FIRE BLIGHT AND HOW
IT ATTACKS FRUIT TREES
J. G. Hall, Plant PathOIOgist, Tells How
to Combat this Dreaded Disease
Everyone Should Help

Appearance - Twigs and blossoms
willing and turning brown on apple
and black on pear. Leaves, persistent,
curled, becoming brown on apple and
black on pear, as if scorched by fire.
In cankers, bark dark colored, sunken
and marked off by definite assure.
Treatment-Cut out and burn i'm
mediately all affected parts. Cut well
below any external appearance OF the
disease. After each cut disinfect both
knife and wound with corrosive subli-
mate "a deadly poison) part to 1000
parts of water. Keep corrosive subli-
mate in a wooden or glass vessel.
Blight cannot be cured by spraying
or injecting material into the tree.
Blight can be stamped out, but only
by surgery. Blight is our NOSE dan
gerous fruit disease. Every citizen
should aid in combating blight. j.

The state OF Washington in time will

Mr.. Skaggs points out that the origi-

state was 3,035,025 acres Of which
2,50o,000 acres has been retained.

Bees Sting Horse to Death

A rather strange and unusual occur
ance transpired on the Stiles farm near
Arlington, Wash, last week when a
valuable draft horse, valued at 5000,
was killed by honey bees. The ami
NAL was grazing in the orchard and
overturned a couple Of bee hives, when
the Infatuated insects swarmed out and
attacked the horse so viciously that he
died in short time. The bees cen
tered their attack about the nostrils,
eyes and ears, and in short time the
animals head swelled out of all pro-
portions. Mr.. Stiles, who was some
distasce away when the bees were dis
turbed, finally drove them off, but too
late to save the horse, which, appar-
emily, died in great agony.

Steel mail cars Of the latest type APP

The cars are electric lighted by dyna-

ANOTHER APPLE TREE DISEASE
IS WORSE THAN FIRE BLIGHT
AgriCuIturistS and State Experts are at
Loss to Find Cause or Rem
edy-AffeCted Trees Die

There's a worse disease in the ap-
pie orchards in this part of the state
than the fire blight" said George
Kingston in Spokane recently. AT
least I consider it so.
The experts have been unable to
determine what it is. There appears
to be absolutely no remedy for it. A
tree attacked is doomed and as soon as
you see that it is affected you might
as we'll pull it up.
The orchards around here are very
badly affected. The tree starts to
leave out in the spring, the leaves
grow to about half an inch in length,
and there they stop. They remain in
that condition through the season.
No fruit is developed on the limbs and
the next year the tree doesn't leave
out at all.
County Agriculturist Shinn has
been unable to diagnose the disease
nor have the Pullman College experts
been able to account for it. +"
Mr.. Kingston predicts that unless
attention is given the matter, the trees
cleaned out of orchards affected, and
unless some remedy is found for it, it
will come pretty near destroying every
orchard in the country where the dis
ease exists.

display at the Panama-Pacifc exposi-

the fourth large Panama-Pacifc exhibit,
which the department of agriculture
has secured from the fair commission
to be shown at North Yakima.

The state tax commission has COM
pleted the draft of the proposed con-
stitutional amendment which the next
Legislature will be asked to submit to
the people, to allow amendment Of the
states present admittedly archaic tax
laws. The chief feature OF the pro-
posed amendment is Section Q, which
provides hat taxes shall be equal on
all property of the same class, sub
stitution for the present provision that
taxes on all property shall be uniform
and equal" The proposed amend
ment would allow segregation Of
sources of revenue, so that the state
could derive its income solely from
railroads and other public service cor
porations, leaving all other property to
be taxed solely by the political subdi-
visions of the state. This would elm
mate the present annual process OF at
tempting to distribute fairly the state
taxes between the different counties.
The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1914-07-10

the amounts received from rentals,
amount to nearly million dollars per
year. A conservative estimate based
upon past experience in handling our
property, places the probable value OF
the present lands together with the
amounts already in the permanent funds
at $o2, 100000.
with $o2, 100000 in our perma-
nent school fund, we can readily see
that the reduction in taxation will be a
very considerable sum. This perma-
nent fund will produce yearly income
Of $4,151, $50, which will be used to
defray the current expenses of the
various institutions for which they were
set apart. Were this fund available
now, all the states part Of the entire
expense of education could be paid out
of the income. I do not mean to infer
that this fund will ever be adequate to
take care OF all the expenses of the
various educational institutions in the
state, for we all understand that these
expenses must increase as population
increases.
Time for filing initiative petitions
ended last week. The prohibition bill
and the eight hour bill admittedly have
enough signatures to insure them places
on the ballot. Petitions bearing about
$4,000 signatures each were filed for
the seven sisters" measures and until
the final count is completed it will be
impossible to determine whether these
bills will have the 1886 certified sig
natures required.
Governor Lister and his administra-
ton have avoided taking any stand that
might appear as an attempt to interfere
in any way with securing signatures for
these measures or urging such sigma

Amendments to the state horticul-
tural laws, designed to give the state
greater power in dealing with serious
epidemics such as the present fire
blight situation, are being prepared at
the direction of T. o. Morrison, in
charge Of horticulture, for recommen-
dation to the next legislature. One
OF the proposed amendments would de-
clare maintenance OF disease infected
orchard public nuisance, giving state
inspectors full authority TO disinfect OF
destroy trees, at the expense of the
owner, if the latter failed to do so after
notice. The difficulty of compelling
cleaning of orchards of nonresident
owners has been one of the greatest
difficulties met thus far in the states
anti-blight campaign.
A smaller percentage of state liquor
licenses became delinquent July / this
year than ever before, due, it is be-
lieved. to the prosecutions instituted
against delinquents last year by the
state sax commission and the disincli.
nation of the liquor men to stand pros.
ecution during the prohibition cam

lures. When it is finally determined,
however, whether these measures will
go before the people, it is expected
that the governor will announce the
attitude oil the administration, if the
measures are to be voted upon, or will
propose, in several instances, substitute
measures carefully drafted, if the
seven sisters" prove to have insult
fcient signatures to find places on the
ballot.
