PLANT DISEASE I✓ INVESTIGATIONS
,� �
The plant disease investigation
conducted by th c.Dominir'n P'';
Pathology Laboratories 1n British
Columbia have focused l upo Vie
normal plant and its environment.
nt.
The relation of soil mei-alias tc
drought spot, corky core and other
apple tissue diseases ases ,ins been clean'.
ly demonstrated by Mr. alcLitrty in
the Okanagan. The apple c,ToWci3
are now hopeful that 11• .1•n , of
soil and irrigation ineigesement war;
be envolved that will «sore•. • t the
soil conditions indirectly rea•,onsqd
for the • breakdjown in apples. 111:;
experiments have demonstrated tied'
an unfavourable environment ma!
not he expr'tssed immediately by 0;,,.
ease symptoms. After the opt. v..
vorable, soil moisture ronditicna
brought about root killing, no ere].
ence was obtained of the wrill known
apple -tissue diseases until thefollow-
ing season.
These ,experiments illustrate that
a !wealthy tree grow.; on a normal
soil, so we are attempting to learn
what a tree dislikes. The sensitive
parts of a tree's anatomy are tau
rale white feeding roots. They ex
press their dislike to soil econdit:on:
by turning brown. These roots for-
tunately speak before the real t'i
uble, the breakdown of apples oece.'
We appeal to the froit growers 'o
study their trees from the nureer'
to the full bearing stage, so tail
they will be able to detect the heel -
thy trees. Healthy trees grow only
upon normal soils, so attempt to
create a moisture supply under year
abnormal trees that is similar to that
beneath your normal trees. Your
soil is different from that of your
neighbor so your re.i;;hnoes practice
may not suit you. The 1ive_tack man
says that stunted calf is likely to be-
come. an unthrifty cow. Ina simi-
lar way, the stunted young tree le
likely to beeenie 0 diseased mature
tree.
Pathologists find that preventives
are usually leis costly than cures.
But a preventive fence has little e1' -
feet if the disease is inside, so we
are attempting to learn. the symptom.;
of health as well as disease. In po-
tatoes we find an almost infinite num-
ber of virus disease symptoms. An
explanation has been found for the'
existence of so many forms, for
potatoes may become infected .vitt
combinations of - distinct virus- IL -
eases. Furthermore, the symptoms
are different on every soil and unaar
every distinct climatic condition.
The farmer is wise who avoids the
confusion of symptom complexity by
s removing as "rogues" all plants that
t do not conform to a high standard of
health.
i A control measure bared into:'
knowledge of health has been ap-
plied recently to control a beret ills-
, I
ease.
li a -
ease. In the past, losses have been
very severe from a beet root -rot and t
wilt that attacks the young plants.
There are only slight differences be
tweet diseased and healthy plant;s„in
their very early stages, but the farm-
ers saved their Crops, who learned to
'?,.ter't healthy young plants at the
time when blocking and thinnheg
w ;Lae. e. When healthy plants only
lwr_71 .iiowed to remain, the losses
wore :mall. Time may not permit
}the farmer to study the symptoms
or disease, but if he chooses to in-
crease • his knowledge of heattit
symptoms, he may do a Int to rave
his crops from disastrous disesses.

In 1921 the Canadian Pacific paid
out $2,000,000 from freight revenue
in loss and damage 11ahns. In 1927
it paid. $700,000, a decrease of
$1,300,000, although in the sante
period the gross freight revenue had
increased by $15,000,000. Better
freight handling did it.
