Prof. O'Garu on Pear Blight.
Fruit pests in the Rogue River
valley was the topic chosen by Pro
fessor J. J. O'Gara on Tuesday at the
meeting of the fruitgrowers in Goll
Hill.
Regarding the blight he said:
"It ts In the springtime that the
first Intimation of blight Is to be
found. A germ Is deposited by some
Insect in the blossom on the ' tree
and from there It works down In the
tree until It reaches the bark where
it often necessitates the cutting away
of the entire tree. Sometimes
through the winter It Is dormant on
ly to renew Its activity with the re
swelling of the buds as the tree be
gins to take In sap. Very few cases
hold over however from one year te
the next.
"There Is very little danger In the
Rogue River valley from pear
blight,,' stated the professor, "bo
cause of the dry summers In this
section. The absence of humidity Is
another splendid aid. The Rogue
River orchardlBts need only to exhlb
tl a reasonable amount of work la
preventing Its start and they are
safe."
Mr. and Mrs. W. O. White arrived .

White's parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. C.
Young, and her two brothers, whe
arrived here a few months ago, own
adjoining farms. Mrs. White Is
one of the Easterners who had a
very vague Idea of at least some fea
tures of the West, an Idea which l
quite prevalent among those who are
not Informed on the subject of wllfl
beasts. She has been fearing to walk
along the road In the woods lest she
meet a bear. She has, however,
been assured thut such a thing ts not
possible, but even If It were possible,
the benr Is the one who would bo Ut
most frightened. The Whites hate
two married sons whom they hope
to bco out west soon.
