BLIGHT ON FRUIT-TREEs.
Commissioner Whitehead Gets Adj
vice from Washington.

The Commissioner OF Agriculture, Colo
mel Thomas whitehead. recently received
letter from Mr.. John Otey. Of Binns
Hall. Charles City county, Va, enclosing
specimens OF his pear and apple-trees
which had been attacked and seriously
damaged by blight. Mr.. Otey requested
that the nature Of the blight be examined
into and that preventive and remedial
measures be suggested.
The letter was referred TO the United
States Department OF Agriculture, and
the following has been received in reply:
81. S. Department Of Agriculture.
division of Vegetable Pathology,
Washington. d. c., May 20. 1895.
"Mr Thomas Whitehead, Commissioner OF
Agriculture. Richmond, Va:
Dear Sir.-Mr. J.. c. Howard has re.
ferred to me your letter OF May 18th, TO
gether with that OF the gentleman from
Binns Hall, and specimens Of his pear
and apple-trees. We have examined the
twgs and find that the trees are affected
with pear blight. This disease is caused
by very minute mcrobc, which enters
the tree at the blossom cluster, or al the
tip Of the tender-growing shoot. The dis
ease may destroy only the blossom clus-
ter or a few inches Of the twig, or II may
run downward several feet. killing large
limbs or even the whole tree. The same
microbe causes pear blight. apple-tWig
blight, and ounce blight. Most OF the
damage from this blight is done during
the first month Of growth from blossom
time on. Apple-twIg blight however, is
often bad in July. The disease. after run
ming downward for a few inches or a foot,
usually comes TO standstill When the
disease has stopped definite crack forms
a 10
portions. When the diseased part blends
off into live wood II shows that the dis
ease is still progressing. Below the
blighted portion the tree may be perfectly
healthy. The blight kills Only as far as II
reaches. the part below 1t being sound.
Healthy, thrifty. rapidly-growing trees
suffer more when attacked than those not
so vigorous.
"In certain cases the blight does not
stop but keeps on slowly growing in the
bark till the season closes. Such cases
continue slowly during the winter, and Ia
this manner the blight microbs lives over
winter. The new blight for each year
comes from germs which live over from
the preceding years cases.
"The remedy for pear blight Is to ex.
terminate the microbe which causes the
trouble. This can be done by pruning out
the old blight in the fall or winter, ana
thus prevent the microbes from living
over. In mild attacks, where there Is
but little blight. and wherever IT is prac-
ticable, It is best to cut out the blight as
soon as 1t is discovered, Complete de-
struction OF the blight should be carried
out in the fall as soon as all late growth
has ceased. In cutting out the blight
care should be taken not TO cut on the
sound wood below the disease.

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
NEW YORK, May 22.-The stock mar
ket to-day was unsettled, and rather
weak Except in the cases Of Distillers'
and Sugar however. the pressure 20 sell
was not marked. London evidently seems
much concerned in the outcome OF the
Kafiir settlement, and paid but little at
tention to American securities. save, per-
haps 10 sell st. Paul. Louisville and
Nashville, and certain OF the lowpriced
issues TO a moderate extent. The opera
tors were generally bearish in their
views because OF the sharp rise In wheat.
and the sensational reports from the
West regarding the crop outlook These
stories were not confirmed by railroad
officials here, but the fact that July wheat
touched soc. in this market seemed TO
be confederation enough for the bears
in stocks. who displayed more courage
and activity than for months past.
Sugar and Distillers, and. in the late
trading, the Changers, were the special
points OF attack. Distillers Tas pressed
for sale throughout, and important long
interests liquidated. The transactions
were $500 shares, and the stock ranged
between Il 5-S and p 3-sc, closing at
q S-ic.-a net loss for the day Of 3-s per
cent. Sugar first rose 81, to ll9 SIS, but
the advance brought liberal offerings for
bOth accounts, and a decline TO III Ia
followed. Just at the close a drive was
made against the Changers. and ST. Paul
fell to 66, Rock Island 20 IS Us. Bur

sUP'T ADAMs's SUCCESSOR.
Many Names Mentioned for the
PIace-ReductIon of the salary.


There Is great deal of speculation
throughout the city as to who will sue
coed the late William c. Adams as Super
intendent OF the City Gas-Works. The
names of several well-known gentlemen
are being mentioned in connection with
the vacancy. Among these are Messrs
William 5. Gum, former chairman OK the
Committee on Light; John r. Grimes.
present chairman Of that body; John f.
Epps. Il. NJ. Noble. John NJ. Higgins
Thomas J. Walsh, present foreman Of the
Lower gas-works; William =. Knowles.
City Gas Inspector; Alexander Delany,
and Reubin Shirriffs.
II is not known whether the Common
Council will concur in the action OF the
Board Of Aldermen in cutting down the
salary OF the superintendent from $500
to $780, but President Turpin's amend
ment bringing about this change appears
to meet with the approval OF the con-
servative-thinking people. 1t is not
thought that new man will be worth
as much TO the city as Mr. Adams, who
had spent his whole life in the gas
works. made himself.
A joint session OF the Council for the
election of a superintendent of the gas
works will probably be held about the
middle Of June. and 1t is likely that the
selection of clerk TO Council COM
mittees will take place at the same time

THE WHOLESALE GRoCERs.

sion about three days In the large hall
OF the Aragon Hotel. where the visitors
will be entertained during their visit. The
object OF the session IS the consideration
OF matters affecting the whclesale-grocery
trade, which have arisen during the past
twelve months. and the adoption OF such
plans aud methods as will induce the
largest cooperation on the part OF the
trade TO attain better results In the busi-
ness.
II Is authorltatively stated that no ac.
ton will be taken with a view OF form
ing combination for fixed prices, but
the object OF the meeting rs simply to
secure intelligent and concerted action
which Will do away with Vicious and un-
necessary competition, substituting there
for busness-like methods that viii secure
fair return for the labor, risk, and
investment OF the Wholesale grocers. An
interesting report viii be read by the sec
Rotary. reviewing the work accomplished
during the past year by the association.
LARGELY SOCIAL
These annual gatherings OF the trade
are. OF course. largely social IN their
and II has been found in past
years that they have exerted a powerful
influence for good. Men are brought to-

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

The play "Tulu' will be repeated at the
Unitarian social next Tuesday night.
Well may the citizens of West Brattle-
boro rejoice. The Senior dramatic club
will visit that place soon.
Miss Kingsley's sister came up Saturday
evening and spent Sunday and Monday
with her. She saw the entertainment at
the Retreat.
The committee, anticipating the success
Of the Senior Dramatic club, had two set
tees moved, which were at the back Of the
room. These give place for long table
which will be placed there. The reference
desks have been nicely covered, and with
the shelves filled with books will present a
fine appearance.
Congratulations and thanks are now in
order. Congratulations TO the senior class,
who through their own small efforts and
the great efforts of the teachers, Misses
Kingsley, Gowing and Pray, brought forth
so successful an entertainment. Fifty
dollars was cleared which will be used TO
buy books. The senior class wishes to
thank the public for its aid in attendance
at the entertainment. 1t also wishes TO
