Report Presence
Of Anthracnose
In Apple Trees

Evidence that there are apple
trees in this district affected by
Anthracnose or Blackspot Canker,
as it is sometimes called, is report-
ed in a contribution to The News
“Farm Page” received from Sar-
dis Nurseries.

It is pointed out that Anthrac-
nose is not at all hard to recog-
nize and a careful examination of
diseased trees will show the typic-
al, irregular, oval-shaped, grey
brown spot or patch on the trunk
or branches of the younger trees
and on the smaller branches and
twiggs of the larger ones. At this
time of the year these spots have
the appearance of a depression in
the bark and have a ragged crack
around them.

The fruit from affected trees is
often spotted though this may not
appear till after storage when the
apples will not keep well. Fortun-
ately the control of Anthracnose
is not at all difficult and it can
be cleaned up with a little care.
A splendid circular called “An-
thracnose of Apples” may be had
from the Department of Agricul-
ture at Victoria or from G. E. W.
Clarke, District Horticulturist, Ab-
botsford. The disease is serious but
with a little effort it may be clean-
ed right out of the trees.

BARN IMPROVEMENTS
INCLUDE FOOTBATH
FOR DAIRY COWS

Norman Towe on the Wells Line
Road, Sumas Prairie, has greatly
improved his dairy barn of late
by installing concrete floor and
mangers throughout. When laying
the cement floor he showed fore-
thought by arranging to have a
depression made in the concrete
at the doorway which will be util-
ized as a compulsory footbath for
the cows as they enter the barn.
He plans to fill this with a disin-
fectant solution should the cows
show any signs of foot trouble.

B.C, VEGETABLE BOARD
MEMBERS ARE ELECTED

W. Bourque, secretary-treasurer,

ties. Gilmour, who headed the

Lelan, 145. Other votes were: S. H.
Ford, board member in 1940, 95;
S. J. Grey, 93; B. Grieves, 78, and
Cc. P. Winstral, 77.

WARTIME SPIRIT
ON THE FARM

Mrs, I. M. Keefer, Sumas Prairie,
has been without a hired man for
sometime. Undaunted she has un-
dertaken to milk the herd her-
self. This is no mean task, even
though Mrs. Keefer is younger in
spirit than in years. There are 28
cows to be milked morning and

evening with but two milking
machine units. And the garden is
not being overlooked between
times!
