Too close planting does not allow sufficient sunlight iu to mature , the fruit, and too close planting also causes fungus growth. .1?ruit grow- ers have not been so successful in destroying the disease called black knot in plums as destroying apple scab. The cause of black knot is a fungus growth which gets into the trees and the spores are allowed to ripen and scatter and thus propagate the disease. The best thing to do for it is to look for it and cut it out before it gets to full size. It will be noticed first as a small swelling on the tree, and as soon as you are sure it is black knot, cut it out and burn it. They are not black at first. If the limb is a small one, or the tree will not be injured by.it, it is best to cut the limb out. There are two sot of• spores or seeds sent out each year by the black knot, the early ones ripen on motion.
