And sighed for pity as II answered-"No."
Tell me, thou mighty deep,

Some island far away.

Where sorrow never lives,

GET AFTER THE PEAR BLIGHT.

GET AFTER THE PEAR BLIGHT.
Pear blight is bacterial disease that
attacks not only the pear tree but IS
very frequently seen among apple trees
as we'll. This disease is active only IN
the growing season, but the diseased
branches can easily be detected In the
dormant period by their shriveled and
blackish appearance.
Blight is carried mainly by insects
as they visit the blossoms. It enters
through the blossoms into the succul-
emit tissues and progresses towards the
large end of the twig causing the lea
yes to die and the bark of the tw1g to
shrivel and turn black. Entrance IS
/, some times made through small open
ines made by insects or at the end OF
tender twigs. Since the disease works
only in the corbinium layer just under
the outer bark, spraying does little OF
no good toward preventing it or check
ing it's progress. The only means to
combat this disease is to cut off the eft
fected parts and burn them immediate
ly. In case the tree is very badly eff
fected it is desirable to cut the tree
down and burn it.
Every farmer who has a few pears
or apple trees should spend few hour
among his trees with a sharp instru
ment cutting out the diseased branches
Each cut should be made some eight O
ten inches below where the disease i
noticeable. After cutting each brancl
the instrument should be dipped in
solution of carbolic acid or some othe
disinfectant that the instrument itsel
not be a means of spreading the dis
ease. This work will be more ef1icien
if it is done before growth starts an
insects begin to visit the trees.
The farmer who wants to keep a
much of the blight as possible out Q
his orchard Would do well to talk to hi
neighbor who has a few trees nearb
and get his cooperation in checking tn
disease.
Irving to combat blight in ones ow
orchard while there are trees nearb
harboring the disease is miserably poe
business.
Respectfully,
w. A. McMURRAY,
q County Agent.
