W r M. M l have e prepared pre jie pared a paper giving timely lImel o o lions lons with r reference to fruit destroy destroy- lug InG ng agencies an and outlining that lt hat ma may be he taken against them They have ha lave also given the remedies lo to to be he used for a number of blights that effect different plants Following Is the paper Up to lo the present season this tills dis disease disease dis- dis is- is ease has lias hao confined Itself t to the pear peal peartree tree Iree but now HOW It is beginning to attack the apple tree So far it is only affecting affecting af nf- af- af the twig an alIt and tile the apple tree unlike the pear peal tree Uce seems to 0 be bo holdin holding hold hold- in ing its Us own an and l we have every reason eason to believe that thai it will resist the inroads of ot the Hie disease so successfully that it 11 will eventual conquer of its Ils own ac ac- ac- ac cord cor The he blight In is a a. bacteria malady mal ad ady and HIll is about as 09 hard to contend with as the smallpox or a case of blood poisoning No successful method has haft hasas hasas as yet been Jeen discovered whereby tI the thc disease may be arrested The only hint as as to how to lo combat at It comes COlneS to tous tous tous us from flom noting that thal the thrifty t tree 1 is more mOIe l susceptible to lo It its attack than one which grows slowly therefore to arrest In in a n measure U the ll development of a n. tree does loes much to make it im immune tIll tIll- mune muno from flom this pernicious disease It Itis js ls just possible that the future lIla may d develop de tie- some sp species cleR of pear tree with sufficient resisting power powel to ward vard off nIT the blight but until this tilts is done tione the fire blight is IK bound to be bo the cause of considerable ra l annoyance We hove have met lilet with Iwo two instances where the owner thought his cherry cheny trees tres were affected l with the blight but bul bulIt It was found that the de deduction was vas made mallo from the thc tact fact of oC the pre presence of or the cherry slug The Tue slug is a hua gnawing wing insect and can call II easily be killed by an application on of air ah sIal slaked ell lime or 01 orby orby by spraying splaying with wilh als al's ai nite of lea lead or 01 ory IU y r even en be e destroyed by lIy throwing common dust upon tilt

Another Another Another An An- other effective way of getting gelling rid rill of o othis this little pest pst it Js to take a pan containing con con- tail ing a quantity of kerosene con I and early

tomatoes and al although although al- al though a little backward on account of ot the cold wet an and late spring the tomato croil this tills year will bo be This is a tomato year As to the white fly the conditions this year reat are arc jurt just the Ule reverse of oC those of or last year ear Then there were a score of flies CUes to to- toone one heel beet this year a a. careful Inspection of the beet fields r reveals vels the fact tact that there is about on one fly to a score of beets About the tIle only thing th the beets 8 m to be he suffering from Crom tills year ear Is the want of water There Ther is no good reason why t the lie beets should louI 1 suffer on this account as Vater water vaters K s sufficiently plentiful plentiful- to even eve the tho roads ronde right in the

particularly Inthe in lit inthe littile the tile vicinity of Hooper the tile farmers S notice numerous while willie leaves in jn their beet fields This is not cause caused by insects in in- in sects but bitt Ul Is the tho result of ot burning o or cooking the leaf The fhe ground has ha J been allowed to become unusually hot and when the tile water hits has been turned turnell on or h heavy av rain mill has fallen n the thc leaves coming com conz- log leg in contact with the ground and water become scalded In some ome Held fields the beets ore are larger now than at digging higging time lime last season sea I The acreage is smaller but the tile toni ton nage will be greater owing largely to belter better care cart and cultivation Unless th the b beet ct crop ClOP is allowed to t
