SERIOUS DISEASE or TREES
Fire-5Iight Has Been Termed Great
Black Plague" of Fruit industry
II Can BE Prevented.

(By j. II. CARMODY, Kentucky Expert
ment Station0
Fire-blight is undoubtedly the most
serious disease that Confronts the
fruit grower today San Jose scale is
no longer dangerous when trees are
properly sprayed. The sphis is easily
controlled as are all the other greatly
feared troubles of the past. After all
the other orchard troubles have been
successfully met and conquered, it is
very discouraging to see a promising
crop of fruit ruined in a short time.
In fact, blight has been termed the
great black plague" of the fruit in
dustry. 1t has been estimated that it
carries an annual loss OF $25,0000 900
to the country.
Blight is preventable disease, and
in view Of the tremendous losses occa-
stoned by it, systematic effort should
be made to check it.
Blight is caused by a minute germ
or organism that lives during the dor
mant season in cankers, resulting
LiOhl iHltCIlOu VI Tie previous season.
These Cankers are formed at the base
of the fruit spurs, on the branches
and in extreme cases on the larger
limbs and trunk Of the tree Every
fruit grower should acquaint himself
with the appearance of the canker
and destroy it as soon as noticed. II
every canker could be disposed OF, the
blight could be held in control.
Fire-bight is a problem involving
the community, hence, an organized
endeavor should be made to check it.
Learn to recognize the disease in it's
various stages, clean up the orchard
and encourage your neighbor to do the
same thing.
Do not be misled regarding the so,
called blight cures" There is no
patent cure and no one should ever
attempt to cure blight by spraying,
incubation or soil doctoring. Insects,
particularly aphis and ants. spread
blight. Use the sprays against these
