E. Schuster, Field Horticulturist, O. A. C. Extension Division. A visit through the orchards of Heppner and surrounding vicinity shows that there are three main troubles affecting the fruit trees be sides several minor ones. 'All of these can be controlled sufficiently and with little cost to insure a good crop of fruit so far as these troubles are concerned. Fire blight is doing some damage at the present time and is very apt to do much more at any time. . Fire Blight can be noted by the dead ap pearance of the leaves on a limb as if they had been scorched by fire hence the name of Fire Blight Fire Blight is found on apples and pears and is caused by bacteria. The only control is to cut out the effected parts. Cut out the effected parts well below the diseased section and burn, for it the diseased partB are left lying around insects will carry the bacteria to some other place where a new tree or parts of tree will be infected. The tools used in cutting out the diseased parts should be disinfected by using mercury bichloride one part of mer cury bichloride to one thousand parts of water. The tools are wiped with a rag, wet with the solution and the cut should be washed with it' also. This fire blight must be controlled by individual work but can usually be done if watched carefully. . Also everyone has a greater or less number of wormy apples caused by the larva of the coddling moth. The worm is so common that every one knows it. These are destroyed by covering the surface of the apples with a poison spray and according to conditions it will soon be time for a new generation of worms to appear. To kill them spray with lead arsen ate, one pound of the powdered lead arsenate to fifty gallons of water or one ounce to three gallons of water. Another season they should be spray ed for earlier in the season as well. Just at this time' there will be found a slug feeding on the leaves of the cherries and pears. The leaves appear dead and dark at a distance and on examination a greenish, slimy slug will be seen feeding on the upper surface of the leaves. These can be controlled by the same spray as used for the codling moth or easier yet, in many cases, simply by dusting the leaves with air slaked lime or even road dust. Put the dust in a burlap sack and shake over the surface, see ing that the leaves are thoroughly covered. As general as the others or even more so is the San Jose Scale that has practically killed quite a number of trees in this vicinity and surely will kill them if the scale is not des troyed. These are found as minute scales, under which will be seen a yellow, soft body, and often the scales are so thick as to entirely cov er the bark of the tree. The scale is killed by spraying with lime sul phur during the winter or early spring, before the leaves come out, using one part of lime sulphur to ten parts of water. The spray must touch each insect so the work will needs be thorough, j The work of cutting out the Fire Blight will probably best be done by each owner as the fire blight shows up. But the control for the remain der of the disease can quite easily be handled under a community coopera tive plan of spraying. With a power sprayer already on hand it should be an easy thing to get someone to do the work. For each person to get an 1 outfit to spray his trees is too expen sive and in most cases it will not be done. These trees proving a menace to those orchards that are being sprayed. While the cost of an Indiv- ual outfit may be prohibitive the cost with a community outfit will be much less and the slight cost will be many times repaid by the amount of fruit gathered. This community should raise all the fruit for its uses in the gardens and small home orchards and fruit of an exceptional quality If appearances are not deceptive. But the trees will need care the same as any other crop though no other crop will repay as well for the care btr stowed on it. One of the cares is to ' spray in order to keep the insects and I diseases under control to allow the ' trees to grow and develop fruit to the best of their ability. Big Decline In Sheep Since '14 Before the war the United States had anoroximately one-tenth of all ! the sbeop in the world. Since then the total number of sheep has de creased from all causes about one tenth, possibly more. That makes the world decline in excess of 50 mil lions of sheep, or slightly greater than the number of sheep in the Uni ted States. 1 In some countries there has been no increaso since 1914, but from the reports of the International Institute of Agriculture and also of the Food Administration, the countries which report increases are outnumbered by those whose sheep raising declined. .The Canadian Feed Board places the probable decease in sheep in Europe alone in excess of 64 millions, That is considerably higher than other estimates, but it is fairly safe to conclude that at the time the arm istice was signed there were fewer sheep In the world by many millions than when Belgium was invaded. 11 CECIL NEWS ITEMS Cecil Thorne of Morgan was call ing in Cecil Sunday.
