FIRST ASSAULT
HALTS BLIGHT
COUNTY EXPERT WARNS GROW
ERS AGAINST CARELESSNESS.
Battle but Half Won, Future Atten
tion Being Necessary.
BY CLAUDE C. CATE.
(County Farm Expert.)
I wish to thank the farmers and
fruit growers of the Grande Ronde
valley for the excellent way in which
they have responded to the call for
the control of pear and apple blight
of the valley. And I feel that the
success that we have attained so far
in eliminating holdover blight, is
in a very large measure due to the
prompt action of the many farmers
and fruitgrowers in combating this
dreadful disease. Many of the
farmers have set aside other work
that was very pressing in order to
assist in the general cleanup of the
holdover blight. Teams that were
needed very badly in the field have
been laid off, and the men armed
with pruning shears and saws have
done noble work in following out the
directions for stamping out the dis
ease. It is only with such unity of
action, that anything of importance
along the line of blighfr control may
be accomplished. I . believe that a
great deal of good has been done in
this spring cleanup but sometimes I
am tearful, that through a mis
understanding of the life history of
the blight germ, some may be willing
to rest upon results previously ob
tained, and from negligence or mis
information, cease to keep eternally
after the disease.
I would like to urge or remind the
owners of fruit trees, that in order
to reap the fullest benefits of the ef
forts already exercised, we must
keep a diligent watch for all new
infection and remove every branch
or twig as soon as discovered to be
diseased.
It is nearing the time when blight
will be in evidence, in fact some new
blight has been found already, and it
will be found advantageous by every
orchardist to patrol tne premises
set to pears and apples and remove
all evidences of blight as fast as it
appears. Be sure in cutting out
blight in the summer form to thor
oughly disinfect all wounds and in
struments after each cut. The eerm
at this time is easily transferred
from one cut to another, and unless
careful methods are used in disin
fecting, spreading of the disease may
result instead ot suppressing it.
Do not be deceived and eventually
damaged by tne thought that bliirlit
will not strike us this season. Do
not experiment with diseased limbs
or trees just to see what the results
will be. Diseased portions may ooze
little or much and the exuded sap
contain many germs, which may be
curried from place to place by vari
ous insects that visit these moist
places to obtain food from tne sugary
contents of the sap, thereby becom
ing laden with the germs and then
carry them to other places where new
infections may appear. So in
destroying this new blight as soon as
it appears, a source of infection
for iuture is destroyed, and untold
damage is prevented that would oc
cur later in the season. Again by
removing the branches as soon as
they show infection, mucn damage is
prevented to the infected tree by
heading off the disease before it
reachs the larger limbs or trunk.
Blight germs may gain entrance
to the fleshy bark and cambium of
the larger limb or trunk through the,
blossoms, water sprouts, and buds
that have become infected and al
lowed to remain on the tree until the
germs find their way down to the
main limbs, other methods of en
trance may be through growth
cracks, wounds caused by pruning,
spraying, or cultivating or by insect
punctures, and in fact anything that
may cause a break in the bark and
expose the tender and moist tissues.
Insects like green aphis and catter
pillars that have come in contact
with the germs may spread the dis
ease by eating the tender tissues of
the small twigs.
Remember the main object in con
troling blight is to eliminate the
source of infection. This we have
tried to do by cutting out the hold- j
over blight before the blossoms open,
and if we could destroy every hold
over conkers before buds break in the
spring, we would not lie bothered
with any blight during the summer.
While noble work has been done in
endeavoring to accomplish this con
dition, we have undoubtedly missed
some that will crop out this summer.
Let our mnin efforts be to destroy
all infested branches as fast as they
appear, and remember that the all
important thing is to remove the
source that is causing trouble now.
and what, if left nlonn. will cause it
another year.
Some people lose heart in the
work be-nuse they hear that blight
is to be found in the trees in the
forests, and naturally think that nil
efforts to control it in our cultivated
trees will be useless. While the
germ does not effect other trees, it
has never been found to winter over
on trees other than the pcnr.apple
I and possibly the - quince. So in
eradicating the holdover on our cul
tivated trees, we will not be bothered
with it on the wild trees. Some of
the plants attacked by this germ are
service berry, mountain ash, wild
pear and apple, haw or thome, and
in fact all varieties of the pomus
fruits. There are many forest trees
that have blighted limbs, but these
are not caused by this germ, hence
should not cause any alarm to or
chardists. This is not a disease that should
require thought and action by or
chardists alone, but every farmer or
person who has a few trees should be
deeply interested and use all means
to assist in controling it. I have
met parties in the valley who came
here from various places in the cen
tial states, not because they could
better their conditions in regard to
general farming, but because in ad
dition, they could have various kinds
of good fruits in their door yards,
which was a luxury never known in
their old homes. Many expressions
I have heard similar to the follow
ing: "We used to have all the nice
apples and pears that we could use,
but oh my, look at the orchard now,
or the place where the orchard used
to be." So it is difficult for some to
realize the danger until it is too
late.
Much could be written about the
I damage done by blight in other dis
tricts, and much about what has been
'done in controling it in infected dis-
jtneta. Some brilliant examples
i stand out as monuments to the ef
forts of some communities that have
l.worked in unison. "Eternal vigil
' ance is the price of an orchard," and
especially so when blight is a l'actor
in its development.
I Don't expect to see the blight germ
with the unaided eye. It would re
quire 2,500 of them placed end to end
to make an inch in length. Use cor-
irosive sublimate for disinfection and
no other.
Again I wish to thank the people
of Union county who have per
formed the first part of the blight
control so nobly and promptly, and
hope that they will realize that the
work is just begun, and be prepared
for more vigorous action this sum
mer. Demonstrations will be conducted
in regard to cutting out and treating
blighted trees wherever demanded.

It is an easy maxter to prevent di
seases of the scalp by using Meritol
Hair Tonic, it should be used reeru
larly to keep the scalp free of germs,
as these germs are the cause of the

later, baldness. We are authorized
