The Indian Forester December 1919

1919

The characteristics of the spike disease of the sandalwood in Mysore have been the subject of numerous contributions to the pages of the Indian Forester. [...] Sections of spiked twigs and branches show an enormous accumulation of starch in the pith in the medullary rays in the wood and bast parenchyma and there is a sharp line of demacation as regards starch deposition at the junction of the stock and scion While starch is abundant in the phkem and xylem of the scion (peach) there is practically ncne to be found in the stock (almond). [...] The most obvious explanation of these differences is that the leaves of spiked plants are unable to obtain from the soil a sufficient amount of crude sap and are also suffering from an undue accumulation of reserve carbohydrate."t9191 THE SPIKE DISEASE OF PEACH TREES 645 The results suggest that the cause of the spiked condition is to be found in the junction between the stock and scion. [...] As a result the junction is interrupted the translocation of elaborated food material from the leaves to the roots by way of the phkem is greatly restricted starch is in consequence deposited in the leaves and twigs while the root system is starved. [...] Serzoyer.—It may be remarked at the outset that the efficiency of the mill depends on the " sawyer." He it is who estimates the timber in the log as it goes on to the carrier ; who gives his orders by sign to the " Setter " for the cuts to be taken ; who operates the carrier lever and the nigger.
