Diseeses
Prof. Kelly spoke briefly on
diseases of fruit trees. He stated
that scab is not a" great prob-
lem this year, but a new di-
sease called pear blast, which re-
sembles fire blight, has been
found very harmful, as it is
rough on both blossoms and
leaves and blackens the twigs.
He, said it comes from lilacs,
and cautioned those who dis-
covered. these symptoms to get
rid of their lilacs. He also
stated that powdery mildew is
just starting and requires care-
ful watching and treatment.
Prof, Teskey, spoke on mul-
ching and mouse control. He said
that mulehigan orchard feeds
trees as the mulch decays and,
with a little added nitrogen, sup-
plies minerals needed for good
color in the fruit. The mulch
keeps the ground beneath it at
a uniform temperature and is a
cheap food for the tr;ees.
Advises poisoning mulch
The disadvantage of mulching
is that it give's opportunity for
field mice to find ;homes in it,
and, as mice multiply prolifi-
cally, they are a terrible wreck-
ing machine to the orchards. :He
advocated a mulch poisoning about 40 to 45 bushels per acre,

saw the possibility of hiereased
