CalOmel For Pear Blight.

DR.. w. II. Dial, of this city, made
an experiment about ten years ago that
is worthy of notice by fruit growers.
The matter was brought to mind last
Wednesday by the discussion at the
Farmers Institute of blight on pear
and apple trees. DR.. Dial had in his
yard fine Lecontc pear tree affected
seriously with blight which he had al
most given up as lost. However, he
tried this method of destroying the
blight: About foot from the ground
was cut cross slit in the bark, which
was folded back, about 20 grains of
calomel put in the cut and the bark re-
placed. Today the pear tree is one of
the finest and most prolific to be found
anywhere, DR.. Dial had three of the
pears from this tree on exhibition at
the Peoples Loan and Exchange Bank
Thursday.
Every farmer in Laurens county
should have heard the speakers at the
Institute Wednesday. The lectures
were instructive.
When another man knows something
we do not know it bchoovcs us to hear
it and take account thereof.
