prolonged rain throughout the season.
8. Drag in the fall just before the
ground freezes.
4. Drag in the winter, if the frost
leaves the ground. It will freeze
smooth.
5. Do not drag dry road.
How to Drag
1. Hitch to the drag with a log
chain drawing it at such an angle as
will crowd little earth or gravel to-
wards the center of the road.
2. If the drag cuts in too much,
shorten the hitch; if too little, length
en- it.
8. Let the team straddle the wheel
track. Go down on one side and back
on the other.
a. Drive the team on walk.
5. Ride the drag, unless the load
is too heavy.
The success of this work depends
solely upon the thorough manner in
which 1T is followed up.
The width of the travelled way to
be maintained by the drag should be
from nine to twenty feet; first drag
a little more than the width of single
wheel track, then gradually increase
until the desired width is obtained.
Always drag little earth toward
the center of the road until it is rails
ed from four to ten inches above the
edges Of the travelled way.
The amount of earth that the drag
will carry along can be very consider
ably controlled by the driver, accord
ing as he stands near the cutting end
or away from it.
When the roads are first dragged
after a muddy spell the wagons should
drive to one side, if possible, until
the roadway has a chance to partially
dry out.
The best results from dragging are
obtained only by repeated application.
Remember that constant attention
is necessary to maintain an earth road
in it's best condition.

SURGERY is THE ONLY
CURE FOR FIRE BLIGHT
University Professor Conducts
Experiments with Tree Paint
and Other Methods

University Of Washington, Oct. %,
That tree surgery is still the only
sure remedy for fruit trees attacked
by fire blight is the decision reached
by Professor John Hotson, plant path
ologist of the University of Washing
ton, after detailed research work done
in the orchards Of the Yakima valley
this summer. Professor Hotson in
vestigated the claims for the tree
paint supposed to be remedy for fire
blight and collected evidence from ex-
perienced orchardists, before reaching
a definite conclusion from his own ex-
periments carried on with trees upon
which the paint had been used.
Professor Hotson, who has spent
the past two summers in the Yakima
valley, has carried on a number of
other experiments in connection with
the fire blight, so destructive in or
chards. This year he discovered that
an apparently new disease attacking
cherries in that region was identical
with the blight attacking pears and
other fruit and was able to warn fruit
growers before the disease had a
chance to spread.
He has proved upon further investi-
CATION that the blight does not die
soon after exposure to sunlight and
heat, as was supposed from laboratory
experiments, but survives sometimes
more than a week, thus making it
necessary for diseased parts that have
been removed to be taken some dis
