It appears to be widely distri- buted in New York. Our own plantations, particularly the Shaf- fer, are becoming badly diseased. In one of the large rasp- berry plantations in Orleans Co., run in connection with an evaporating estab- lishment, the disease occasioned a serious loss. In the treatment of this disease it is very important that the plants be kept in a thrifty condition. Our bushes have suf- fered less than others we have seen in market patches which were less severely attacked, simply for the reason that they are robust. It is not necessary to practice laborious culture. We treat our plan- tations cheaply by cultivating them lightly once or twice a week until the berries begin to ripen, and again after the berries are off until well into August. Light and frequent cultivations in loose and well-tilled soil are much less expensive than half the amount of tillage upon neglected or poorly treated soil, and their effect upon the plants is greater. There have been no systematic experiments published, so far as I am aware, upon the treatment of raspberry anthracnose with.
