FIRE BLIGHT DAMAGES
THE STATE FRUIT CROP

ing organisms. which may actively
cause disease. This flow Of gum
takes place just prior to blossomiug
when nectar is scarce: the insects In
search of food visit these flows. be-
ing attracted by the sweetish odor.
Distribution.-The nectar loving in
sects having contaminated their
mouths from visiting these carry over
cankers which are actively oozing,
will visit the flowers as soon as they
open Then begins the wholesale dis
tribution Of the disease. resulting In
the general blossom. and later the
twig blight, so common the present
season. SCATTERING Of the bacterium
by rain is a secondary means of
spreading the disease. Lice and ants
may have much to do with late twig
infection.
Conditions Favoring Activity Of the
Disease Excessive rainfall. moist
and saturated atmosphere, heavy
dews. and long continued cloudy
weather are ideal conditions for rapid
progress Of the disease. Thorough
cultivation, the use Of manure. the
turning under OF heavy leguminous
cover crops. heavy applications Of
sodium nitrate. in fact any condition
or treatment which produces rapid
and succulent growth of wood viii
favor the development Of the disease
in the tissues. On the other hand.
drying winds. droughty weather. and
cultural treatments which tend to
harden the wood will retard the
spread and activity of the disease.
Control-In all severely infected
districts. control has been possible
only by the cooperation and active
organization Of the orchardists Such
efforts must he backed by stringent
laws governing cases Of negligence.
Farmer A, with all the skill and
knowledge at his command. cannot
control the blight in his orchard. If
Farmer B. across the road. persists In
growing infested pears and apples
that are loaded with carry-over cank-
ers Of the disease The bees may
readily carry the disease several
miles. Il has been shown that the
organisms may live in honey for A
hours.
In the face Of these facts. II is nee
essary that all measures must be as
sisted by a campaign Of education. as TO
the cause. symptoms means by which
the disease Is carried over winter. the
manner Of distribution, and methods Of
control. Thus far. the most success
ful methods Of control have consist
ed in cutting out the hold-over cank-
ers prior TO the ascent Of sap in the
spring. One days labor in the dor
mant season in cutting out such cank-
ers is worth a month of labor in sum-
mer. when wholesale infection IS
rampant. The equipment for cutting
and disinfecting consists of pruning
shears. both hand and extensionl
pruning saw, wide chisel. a mallet. a
sponge and brush; the disinfectant
which is made by placing one tablet

COcOanut Oil Makes
A Splendid Shampoo

II you want TO keep your hair in
good condition, be careful what you
wash it with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali This dries
the scalp. makes the hair brittle. and
is very harmful Just plain mulsi-
fed cocoanut oil (which is pure and
entirely greaseless) D.. Is much better
than the most expensive soap or any
thing else you can use for shampoo
ing. as this can't possibly iniure the
hair.
Simply moisten your hair with wa
ter and rub IL in. One or two tea
spoonfuls will make an abundance of
rich. creamy lather. and oleanses the
hair and scalp thoroughly. The lather
rinses out easily and removes every
particle Of dust. dirt, dandruff and
excessive oil. The hair dries quick
ly and evenly, and II leaves Il fine
and silky, bright. fluffy and easy TO
manage.
You can get muisifed cocoanut oil
at most any drug store II is very
cheap. and a few ounces is enough
to last everyone In the family for
months

Fire blight having damaged the
fruit interests OF the State this year,
Thomas F. Manns. plant pathologist Of
Delaware College Agricultural Ex-
pertinent Station, has issued the fol-
lowing bulletin on the subject
Fire Blight Epidemic in Nature, -
Frequent outbreaks Of this disease
have been recorded from time TO time
since its observation. about 1880 In
Delaware, the disease has been active
for some time; Chester, in 1901, pub
lished bulletin 50. calling attention to
methods of distribution and means OF
control. Within recent years the
need of cooperation among orchard
lists in the control of this trouble has
been emphasized
Symptoms Blossom blight. fire
blight. twig blight. canker and collar
rot, the latter affecting limb and
trunk, are all symptoms OF the same
disease. Twig blight is the most
prevalent and is indicated by the
blighting, burning-like, injuries Of the
twigs from the tips downwards. Bios
som blight often develops into twig
blight, and twig blight may develop
into cankers. such as limb and trunk
injury. Bacteria washing down from
the twig and blossom blight often
cause collar rot
Cause and Origin-The cause which
is bacterial was discovered by Bur-
rill of Illinois, in 1878. The organ
ism is very minute; a million or more
may be carried in a drop Of the sap
oozing from a limb or trunk canker
affected with the disease, or in the
nectar OF a single blossom. The or
ganism causing the disease is carried
to the blossoms and twigs by insects.
such as flies. bees, lice and ants. The
mouth parts Of single bee may in
feet a thousand blossoms on one trip.
How Carried From Season to Sea-
son We have no evidence whatever
that the organism Is carried over in
the soil. On the other hand, we have
abundant evidence that the disease
carries over IN the cankers on limbs
and trunk and that, at the first ascent
of sap in the spring, there oozes out
on nsipid gum from such cankers {;
this gum contains billions of the liv-

WORKS 19 YEARS TO
 CLEAR DADS NAME
New York Insurance Man Lives Fru- galIy to Pay Back Shortage Cred
 ited to His Father.

New York, Feb 22-Nineteen years ago the eMtropolitan Life Insurance company took into it's employ Charles G g Reid. who came to New York about twenty five years ago from St. John New Brunswick In all the years he has been with the Metropolitan MT. Reid has been hard-WOrking, faith full employe, who, as one of the off, cials said yesterday "has never failed to justify every trust imposed in him"
 But none of his fellow employees knew the secret of Charles Reid's life and why it was that he was so frugal Yesterday the secret came out when a copv of the St. John Daily Tele- graph of Feb. 12 last was received in New York. The Telegraph printed an article which was captioned Pays s1O,OOO to County After 30 Years to Clear His Fathers Memory"
 Nearly thirty years ago. the story as told in the Canadian paper reads, "the municipality claimed a shortage of s5.264.87, upon an audit being made of the accounts of Thomas M. Reid, the county treasurer, who had just died. and now negotiations are con- cluding between the municipality and Charles G. S. Reid of New York, d son of the late treasurer, for the pay 'ment of $1O,000 it being understood that all references to the accounts of his father be stricken from the rec ords The son has been labOring for the gerater part of his life, it has turned out. to make good the claims upon his deceased father and to erase the alleged blemish against his mem-
