FIRE BLIGHT OF APPLE TREE
Disease Is Caused by Baeterium and
10 Very Contagious-But One
Method Of Eradication.
(By e. c. STACKMAN. Assistant Plant
Pathologist. University Farm. ST.

(By e. C. sTACKMAN. Assistant Plant
Pathologist. University Farm. st.
Paul. Mimi
There Is a great deal Of twig and
branch blight of apple trees this year,
indicated by the browning Of leaves
and blackening Of twigs. Not only the
smaller branches are affected, but also
large limbs, and, in some cases, even
the trunks.
The disease Is caused by a bacte-
rum, and is very contagious Usually
the microbe Is carried by insects to
the flowers, where 1t multiplies rapid
ly, and the blossom Is blackened and
killed, or 1t may extend along under
the bark, killing the twig and often
extending to the branches also takes
place through tender shoots. For this
reason, in orchards where the disease
has gained foothold, nothing should
be done to encourage rapid growth.
The germs sometimes live through
winter in holdover cankers and are
the source of new infection.
There is but one method of eradi.
eating the blight from an orchard, that
is, cut 1t out, preferably in late sum-
mer or fall. The branches should al
ways be cut some distance back from
the diseased parts, and after each limb
is cut the pruning knife should be dis
infected by dipping into solution OF
corrosive sublimate in the proportion
of one part Of the poison to one thou
sand parts of water.

LADYBUGS TO DESTROY APHIS

CBy MRS A. JOSEPH. California;
The capturing of ladybugs to kill
aphis, Is a very interesting industry.
in this state, During the early win
ter months, the miners are always on
the lookout for the ladybugs, and they.
In turn, notify the State Entomolog-
list, and he has them gathered and
sent to the state insectory.
The bugs are gathered up while
they are OF guard. and thrown into
gunny-sacks. Then, they are trans
ported by pack-train, over the snow,
to the station, from which place, theY
are forwarded by train.
Humbug Canyon is a favorite place
for the ladybugs. When the canyon
fills up with snow, in the winter, and
there is no more food, they foregath-
er in the higher places, where there
are great punches Of moss. The
warmth Of their bodies is conserved,
in this way. The little fellows on the
outside worm their way inward, and
when they get warm, crawl out again,
for a breath of fresh air.
In this way, they spend the winter
season. Like others, of their kind, the
ladybugs sleep through the winter.
Then the warmth of spring helps
them to shake off the spell, and they
are ready for work.
In the insectory, an artificial winter
is made, with ice, and, by turning on
the cold. 1t suspends animation in her

food; some having been kept, In cold
