Paint No Cure for Fire Blight 

 Mr. F. E. DeSellem, County Fruit 

 Inspector in Yakima, calls the atten- 

 tion of the fruit growers to be on the 

 lookout for blight during the season. 

 He states that some growers have an 

 idea that paint is a cure for fire blight, 

 but everybody who knows anything 

 about the orchard business knows that 

 no preventative or no cure for blight 

 has ever been discovered. There is 

 only one treatment to get rid of fire 

 blight, that is to cut it out. In the 

 cutting out process extreme care 

 should be taken to cut below the blight 

 infection, and after each cut the knife, 

 pruning shears, or saw, with which 

 the cutting is done, should be disin- 

 fected before making another cut. 



Apple Crop 40,50.5,000 Barrels 

 The American Agriculturist, in its final 

 apple crop estimate for the year, gives 

 the commercial apple crop of 1914 for 

 the United States as 40,505,000 barrels. 

 This is considerably below the Govern- 

 ment estimate put out in September of 

 70,000,000 barrels, which many people 

 claimed at the time was entirely too 

 large. The estimate of the crop in the 

 different sections is given as follows: 



1914— Barrels 



New England 3,620.000 



Middle States 17,410,000 



Central West 5,375,000 



Far West 5,070,000 



Southern States 6,000,000 



All other 3,000,000 



Total 40,505,000 



1913— Barrels 



New England 2,520,000 



Middle Slates 12,010,000 



Central West 5,500,000 



Far West 4,170,000 



Southern States 3,700,000 



All other 3,000,000

Mr. W. King, who has charge of the 

 hydraulic department of the Berger & 

 Carter Company of San Francisco, who 

 are Western representatives for the 

 Hydraulic Press Manufacturing Com- 

 pany, of Mount Gilead, Ohio, will be in 

 Ihe Northwest about August 1, with 

 headquarters at Berger & Carter Com- 

 pany's office, 406 Pacific Building, Seat- 

 tle, Washington. This will offer an 

 opportunity for fruit growers who are 

 figuring on doing some cider and vine- 

 gar making this year to pick up some 

 considerable knowledge and informa- 

 tion about this work. 



The Scbasto])ol .\pple Show will hold 

 its sixth show at Sebastopol, Califor- 

 nia, -August 14. Secretary J. P. Kelly, 

 formerly of Portland, Oregon, reports 

 that this show will be the greatest suc- 

 cess of any that has been held. Already 

 many exhibitions have been promised 

 and the fruit is a sijlcndid quality, indi- 

 cating that the show will be a marvel 

 this year.
