HEADQUARTERS Destructive Orchard Disease Pre-Inventory Specials For E V E R Y T H I N G In In an effort to prevent a spread of fireblight, the most destructive of apple and pear tree diseases, which has made its appearance among some orchards of Marion county, a bulletin is being sent out to farmers and orchardists by County Fruit Inspector C. O. Constable. Inspector Constable is devoting his entire time to stamp out the blight and the county court has promised him its assistance. In the bulletin symptoms and means of eradication of the disease are given. The bulletin follows: “ Your attention is called to the fact that fire blight, most des tructive of all apple and pear diseases, has recently made its appearance in Marion county. You are asked to join with the people of this county in a deter mined effort to stamp out the disease at once. The county court appreciates the seriousness of the situation and has promis ed its assistance to the farmers and fruit growers in this fight. Your fruit inspector is now de voting his entire time in an effort to discover the localities in which lire blight is present, and to assist the growers in eradicating it from such places. “ You can secure aid for your self and help in this work, which is being done for the whole coun ty, if you will make a search for possible cases of fire blight among the quinces, pears, apples, service berries, hawthorn, wild crabapple, etc., on or near your place, and send suspicious-look ing branches to the inspector. He will have them identified, and if blight is proved, he will visit your place as soon as possi ble and advise you how to get rid of it in the best possible way without the danger of spreading such a contagious and extremely virulent disease, as the blight may easily be spread by one who does not know the disease and how to handle it. Look for scattered dead branch es, shoots or spurs, with leaves that look as though scorched still hanging to them. On such blighted parts the bark is dark colored and sometimes milky drops of ooze containing count less bacteria appear on the sur face where they harden. Large dead spots, or cankers are some times found on the body and limbs. In tne present outbreak the quince is most commonly at tacked, but the blight occurs also on apple and pear, as well as on service berry, hawthorn and other wild trees of the apple family. Insects are the dissem inators of the disease.
