THE pear growers in the lower South
crn States are experiencing now lively
trouble with tho blight on their trees,
and there appears to be no remedy for
the disease after 1t gets a firm hold. The
editor of Meeham's Monthly, says, the only
sure way is to cut off the parts attacked,
if discovered in time, aud healthy new
branches will sprout out. Often a tree
is never attacked but once, and if the af-
fected parts are Thus severed and burned
there is Il chance of saving the trees.
