Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Apple Rots in Illinois Fruit burn. As indicated by the name this is a scalding of apples due to the sun's heat. Ordinarily this trouble is confined to the fruit after it has fallen to the ground, though during the past unfavorable apple season there has been some complaint of the fruit burning on the trees; The apples as they lie on the ground begin to scorch on the south or sunny side and the brown discoloration gradually increases in size both by spreading over the surface and by extending inward, eventually forming a sort of baked apple. In its earlier stage diseased tissue taken from the interior of such apples for cultural examination gives no growth of bacteria or fungi, but in time, no doubt, these agents often aid in the destruction of the tissues. The trouble, apparently, is not a very serious one. Plate A, Fig. 1, shows an apple affected with fruit burn in its earlier stage.

Download or read book Spraying Apples for the Plum Curculio Classic Reprint written by S. A. Forbes and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-19 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Spraying Apples for the Plum-Curculio It has been known for more than a hundred years that t' apple was subject to injury by the plum-curculio, but as this injury has been commonly reckoned less important than that done by the codling - moth, the matter has received, of late, comparatively little attention until within the last six or seven years. Since the dis crimination of different market grades of apples has been generally introduced - a grading based not only upon size and soundness, but also upon superficial appearance - the slight surface injuries done by the new generation of the plum-curculio, both in laying the eggs and in feeding on the fruit, have acquired a great importance. The consequence of a noticeable injury of this sort, although affecting but little, and in many cases scarcely at all, the edible quality of the apple so injured, is to reduce its selling value from N o. I grade to N o. 2, the actual profits of the crop disappearing in this process. These facts having been repeatedly brought to my knowledge by Illinois horticulturists, I undertook to work out the causes of these surface blemishes in general, and to demonstrate more accurately than has hitherto been done means of preventing them by a de struction of the curculios themselves. Indeed, the importance of this investigation has grown upon me as it has become evident that these small superficial injuries very often give entrance through the skin of the apple to bacteria and to fungus spores of various kinds, causing rots and blights of the fruit which might be largely pre vented by a timely destruction of the insects.

Download or read book Chaos and Cosmos written by Heidi C. M. Scott and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2014-07-30 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Chaos and Cosmos, Heidi Scott integrates literary readings with contemporary ecological methods to investigate two essential and contrasting paradigms of nature that scientific ecology continues to debate: chaos and balance. Ecological literature of the Romantic and Victorian eras uses environmental chaos and the figure of the balanced microcosm as tropes essential to understanding natural patterns, and these eras were the first to reflect upon the ecological degradations of the Industrial Revolution. Chaos and Cosmos contends that the seed of imagination that would enable a scientist to study a lake as a microcosmic world at the formal, empirical level was sown by Romantic and Victorian poets who consciously drew a sphere around their perceptions in order to make sense of spots of time and place amid the globalizing modern world. This study’s interest goes beyond likening literary tropes to scientific aesthetics; it aims to theorize the interdisciplinary history of the concepts that underlie our scientific understanding of modern nature. Paradigmatic ecological ideas such as ecosystems, succession dynamics, punctuated equilibrium, and climate change are shown to have a literary foundation that preceded their status as theories in science. This book represents an elevation of the prospects of ecocriticism toward fully developed interdisciplinary potentials of literary ecology.

Download or read book A Report on Plant Diseases of the State Classic Reprint written by John L. Sheldon and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-20 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Report on Plant Diseases of the State Black Rot. This is another destructive disease, causing the fruit to rot and cankers on the branches. The young growth is some times killed, the twigs then resembling those attacked by the twig blight, for which it may be mistaken. The disease was found on apple leaves at Wellsburg. The black rot is similar to the bitter rot in general appearance, except that instead of the masses of pinkish spores that break through the Skin in the case of bitter rot, there are small black bodies imbedded under the skin in the case of'black rot. The shrunken and Shriveled apples often remain on the trees for a year or more. This disease has been Very destructive to quinces in several parts of the State. At a number of places where it was found on quinces, it was also found on apples near by. The same treatment is recommended as for bitter rot. It is possible that the black rot' might be controlled to some extent when it is found on quinces by picking the rotting fruit before the Spores have developed and become distributed. On apples this might not be feasible on account of the size of the trees. Canker. The cankers are the dead and shrunken areas occasionally found on the branches and trunk. They are due to a number of causes. (see under Bitter Rot and Black Rot.) One of the common ones found in old orchards is known as the Illinois Canker. It may be recognized by the black round bodies that push through the dead bark on the branches and trunk. These bodies are sometimes nearly one-fourth of an inch in diameter, and attached to the wood, so that when they are broken off, a black ring remains. Keeping the cankers and dead branches cut out should prove effective. Crown Gall. This has been reported as occurring on nursery stock shipped into the State. Several specimens of the disease have been received at the Experiment Station. It would be well to burn all infected stock, such as apple, pear, peach, cherry, raspberry and blackberry, that have hard, irregular, rough swellings on the crowns or roots, in order to prevent the introduction of the disease. The swellings or galls are sometimes covered with a large number of roots. A similar disease is produced by an insect called the woolly aphis.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A book that became an instant classic when it first appeared in 1995, Old Southern Apples is an indispensable reference for fruit lovers everywhere, especially those who live in the southern United States. Out of print for several years, this newly revised and expanded edition now features descriptions of some 1,800 apple varieties that either originated in the South or were widely grown there before 1928. Author Lee Calhoun was one of the foremost figures in apple conservation in America. This masterwork reflects his knowledge and personal experience over more than thirty years, as he sought out and grew hundreds of classic apples, including both legendary varieties (like Nickajack and Magnum Bonum) and little-known ones (like Buff and Cullasaga). Representing our common orchard heritage, many of these apples are today at risk of disappearing from our national table. Illustrated with more than 120 color images of classic apples from the National Agricultural Library’s collection of watercolor paintings, Old Southern Apples is a fascinating and beautiful reference and gift book. In addition to A-to-Z descriptions of apple varieties, both extant and extinct, Calhoun provides a brief history of apple culture in the South, and includes practical information on growing apples and on their traditional uses.

Download or read book The Beat Cop written by Michael O'Malley and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2022-05-18 with total page 359 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The remarkable story of how modern Irish music was shaped and spread through the brash efforts of a Chicago police chief. Irish music as we know it today was invented not just in the cobbled lanes of Dublin or the green fields of County Kerry, but also in the burgeoning metropolis of early-twentieth-century Chicago. The genre’s history combines a long folk tradition with the curatorial quirks of a single person: Francis O’Neill, a larger-than-life Chicago police chief and an Irish immigrant with a fervent interest in his home country’s music. Michael O’Malley’s The Beat Cop tells the story of this singular figure, from his birth in Ireland in 1865 to his rough-and-tumble early life in the United States. By 1901, O’Neill had worked his way up to become Chicago’s chief of police, where he developed new methods of tracking criminals and recording their identities. At the same time, he also obsessively tracked and recorded the music he heard from local Irish immigrants, enforcing a strict view of what he felt was and wasn’t authentic. Chief O’Neill’s police work and his musical work were flip sides of the same coin, and O’Malley delves deep into how this brash immigrant harnessed his connections and policing skills to become the foremost shaper of how Americans see, and hear, the music of Ireland.
