ORREN BEATTY TELLS
HOW TO CARE FOR
THEM.
WHEELER COUNTY Or
CIIARD ARE
NEGLECTED.

The orchards Of Wheeler coun-
ty are in most cases sadly neg
lected and we find them badly
diseased and in many cases dying.
Nearly every orchard is infested
with fire blight, some have San
Jose scale and in several sections
worms have ruined most of the
fruit this season. On account of
this neglect there will not be e.
nough fruit in this county to sup
ply the demand.
of all the diseases the worst in
thsi county is the fire blight.
1t can be found in nearly every
orchard and is fast spreading.
1t is caused bya minute organism
form of bacteria and starts at the
tip of tender growing shoots and
goes dowon killing the branch as
it goes. whole tree and some |
times whole orchards are killed I
in nthis way. The disease is spread |
by means Of the wind, birds and
insects.
Now is the time to destroy fire
blight while the trees still have
their leaves on so you can tell
where the disease is. you can
tell by the dead leaves and bran
ches that look like they have been
killed by fire. Cut out the dis
eased parts about a foot below
where the branch is dead and
burn them at once. The cutting
tool should be disinfected after
each cut as the disease might
be spread by some of the bacte-
ria clinging to the knife and be-
ing inoculated into healthy wood. !
with corrsive sublimate, {
ono part to one thousand parts Of
water. Look your trees over al
so for blight canker, which will t
be found on the older branches :
and on the trunk of the tree.
Where ever it is found it should
be cut out and the wound painted e
with white lead. The tree should i
also be sprayed in the spring t
