out of the owner to have his trees de-

the precautions that would have pre-
vented the loss. The man who Is sue

Method of Spread Of Disease

The fire blight germs are naturally
disseminated chiefly by insects at
blossoming time. AS noted above
active hold-over cankers exude a
sticky ooze, attractive to insects, in
which the bacteria are present in enor-
nous numbers, and any insects visit
ing such cankers may become covered
with the germs. If, after becoming
ii fected in this way, they visit the
blossoms for nectar, they inoculate the
flowers, whereupon the germs find an
easy access 20 the inner tissues of the
blossom through the hectares.
