THE CAUSE AND PREVENTION OF
PEAR BLIGHT.

Pear blight may be defined as
contagious bacterial disease OF the
pear and allied fruit trees. 1t attacks
and rapidly kills the blossoms, young
fruits and new twig growth, and runs
down In the living bark to the larger
limbs, and thence to the trunk. While
the bacteria themselves rarely kills
the leaves, at most only occasionally
attacking the stems and midribs OF
the youngest ones, all Of the foliage
on the blighted branches must, of
course, eventually die. The leaves
usually succumb in from one to two
weeks after the branch on which they
grow is killed, but remain attached,
and are the most striking and pro-
minent feature of the disease. The
most important parts Of the tree kill
ed by the blight are the inner bark
and the cambium layer Of the limbs
and trunk. OF course, when the bark
of limb is killed, the whole limb
is simply girdled by the disease, 1t
may send out leaves again the next
season and then die. All parts Of the
tree below the point reached by the
blight are healthy, no more injury
resulting to the unaffected parts Of
the tree than If the blighted parts
had been killed by fire girdling.
Blight varies greatly in severity
and in the manner in which 1t attacks
the tree. Sometimes 1t attacks only
the blossoms clusters or perhaps ON
ly the young tips Of the growing
twigs; and again it extends down on
ly few inches from the point Of at
tack. The sudden collapse Of the fol-
iage on blighted branches has led
many to believe that the disease pro-
crosses more rapidly than It really
does. It rarely extends further than
two or three inches from the point
Of attack IN one day, but OCCASION
ally reaches as much as one foot.
It is an easy matter to determine
when the disease has expended itself
on any limb or tree. When It is still
the discolored, blighted
portion blends off gradually into the
normal bark, but when 1t has stop
ped there is sharp line Of demarcat-
ion between the diseased and healthy
portions. "a

close proximity to Pen-Mar Park and the

DECLINE IN TUBERCULOSIS.

In the decade from 1901 to 1910,
the death rate from tuberculosis in
the United States declined from 1863
for each 100000 persons living to
1903, a decrease of 1877 per cent,
while the general death rate, inclu'l-
ing all causes of death, declined only
one half as fast, or at the rate OF 8. Z
per cent, from 1850 to 1883.
These figures were given out in a
statement issued by the National AS
ISOLATION for the Study and Proven
ton of Tuberculosis. They are based
ON data distracted from the reports
of the United States Bureau OF the
Census, and cover the registration
area i'm this country. According to
the statement, the tuberculosis death
rate has declined steadily siDce 1904,
when it was POI 6. On the other
hand, the general death rate shows Il
tluctuation downward in genera trend
but not as steady as the tuberculosis
rate. The decline in the tuberculosis
death rate in the last ten years means
a saving of q, 900 lives at the pres
ent time.
In certain cities, such as New York
Boston, Cleveland and Chicago, and
in States like Massachusetts, Rhode
Island and Connecticut, the decline
in the death rate is much more mark
ed than in the country at large.
The National Association says that
there are many factors working to-
gethcr to cause the decline in the tu-
bcrculosis death rate, such factors as
the change in the character of our ur-
ban population, increased sanitation,
and better housing, but probably as
potent factor as any has been the
nation wide anti-tubcrculosis cam
paign. 1T may be forctold with
considerable certainty" the state
ment concludes, THAT when the ef-
frcts of the present rapidly increasing
provision for the care of tuberculosis
patients shall have become evident,
the decline in the death rate from
consumption in the coming decade
will he even more marked than that
in the last one. :"
