Regarding pear biignt, Special Exam
iuer lsaacs, OF California Siato u Jard
of HORTICULTURE, who recently male a
tour of the pear.growibg disiricts OF
central CALIFORNIA;. says in an interview
in the Fresno Republican. regarding his
observations:
In Kines country and Tuiare, whence
| have just come. all the orchards seen
to be utfscted, In Tulare county fully
30 per cent. Of the trees have been al
taclied and many of the Trees are dying,
while in Kings. the condition OF affairs
is even worse There the spread of the
blight is even greater and the number
OF trees that are dead ia vastly larger.
From wat have seen here II Is not so
bad in Fresno county.
"rhe sou,hern part OF the stste does
not feel the iutiuence OF the blight TO
the extent that tho north does, for the
reason that the pear orchards there are
considerably fewer. Prof. Piercs OF
Santa Ana has been working Tor some
time on an investigation OF the Glseaso
and hus succeeded in making cultures
of tho bacteria that are the cause, but
L am not able 10 tell you just what sps-
cies OF bacteria they are. That the
blight is q bacterial disonse IS an accept
ed fact however"

Il do not think there is any doubt of
it," he said. I'm going from blossom
TO blossom they are largely insirumentai
in spreading the Spores but they are
not alone to be blamed, as the disease
may be spread py any other insect 10
the same way. That this is the msthod
in which the blight is disseminated is
demonstrated bv the fact that it starts
ia so per cent of the case from the bios
som. Sometimes, but not any where
nearly so frequently, it starts from the
young wood. The more thrifty the tree
the worse ths effect OF the blight. as i.
affects the new wood. Tho twigs look

and is markedly worse during the grow
ing period than it is later. Growers,
when the disease attacks an orchard.
know that they are going TO lose the
fruit anyway, and perhaps the whole
tree.

tiooabr whether cutting back will save
