recent years brown rot has too frequently been the something added when a buyer has taken home a basket of peaches it may be wondered why some baskets have been much worse than others or why even green peaches some times rot before they ripen an explanation is given by r s willi- son dominion laboratory of plant pathology st catharines brown rot which is a fungus disease of all stone fruits usually gets its start in the spring from mushroomlike growths arising from bits of rotten fruit which have spent the winter partly buried in the ground dust like spores from these growths attack some of the blossoms especially if blossomtime is wet in turn the blighted blossoms become sources of infection lying in wait for the fruits which become subject to rot wtien they ripen the brown rot fungus can grow rapidly and is very prolific of spores or seeds which spread the disease for this reason it frequently happens that fruit which is perfectly sound when packed rots badly in the two or three days required for its transportation and sale outbreaks of brown rot commonly cur when the weather during harvest is warm and damp obviously the amount of rot can be reduced to a minimum if the sources of infection are cleaned up and if the blossoms and fruits are protected by a coating of an anti septic as sulphur is used for this purpose sprayed peaches are not poisonous to human beings the consumer would be welladvised then to remand peaches from properly sprayed orchards it is also well to bear in mind that peaches are a highly perish able product and that the best of them will not keep in the fresh state for more than a week or ten days in seasons when brown rot is prevalent or likely to be it is a good practice to remove the peaches from the basket and to spread them out on a flat surface in a cool dry place it is pointed out that refrigeration will delay the onset of rot but will not pre vent the enlargement of a rotten spot which has already developed the canadianunited states boundary line is 3936 miles long and the canadaalaska j boundary is 1539 miles long 90th birthday for pickering native when mrs e r rogers celebrat ed her ninetieth birthday at the home of her
