JER NEE, Watch For Fire Blight Cankers When Pruning Growers will recall last season the sudden appearance in their pear and apple orchards of dead twigs and oranches with the browned or black. sned 'leaves clinging to affected parts. This disease, known 'as fire blight, is saused by a bacterial organism which, under favorable conditions, is capahle of very rapid multiplication and spread, The bucteria remain alive over winter .t the margin of the cankers resulting trom the infection, und with the return of growing con- ditions in the: spring they renew their activity and. produce' a gammy sub- stance known as bacterial ooze. This ooze appears as small glcbulea over the marginal su.face of cankers and provides the source of new infections. This bacterial 'ooze, which contains many thousands of bacteria, is very readily spread by wind-blewn rain as well as by insects which come. in con- tact with it. ~ The above facts concerning this dis- ease serve to emphasize the import- ance of the caretul and thorough re- moval of all biighted parts. It is ad- visable to make several inspections of your orchards:to spot the pr e of the cankers which are serving to har- bor the fire blight organism over win- ter. Removal and destruction of such cankers reduces -the possible sources peint in disease control. The-appear- ances of the cankers might be briefly described. They may vary consider- ably in size, are purplish to black in color, somewhat sunken, often crack- ed and blistered. Generally the cank- ers are well delimited.by a distinct line. "of demarcation separating healthy from diseased wood, cut into, diseased bark will appear brown, while.stalthy bark surround- ing it will be pale green er creamy white in color In pruning out.fire blight cankers 1 is necessary to remember that the organism may extend some distance "houndary- of "the must be done at least four or five inches below tha apparent limit of the canker. : On young wood eight or ten fire blight will enter suculent, tender watersprouts and produce cankers on the supporting limbs ov trunks, These .sheuld be watched for carefully.

Business Girl "Girl Often Carries Heavy Load | New York.--If the average business woman should reveal the burden of family responsibility which she has been carrying through the past few years, the picture would be startling to 'most people, according to Miss Elsie McRobb of New York, who sees at first hand the financial problems of many self-supporting young wo- 'men, as Secretary of the retirement 'fund of the Young Women's Christian Association. 1 "It is surprising how much of a business woman's income goes to tne support of parents, sisters and broth- ers, «nd many times to friends," Miss McRobb says. "Naturally; these girls are frightfully worried, for their own savings have been drastically curtail- ed and omitted entirely in most cases.
