Bowmanville In dry summers young shade trees have difficult time, to pull thru; effect of drouth is shown first by yellowish . color of leaves, veins being the last to turn yellow; if only a few trees it is a comparatively comparatively simple matter to save them- If the trees are in sod take a crow-bar .or.pick and. punch a couple of holes about three inches in diameter, one on each side of the tree, and about a foot and a half from it; fill these holes with water _ every evening and then plug .with a wisp of grass; this keeps the roots damp. If not in sod a sharp crow-bar and some patience can do it. Water thrown around the tree trunk never gets down to the feeding roots; then moistürë near the top stimulates stimulates growth of young roots there and these are in danger of destruction unless the moisture is kept constantly applied to them.

I4p of Dr. J. B. Dandeno, Bowmanville. Apple tree "twig blight" is a disease quite similar to "pear blight" (fire blight) on pear trees. The pear blight has proved very destructive, especially to certain varieties of pears and has ruined many pear orchards entirely. Both diseases are caused by bacteria, but of different species. So far as is known pear blight will not work on apple trees, nor will the apple twig blight work on pear trees. The symptoms of appletwig blight is dying off, and consequent drying up of the twigs without any apparent external cause. A tree so affected may be noticed from a considerable distance. In some cases à half or more of the twigs may be affected and in other cases, a few twigs here and there. The color of the dead leaves is never black as is the case with pear blight. Remedy : When first noticed, all affect; ed twigs should be cut from the tree and burned There is no known remedy other than this. But,if taken in time, a few hours' work with long-handled clippers may prevent thousands of dollars', - of des? tructiona. * - So far, this'disease has not proved nearly nearly so destructive as pear blight, but there in no telling how destructive it may become become if left unchecked. The writer noticed this disease this -year in the neighborhoods of Hamilton, Galt, Hes- péler, Waterdown and Guelph. It is not common as yet in the Bowmanville district. district. Keep it but. ;... .
