Twig blight has caused much dam
age, especially to young orchards,
within the last month. The blight at
tacks the young shoots of the cur
rent seasons growth on apple, pear,
ounce, plum and mountain ash, caus-
ing them to suddenly wither and turn
brown. The cause is probably due to
sudden changes in the atmosphere,
when the air is humid, followed by a
hot sun, like we have had recently
The remedy consists in cutting away
the blackened twig down to the sound
wood. These diseased branches
should be gathered up and burned at
once, to prevent the spread of germs.
Some varieties of pears and apples are
badly injured by the blight, while
other trees growing in the same row
have been found entirely free from the
disease.
Fruit trees planted in rich soil and
on low land have been badly damaged,
while the same variety of fruit trees,
planted on hillsides and in some in
stances rocky soils, are entirely free
from disease.
The fire blight of the apple, pear
and ounce is a very formidable dis
ease. 1t attacks the trees in different
periods of the growing season-from
June to September-says Barry, an
authority on fruit garden, and gen

able odor, and the diseased branch
or part turns black, as if burned by
fire. When the pear tree is attacked
it is difficult to save it, the disease
spreads so rapidly. In the apple and
ounce it is fess fatal, rarely killing
more than a portion of the tree. The
only remedy is to cut away instantly
the blighted parts into the sound
wood, where there is not the slightest
trace of the disease, and burn them up
at once.
Apple blight is a disease of serious
character, inasmuch as it invades
and destroys many orchards. Like
the dreaded fire blight of the pear,
there seems no preventive 1t at
tacks whole branch or limb, and
sometimes one-quarter to one-half of
the top is destroyed. The only
known remedy is to cut away the
diseased branches down to the
sound, healthy wood and burn at once.
The young trees should be cultivated
throughout the season and kept free
from grass and weeds. 1t is a good
plan to mulch young trees with coal
ashes or coarse, strawy manure Coal
ashes are best, spread about one bush
el around each tree. The ashes keep
the soil cool and moist and prevent
the moth from laying her eggs in the
soft bark.

PLANTING OF TREES
IN PROPER MANNER
Experienced Fruit Growers Sc
cure Best Results by Exer-
cising Some Care.

Almost any practical degree of
pressure over the roots in planting
may be advantageous, but it does not
follow that solidity to check sidewise
root growth is also beneficial. If it
were so, the annual digging, or rather
forking, of fruit plantations, would call
for condemnation.
Experienced growers of fruit most
ly agree that they always find the
trees planted well in accordance with
what is generally considered the prop
er method flourish better than those
less carefully planted, and this is the
common experience.
Take, as an example, field Of trees
and gooseberry bushes planted in a
wet season, when pudding was pretty
closely approached, gave very unsatis-
factory results. Many Of the trees
and bushes died, and the rest made
hardly any growth until two summers
of thorough cultivation of the soil
had loosened and aerated it.

GRAVELLY HILLSIDE
FOR PEACH ORCHARD
Even Sandy Soils Are Excellent
If Not Too Fine and the
Drainage Defective. :.

There is a general opinion that all
varieties of small fruit, such as
peaches, pears, plums, cherries, etc.
will thrive better when set out on land
that has a north or northeastern ex'
posure. The reason for this being SO
is that the buds will not start as early
in the spring and get caught by the
first frost after the warm weather
comes for few days.
The ideal soil for a peach orchard
is warm gravelly hillside. Even
sandy soils are excellent for peach
growing if the sand is not too fine
or the drainage bad. Heavy, cold
clay soil is unsuited to the peach.
Plum trees are naturally adapted to
sitter soils than the peach.
The soil must be in prime physical
condition before the trees are set out
This rule applies to all fruit trees, but
particularly to the peach. 1t should
also contain reasonable amount OF
fertility

Philadelphia is the city of homes,
he said, but if your home is north
of Market street you are considered
socially speaking, out of it. Your
home must be south of Market street
you must live down town-if you
would be social personality in Phila
delphia."

man, what difference does it make
where a man lives?"
"It makes all the difference in the

FINAL PLANS FOR
LIVESTOCK EXHIBIT
Chance for Ohio Stock RaiSsTs and Horse
Breeders. Commission Will Aid EIhib-
itOTs in Sending Stock to Expo.

Columbus. - (Special) - Directing
Commissioner Newton NJ. Miller has
returned from San Francisco to pre-
side at meeting of the Ohio exposi-
ton commission to complete arrange
ments for Ohio's participation in the
Forthcoming live stock and poultry
representation at the exposition.
Two years ago the Ohio legislature
appropriated $4,000 for a display of
agriculture, live stock and poultry at
the exposition, and upwards of $4,000
was expended in the way of agricul-
ture, which occupies one of the most
prominent booths in the Palace of Ag-
riculture, constituting what is consid-
cred an exhibit highly creditable to
Ohio. The display consists of corn,
wheat, wool, tobacco, honey, etc, and
is in charge of Clayton Breese Of Del
aware county.
The balance of the $4,000 appropri-
alton will be devoted to the display Of
live stock and poultry. There has been
delay in arrangements concerning the
live stock exhibit on account of the
quarantine against Ohio cattle, but Mr..
Miller took home with him assurance
that the quarantine will be practically
lifted.
Exhibitors of live stock will pay the
freight on their stock to the exposition,
running the risk of securing an award
and the consequent refunding of trans
portation costs by the commission.
Poultry will be judged in Ohio and the
best birds shipped at the cost of the
state. Two thousand dollars will be al
lotted by the commission for poultry,
to which the Ohio Poultry association
will add $4,000.
Not more than $4,000 will be spent
for transportation of horses, nor more
than that amount for cattle, nor more
than $4,000 for sheep or hogs. By
system Of scoring, allowing five points
for each head Of prize horses, four
points for cattle, one point for sheep
and one point for hogs, the proportion
of expenses on the live stock will be
determined. To prevent any single eX-
hibitor from entering too many ami
mails, only 100 points will be allowed
any one person.
]. E. Gault of Chippewa Lake, F. l..
Platt of Swanton and Thos. Faulkner
of Tiffin will be poultry judges and the
live stock display will be supervised
by Commissioners Charles Allen and
L. P. Bailey, in cooperation with
Charles Mcintyre, chief agriculturist
Ohio board of administration, and F.
S. Jacoby, professor of poultry hus-
bandry, Ohio State university.
