A resume of the percentage OF aosentses
from the annual inspection and muster OF
the several national guard organizations
for the last five years indicates a gratify-

PEAR BLIGHT.

In portions Of California and Oregon
plant disease experts of the depart
ment of agriculture have for the past
two or three years been directing a
campaign for the stamping out Of the
pear blight, which in sections of the
former state has ruined tens of thou
sands Of bearing trees. A careful
study OF the pest coupled with numer-
GUS experiments has shown the only
effective method of combating the
blight to be the cutting out Of affected
shoots and limbs below the point OF
infection, the pruning instrument, saw
or shears, being sterilized after each
cutting by dipping in kerosene. An
other means serving to lessen the Sc
verify OF an attack OF blight has been
found to lie in the removal Of all fruit
spurs from the trunk and larger lower
limbs, as the spores Of the blight are
transmitted to such spurs by bees at
blossom time. Pear orchards in Sec
tons where the blight is prevalent
should be inspected frequently and no
time lost. in cutting out affected limbs
should the pest put in an appearance.
A delay OF a day has often meant the
loss Of many trees, as the blight works
with great rapidity. often passing from
twig to trunk In tho course Of few
Gours.
