The Blisht on the Pear Trees.

Mcintosh Ga, April l2.-The belief is
gaining ground that the blight in the
LeConte pear has been brought on by the
unfavorable winter, extreme heat and
cold, as blight mas appeared on other
growth, the trees in the forest and roses
in the gardens, etc. 1t is believed by
some that the knife is the only remedy
as the decay is extending from the twig
into the limbs, and where the knife has
been applied early, this decay has been
arrested. The freeze has been more
fatal than was expected at first, both
upon the corn crops as well as fruit. Our
farmers have been disappointed in that
they have to plant over, as the corn has
failed to shoot again.
