Blight Of Fruit Trees.
No subject at just this time is
attracting more attention by fruit
growers than that of the blight
of the apple, pear and quince
trees. Scores of specimens from
various parts of Pennsylvania
have recently been sent to State
Zoologist H. A. Surface, Harris
burg, asking him to name the
trouble and state what to do for
it. He replies that he finds the
disease to be the one commonly
known as Pear Blight, also call
ed Black Blight, Twig Blight,
Trunk Blight, Bark Blight, etc.
It is a bacterial disease that
works within the tissue of the
plant, and, therefore, can not be
reached by spraying liquids. It
may start at the blossoms, or at
any place where the bark is bro
ken, or where injury has occur
red. One reason why the blight is
so unusually bad this spring is
that there was a general and se
vere hailstorm in the early part
of May, which resulted in break
ing the bark all along the twigs,
splitting it longitudinally, ormak
ing little circular cuts from one
quarter to one-half inch in length
A close examination will reveal
hundreds of such cuts made in
the bark by hail stones in almost
every fruit tree over the entire
territory traversed by the storm.
The blight germs enter these
openings in the bark and work
upward and downward in the
twig, causing speedy death of
tissue, making the leaves and
fruit turn black and wither, and
the twigs to break. This partic
ular disease is confined to the
pome fruits, or apple, pear and
quince, and is the most serious
disease of these fruits. When it
enters an opening near theground
such as is often made by borers,
mice, or injury by the cultivator,
it takes the farm known as Col
lar Blight or Collar Rot, and is
very destructive.
There i3 nothing that can be
done to cure or remedy all the
Blight after it has once started.
The only process recommended
by plant pathologists is to cut it
out, and thus stop its ravages.
The cut should be made at least
a foot below the blighted area,
in order to be sure to cut below
all diseased tissue. Paint the sur
face of the wound with strong
lime-sulfur solution or formalin
solution. One quarter of a pint of
formalin solution in five gallons
of water makes a good steriliz
ing solution to be used at any
place where disease germs of
plants, animals or mankind are
to be killed.

High Grade Plain Pianos, Playef
Pianos, Organs, Victrolas, Rec
ords, and Professional Tu
ner, McConnellsburg,
Nothing adds more to the refinements of home than
good music. To have good music you must have a good
instrument. There are good bad and indifferent instru
ments, and to the unskilled eye they look much alike.
The".unprincipled dealer is likely to make you pay a
first-class price for a fourth-class instrument. I have
lived in this county since my birth, 1 am a taxpayer and.
in a position to make good any business transactions.
Buy your piano, organ, or victrola from me and if it is
not all right you can come back at me.
There are families in every part of this county that
have purchased instruments from me. Ask them about
me.
Perhaps you want to trade your organ for a Piano,
or Player Piano; or your Plain Piano, for a Player. See
me. Let's talk it over.
