I LAST years experiences in Ohio
Indicate that streptomycin Is not
effective when applied at tenn
lperatures below S. F. At least
that is the present assumption
after two successful years of re-
suits when in the third year poor
control was obtained. There are
Istill many things to be learned
about the uses of the antibiotics
for fireblight control, but re-
search goes on and we will have
more information to guide Us
each year.
Control Vegetable Blights
1t is becoming apparent that
there are other plant diseases
which streptomycin will control.
especially those caused by bac-
terra such as halo blight of bean,
bacterial spot of pepper, potato
seed piece decay, and wildfire Of
tobacco. but so far they are of
more practical use to the COM
grower than to the home
gardener.
A few gardeners are doing
their own researching and un-
doubtedly will attribute success
to the use of this new material.
However, this is not to say that
1t should not be tried, but rather
that the user should make careful
note of all conditions so tina: his
results can be analysed.
One rose grower tried the
recommended dosage for fire.
blight and burned his roses. He
then reduced the dosage to five
parts per million and claimed to
have controlled blackspot and
mildew. The pathologists. how
ever. are skeptical Of its value
for the blackspot.
In the application Of strepto-
mycin it appears that the spray
should be directed towards the
lower as well as to the upper
leaves, as present evidence is that
1t does not move downwards
readily but does spread to the
higher branches under favorable
conditions.

Fireblight Of pears and Other
fruits has been one Of the most
difficult diseases to control. Al
one time 1t was so serious that
pear growing in the eastern
States was considered irnpossi.
Bile. Even at present it has tended
to limit the commercial produc.
ton Of pears.
The fireblight blackens the
blossoms and new twigs on pears
q few varieties Of apples, ounces
firethorn, and cotoneaster.
As the leaves and twigs turn
black the orchardist may try to
prune them out, cutting several
inches below the shriveled bark
area so as to get below the in
lection and also to avoid spread
ing the disease with his pruning
shears. Distinction Of the shears
after each cut is recommended
Sometimes this Is successful in
stopping spread and sometimes
not.
Many orchardists prefer to let
the blight take its course and
then prune 1t out in the winter
time after it has gone into the
dormant, hold-over. canker stage.
II not given attention the disease
may kill an entire pear tree.
Modern Practices
A few years ago the re-
searchers announced that they
were getting fair control by
spraying with Bordeaux in full
bloom. To reach all blossoms two
or three applications were neces-
sary.
Recent studies with the anti
biotic streptomycin has shown
considerable promise in the con-
troll of the f1reblight, and al
though there is still much to be
learned, several States are now
recommending its use. It Is being
sold for agricultural use under
the names Of Agrimycin, agri-
strep. Phytomycin. and acco
streptomycin. Virginia recon-
mends the use Of Agrimycin at
the rate of 10 parts per million
applied as the first flowers open.
A second application is made as
