Some time ago Mr. AT Alpine, Government pathologist, delivered a lecture before the Fruitgrowers' Institute ab Ardmona. He stated that there were three methods of treating diseases -.—Preventive, palliative, and curative. The firsb was to give proper drainage and cultivation, so that trees and vines could geb a due supply of suitable nourishment from the soil. The second (palliative) method was to try and mitigate the evil by destroying the spores of fungi before the buds burst. He then treated of the various fungoid diseases to which fruib trees are subject, including black spob, for which Bordeaux mixture is the remedy, describing its composition and how ib should be made and applied.
