C. 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.
