BLIGHT


ceedingly damaging to pears; in some
sections of the country destroying
the pear industry, and is therefore
commonly called pear blight 1t has
certain manifestations which in the
growing season causes the leaves ITO
turn to light brown color, and to
present the appearance of being
scorched by fire. For that reason it
has been called fire blight. Its
scientific name is bacillus amy
lovorus; but the word bacillus may
not convey to all the idea of the class
to which it belongs, for that means
that it is genus of bacteria.
- Considerable controversy has waged
around the question as to whether 1T
is bacterium or constitutional or
physiological disease. Scholars and
experts have worked, experimental
and discussed the question for several
years, and have pronounced 1T
bacterial disease; that it is COM
municated from one tree to another
by birds, bees, insects and other
agencies and that wherever the ooze
or exudate from the sap, containing
the germ bacillus amylovorus is COM
municated to healthy tree that tree
will become infected.
Remedies
There seems to be no remedy except
to cut it out and burn it. Many rem
edies have been proposed, and many
have been tried, but at the present
time nothing has been discovered
that can be placed before the public
as trustworthy, although number
of intelligent and conscientious men
are experimenting with certain prep
arations to be injected into the sap
of the tree. These preparations are
supposed to become absorbed and
mixed with the sap and either Kill
the germ or render the tree immune
from the disease. We shall be exceed
ingly glad if these men succeed, but
until their preparations are proven
affective. it is unwise to trust them.
The disease attacks apples, ounces,
hawthorns and services as we'll as
pears In fact we have seen 1t on
NUNS. VALENTINES and apricots; but
this group is not sufficiently susceptl-
BILE to be in any particular danger.
The main difficulty is with pears and
through them it is communicated to
the apples. some varieties being very
susceptible to it's ravages. Cut 1t out
and burn it.
Blight Resisting Varieties of Apples
Word comes to us from Rogue
River, Oregon, where they have had
so much trouble with blight, and
thought SO good fight" that they
have discovered method OF develop
ing "blight resistant varieties. y The
nurserymen of that section are con-
WINGED and are advertising and prop
apating varieties that they say are
immune to that disease. They say
that the Yellow Newtown, White Win
ter Carmain and Winter Banana varl-
cites are blight resistant. They say
that if we graft upon the root or one
of the resistant varieties the whole
tree is resistant Further, that to

is not a vigorous grower, and the
Winter Banana is, or is said to be, a
vigorous grower, it would seem wise
in making experiments to use the
latter.

BIRDS USEFUL TO FARM AND
ORCHARD

Entomologists estimate that insects
yearly cause loss of over 800, 900, 600
to the agriculture of the United
States. We're it not for our birds
the loss would be very much greater
and it is doubtful ii agriculture
would be possible. A knowledge of
the birds that protect the crops is
therefore as important as knowl-
edge of the pests that destroy them.
Such knowledge is the more import
ant because some birds are injurious,
some are partly useful and partly in
furious and others, a few, are always
useful. For instance, there are in
sects that are parasitic and predatory,
feeding upon other insects that in
jure the crops; but insectiverous
birds, destroy the useful and harmful
alike. However, the good they do by
the destruction of harmful insects,
is far greater than the harm they do
by the destruction of useful kinds.
Even the birds called noxious, pos
sess some redeeming qualities. The
crow, for instance, is mischievous in
spring, pulling up the newly planted
corn, and destroying the eggs Of USE
full birds. But on the other hand it
eats insects, grubs, cutworm, mead
ow mice, gophers and other rodents,
hot fnI
full.
Because their powers of flight en-
able them to gather rapidly at points
where there are abnormal outbreaks
of insects, birds are especially useful
in protecting certain localities from
scourges Of grasshoppers and other
pests; for an unusual number Of in
scots in any particular locality at
tracts the birds and they never leave
until the insects are under control.
America is greatly favored in the
number and character of it's birds,
which not only include some Of the
gems of the bird world, as warblers
and humming birds, but on the whole
embrace but few destructive species.
During the last % years our biological
survey has examined 80, 600 birds.
Among their discoveries are the fol-
lowing:
A tree swallows stomach was found
to contain 40 entire chinch bugs,
fragments of many others. besides 10
other species Of insects. A bank
swallow in Texas devoured GO cotton
boil weevils- Thirty-tive cliff swal-
lows had taken an average of Is boil
weevils each. The stomaches of pine
siskins from Hayward, California,
contained 1000 black olive scales and
300 plant lice. A killdeer's stomach

To Grind wild Rice For Food.

F. L. Vance, "the wild rice king" Of
the Popple river country, of Michigan,
has commenced the manufacture of
rice flour from the products of the
shallow lakes of northern Minnesota.
Before being ground the rice must
go through roasting or drying pro-
cess and this is done near where the
grain is harvested. A machine devils
ed and built for this purpose by Mr..
Vance is capable. Of roasting 1900
pounds in six minutes. AS far as
known this is the first time an at
tempt has been made to manufacture
flour from wild rice. The raw ma.
terial is plentiful and practically the
only cost will be the gathering and
grinding, no seeding or soil prepara.
