Treatment for Blight.

The following on treatment for pear
blight is incorporated 10 the report of
the New Jersey State Horticultural So
riety:
First, aim to put the tree 10 condi-
ton to render it least liable to attack
This means To so manure and cultivate
that the tree will not grow rapidly
Thus the more a tree is fed the worse
il will fare when attacked by the blight
Trees that are highly fertilized with
heterogeneous manures are especially liza
bic to blight In short. overstimula-
ton with manures is to be avoided
Good tillage in the same way, while it
makes tree bear, also tends to increase
the susceptibility to blight Anything
that retar1s the growth is beneficial so
far as the disease is concerned. The
orchardist must stimulate by manures
and cultivate sufficiently to give a good
crop and shun that which will do more.
Soil and situation will determine largely
whether sod or cultivated may be best
10 resist the blight
The second method is the extermina.
ton Of the blight germs, which seems
to be the only direct remedy. This is
done by cutting out and burning all
blight portions Of the trees Every tree
o. the pome family, including the apple,
pear, ounce. mountain ash. service berry
aud hawthorn, should be treated 10
the same manner. Particular attention
should be paid to the active blight of
late autumn, cutting it out aud burning
the branches before spring arrives. 1t
is important to cut out the blight when
ever seen, but all should be removed
before the next growing season begins
To put the treatment in small CON-
pass, all blight should be removed as
soon as seen while the trees are grow
ing A thorough inspection needs to be
made in the late fall for any branches
showing blight After those are cut out
sharp outlook should be kept for the
disease in the orchard the next spring
10 connection with pruning aud burn .
ing, the trees should not be stimulated
hey ond what is required for IA fair
growth Of wood aud the production of
a profitable crop
