 5, and automatically co crisp Vegetables. ir, 24 lb. bag ke Flour, per pkg. 1-2 oz. pkg. lless Raisins 15 oz lb. ?' v s, per lb. ! 3 lbs. for ipefruit Juice, No. t t California dried, California dried, | ifornia dried, per j sen Asparagus, No. ?^ crinarp 4 cl^U5 X 0^uui ^ <. ish, 2 lbs anberry Sauce, Nc Meat, 1 lb. can 2 1-2 size can -lums, No. 21-2 si :t Pears, No. 2 1-2 s ing Peaches, No. 2 eet Peas, per can, veet Peas, 2 cans f( \ / 1 . 9 nor pan.
