AUTUMN WOR I,
AGAINST PESTS

blight may result in its death. Each,
infection is to be looked upon as al
definite. limited; diseased area. The
part attacked is usually destroyed,
though the disease may occur in the
outer fieshy bark of the limbs and
branches without always penetrat-
ing to the cambium. When, the cam
blum or vital layer between the
wood and bark is killed death Of
that particular area, OF course, re-
suits.
Secondary Control Measures.
For various reasons spraying has
not been practically successful in con.
trolling the disease. The eradica-
ton method, or actually cutting out
the diseased era, is the principal
way of controlling pear blight. Other
methods, such as Withholding stable
manure and nitrogenous fertilizers,
moderate cultivation or Withholding
It completely. seeding the orchard
down to grass or clover, or sowing
rank7growing cover crops after the
blight appears in the spring, such
as cowpeas and sorghum in the mid
die states, oats, millet, or similar
crops in the northern states, all help
in secondary way In reducing the
severity OF the blight In the irri-
gated orchards the use of. the mini
mum amount Of irrigation water is
also advisable.
Direct Eradication
The main method Of controlling
pear blight, however, consists in cut
ting out the diseased tissue wher-
ever found and disinfecting the
wound with the instruments to avoid
spreading the disease. In the great
majority Of cases fortunately the
blight comes to definite standstill
in the bark, after killing a certain
distance, and stops. The germs die
out, in the dead bark, crack or
crevice forms between the live and
the dead bark. and the case ends IT
self naturally and heals out. In many
many cases. however, the disease,
while dying out in the older parts,
keeps on spreading on the margin,
the germs renewing themselves by
multiplication and injecting new
areas of fresh bark. When they
manage to live through the dry, hot
summer weather and keep alive until
autumn, when the leaves drop from
the trees, they almost Invariably live
over winter, and though greatly
checked by the cold weather Of the
winter. are not killed or apparently
even injured ~ the cold. Such cases
become hold-over blight, and by this
means the supply of germs is kept
over in the orchard for the next sea-
son. The hold-over blight cases may
extend considerably and result in
further damage to the tree by the
extension of that particular area, but
their worst feature comes from the
fact that they supply the gummy exu-
date and the virus for new infec-
tons on the blossoms the following
spring. When warm weather comes
in the spring and root pressure fills
the tree with sap the 3hold-over cases
start off vigorously and exude the
gummy matter. especially in moist
weather, literally teeming with the.

SONS,
Cutting out pear blight, therefore,
has double purpose, first of stop
ping the blight and cleaning up the
treesand second OF preventing the
hold-over. Much good work on the
blight can be done in the summer
time, but the final clean up should
occur in the fall. Summer cutting,
blight shows plainly and continuing
until the fruit is about half grown,
is helpful. The best time to do 1t Is
in periods Of dry, sunny weather. On
young trees It is often very import
ant, particularly on young pear and
apple trees, to head OF the blight
by cutting well below 1t as soon as
1t shows up In the spring and sum-
mer.
Examine Bark Thoroughly
In all blight cutting, either sum.
mer or autumn, 1t is important to.
examine thoroughly by cutting OF
the bark around the lower edge of
the infection to determine the lower
point at which any change Of color,
even a water-soaked or Transparent
condition, can be detected with the
eye. Young or active blight ON the
lower margin is readily distinguish
ed by its moist, gummy or stick
character and either water-soakedi or
usually reddish discoloration Of the
bark. This is in rather marked con-
trast with the dry. dead bark where
the germs have died out. Having
found the lowest margin Of the dis
ease. IL it is, on limb the knife.
pruning shears, or saw is used, cut
ting well below the infection. II the
disease has stopped and the dead,
dry bark is sharply defined in con-
trast with the live portion, the cut
may be made quite close below the
margin. or 1t may be made where
any convenient branch emerges OF
where the limb leaves the main
branch or the trunk. II the freshly
blighted area is short and the blend
is rather abrupt between the dead
and live portion, the cut may also
be made rather close to the diseased
the branch. Six inches may be suf-
fcient in such cases, but the cut
should always be made on to sound
bark and wood. II the saw is used
it is always desirable afterward to
trim the edges Of the bark and the
surfaces Of the saw cut on the wood
with a sharp knife to see II the
whole surface is normal. II a water
soaked appearance is found, even
on the surface OF the wood, this in
dicates that the germs have penetrat-
ed the woody vessels and a lower
cut is necessary, repeating the same
process.
II the disease has run into the
bark Of a larger branch or extended
down on the body, the bark should
be thoroughly removed from this
area, cutting an inch or SO at the
margin and four to six inches or even
more at the bottom, according to the
viru1ence Of the case, as suggested
for work on the branches. \
A large-bladed pocket knife, a
scraper, and a three-fourths inch
carpenters gouge. kept well sharpen
ed; are useful in cutting out the
bark on these areas. The same prin-
;ciples Of looking for water-soaked
areas in the wood should be applied
here. and the gouge.- or perhaps the

The result is that the manufacture of
this particular type Of container will be
discontinued until the return on August
q of J. W. Paxton. superintendent OF
street cleaning. Efforts then will be
made to tighten the weight Of those now
in use bv the attachment of ball bear

Commissioner Newmans attention was
directed to the new receptacles by Will
liam Nick. Clayton. chairman OF tho
committee on public utilities Of the
Federation OF Citizens Associations.
They weigh. according to officials OF
the Street Cleaning Department. 2:o
weight Of the bags when filIed is from
1S to 100 pounds. The bag holders for
merly used weighed l2o pounds and car

.EUGEN|CS REGISTRY
Urged BY PHYSICIAN
Expert Tells Race Conference
Aristocracy Of Health Should
Be Developed.

SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 7,-Esta blish-
ment Of "eugenics registry" the pur-
pose of which shall be development Of
an "aristocracy Of health" and the Gre
alton of a group of human beings pos
sessed of superior characteristics OF
mind and body. was advocated today
by DR.. J. II. Kellogg. Battle Creek.
Mich. DR.. Kellogg spoke before the
conference on race betterment.
1.-THE establishment of a registry for
horses created a famous breed of Eng
lish thoroughbreds." he said. THE OBJ
ject sought by the proposed eugenics
registry is to accomplish for human be-
ings the same marvellous transforma-
tions. and to evolve the same better
ments that have been and still are be-
Ing accomplished for pigs and cattle.
We have created wonderful new species
of domestic animals. Why not have a
new and improved species of man?
THE object of a eugenics registry Is
to create arlstocracy Of health. The
world needs new aristocracy; not an
artificial blue-blooded aristocracy ere
ated by wealth or official authority. but
a real aristocracy made up OF Apollos
and Venuses and their fortunate prog
sny."
