FRUIT FIRE BLIGHT
CAN BE CONTROLLED

Fire blight of apples and pears Ii
also known as blossom blight, blight
canker. body blight, spur blight. etc.
1t not only attacks the pear and apple,
but also ounce, hawthorne. other
pome fruits. and even the mountain
ash Is host to the disease. This dis
ease is easily transmitted from any of
these hosts to any other. for fire blight
Is a bacterial disease.
Have you noticed dying-back of
growing tips on pears and upples, the
tips dying back for several inches,
turning brown, and the leaves hanging
on! That's fire blight. An orchard
heavily attacked will have a fire
scorched appearance. says writer in
Successful Farming. Sometimes the
attack is so severe that young fruit is
affected, becoming shriveled, turning
black, exuding milky, sticky fluid.
Bees and other insects readily carry
Infection from one tree to another.
Blossoms attacked wither and turn
brown. Spurs and branches are often
infected from the blossom cluster or
fruit cluster.
An infected branch frequently re-
suits In developments of canker. A
canker may also form from infection
due to pruning or other wound. Here
1t becomes commonly known as body
blight due to its position in the tree.
When Infection Is at all serious death
of the tree generally comes to pass in
short time.
Control is possible. 1t is possible
even with pears, but so difficult that
the pear industry has been swept out
of existence in many sections by
blight Apples. most varieties being
less susceptible to injury than pears,
are more easily protected.
l know of one pear orchard in Cali
fornia in which gangs of men patrol
every week throughout the growing
season, carefully clipping diseased
rwigs far below the point of injury,
disinfecting wound and tools after
each cut.
The infected twigs should be re-
moved as soon as noticed in the apple
orchard, too. Be sure to cut well be-
low the point of blight evidence.
For a disinfectant solution one of
the best is corrosive sublimate. one to
one thousand. A seven-and-a-half-gra
tablet of the disinfectant dissolved in
pint of water will be proper. Carry
the solution in a bottle, with a sponge.
which may be saturated in order to
thoroughly wet the wound after each
cut. A long-necked catsup bottle
makes a handy container. The sponge
may be wired in place over the mouth
of the bottle. One bottle may be
swung from the belt, where 1t will be
| readily at hand. another rigged up and
attached to pole pruner to touch up
wounds made out of reach of the hand.
The work of blight eradication may
be greatly facilitated by proper tools.
Hand pruning shears, saw, long
pole pruner, n scraper or plumbers
shave hook, and good sharp. sturdy
knife will fill the bill.
While cutting out blight as 1t ap-
pears is highly important, and should
by no means be neglected, neither
should the Importance of eradicating
hold-over cankers be overlooked.

Only High-Quality Eggs
Will Bring Top Prices

II eggs are dirty don't wash them,
because washed eggs deteriorate more
rapidly than unwashed, and detection
of a few washed eggs may cause buy
ers to penaliZe the entire lot.
Unusually large quantities Of
washed eggs are reported this spring
according to the Department of Agri-
culture. Although dirty eggs are dis
counted in price, washing eggs will
generally cause producers greater
loss.
Only clean, unwashed, high-quality
eggs bring top prices. Production Of
clean eggs is accomplished by keeping
hen house floors and nests clean, gath
ering the eggs daily AMI keeping tive
laying hens during muddy weather in
dry quarters until afternoon when
most of the eggs will have been laid.
Producers will find 1t more profitable
to use the soiled eggs on the farm.
and to market only the best quality
product, the department says.

SWAMP ROOT FOR
KIDNEY AILMENTS

There is only one medicine that really
stands out pre-eminent as a medicine for
curable ailments of the kidneys, liver and
bladder.
DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root stands the
highest for the reason that it has proven
to be just the remedy needed in thousands
upon thousands of distressing cases.
Swamp-Root makes friends quickly because
its mild and immediate effect is soon real
ized in most cases. 1t is gentle, healing
vegetable compound.
Start treatment at once. Sold at all
drug stores in bottles of two sizes, medium
and large.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation, send ten cents to DR..
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, n. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing, be sure
and mention this paper.-Advertisem

Encouraging Industry

The governor general of Madagascar

French company a concession of 25,-
600 hectares (a hectare is 2.47 acres)
on the west coast of Madagascar for
the growing of vegetable textile fibers
to be used in the manufacture of bags.
If, within four years, the grantees
construct a factory with a minimum
capacity of 625,00O bags annually, an
additional $4,000 hectares will be put
at their disposal, according to report
from Consul James G. Carter, Tanana-

Feed Value of Skimmilk

One hundred pounds of skim milk
from n feeding value standpoint only
are equal to about 1O1a pounds of
corn and IA pounds of tankage. How
ever, skim milk when fed to young
animals, such as pigs, in addition to
the feed value, has other properties.
In the first place, skim milk is n prod
uct manufactured by nature and is in

Loss BY Lightning

This is n good time to give atten-
tlon to the protection of the farm
buildings against loss by lightning.
Rods properly installed afford high
degree of protection. Rods already in
stalled should be carefully inspected
to see that all connections and joints
are in good condition, and particularly
that the ground connections are good.
Loss of stock in pastures may be re-
duced by grounding the wire fences

Loss in Feed Shortage

There is perhaps greater loss III
dairying through shortage of feed,
especially pasture, In summer than al
most any other cause. Cows do not
produce half of the milk they are cap
able of producing unless they get
sufficient feed. Where the pasture Is
apt to be short. there are two crops
we like to grow as substitute Tor

Swine tuberculosis
Blamed on Poultry
Disposal of Old Fowls Will
Eliminate Danger.

'repersd by the United statss Department
of AKricuitureJ
IN some localities poultry Is largely
responsible for tuberculosis infection
among swine, according to the find
ings OF the United States Department
OF Agriculture. Although scientific
and laboratory studies Of the different
types OF tuberculosis have thus far not
yielded definite information as to the
degree In which the various types Of
tubercle bacilli affect animals of DIFF
ferent species. field reports show clear
iy that swine are susceptible to infec-
tion from both poultry and bovine
sources. The infection in a given To-
cality may be from either one or the
other source. or from both.
tuberculosis in fowls occurs chiefly
among the older birds. especially those
more than two years old. The most
conspicuous symptom is going light"
meaning as the name indicates, q
rapid loss Of weight. especially the
emaciation Of the breast muscles.
Other symptoms are lameness and ruff
fled plumage. On post-mortem exam
nation tuberculous fowls usually show
whitish, grayish, or yellowish spots
on internal organs, notably the liver.
The prompt disposal Of old fowls will
eliminate most of the tuberculous in
fection, but when serious on the farm
1t Is advisable to dispose Of the en-
tire flock, to dislnfect the poultry
houses and premises thoroughly, and
then to Introduce new stock known
to be healthy. Dead fowls should be
burned or buried-never fed to hogs.

Reputation VS.. Character

Dear Martina Lee For the Asst eight
months l have been going witll young
man whom / have known for tEfNe years.
We both have had other dates. 1it ! have
had more dates with him than with any
other man. He has showed me wonder
full time. He has done everything he could
for me, and yet has not overdone it, He
has been a perfect gentleman at all times
He has been very considerable of both
me and my family. He has taken me to
his home many times, and his family and
l have grown to be very good friends.
They are very fine people,
After the first three or four dates, l was
told from various sources that to go with
him meant to ruin my reputation. I took
gamblers chance. 1 not aware that
anything happened short time ago
some one else told me I was endaugering
my reputation.
I should like to know whether to in
vesttgate this matter or let il pass by
There might have been reason for these
beliefs in years past, before l knew him
but certainly not now.
WONDERING.
You have known this man long
enough to judge his character. That
is far more important than reputa.
ton. which frequently is based, not
on fact, but on gossip.
You might tell the man what you
have heard, and let him give his
version. But 1 shouldn't worry
about it, if I were you.
