 George V. Smith found we'll de- fined and developed specimen of the chestnut blight in his Greencrest wood- land few days since, and trimming out the tree, cut it and carried a speci- men to the grange Friday evening, where it suggested much interesting talk. So far scientific men have been unable to detect a remedy for the blight that is receiving national att tention, and so far the investigations of the disease has not resulted in any practical plan for eradicating it.. Charles Amidon says he is finding affected trees continually. As to the means by which the blight spreads 1 there are many opinions, some think ing the parasite is carried by wood. peckers and other birds and squirrels, and others that the spores are so very light they may be carried long dis tances by light winds. It is a matter of grave importance and most desira' ble that some method may be dis covered for eradioating the disease. (From another correspondence)
