INJUNCTION AGAINST BLIGHT. 



Judge Memminger, at Charleston, S. C, 

 lias dissolved tlie temporary injunction is- 

 sued August 13 against D. T. West, upon 

 application of M. P. Croghan and other 

 truck growers, who set up that their cu- 

 cumbers were ruined by blight carried 

 through the Avinter iu West's green- 

 houses, and Mho asked that he be per- 

 manently enjoined from growing cu- 

 cumbers in his greenhouses. Two days 

 were devoted to the presentation of evi- 

 dence. 



Judge Memminger held that no show- 

 ing had been made which justifies an 

 injunction to prevent West from plant- 

 ing, as it had not been demonstrated that 

 West cannot pay damages, and because 

 the crops, the damage of which is threat- 

 ened, do not even exist. He holds also 

 that blight can be prevented in the green- 

 house if proper means are employed, and 

 that the farmers themselves may change 

 their opinion about the source of the 

 local blight. His order is of much in- 

 terest and will be read with close at- 

 tention. The attorneys of the farmers 

 who plant in the open and are bringing 

 the suit declare that they are going to 

 back their case to the end and are going 

 to appeal to the higher courts. 



Judge Memminger 's order says in 

 part: 



"The plaintiflfs have not received a 

 judgment at law establishing the exist- 

 once of defendant's greenhouses as a 

 nuisance and measuring their damages. 



' * There is here a very vague allega- 

 tion that defendant cannot respond ade- 

 quately in damages, but no proof what- 

 soever that he can not. Injury to crops 

 is capable of compensation in damages, 

 and is not irreparable, as injury to trees 

 has so frequently been held to be, and 

 upon which fact so many injunction 

 cases in our books are based. 



"The crops for which the plaintiffs 

 arc seeking protection are not in exist- 

 ence and will not be provided for or 

 planted until next spring (many months 

 hence). Plaintiffs arc not, therefore. 



This is an example of a balf-tone from one of 

 our 'wasli-dra'wlnBra— Kets much more detail

presenting to the court any present exist- 

 ing right in crops planted or growing, 

 but are seeking this relief tentatively. 

 In fact, even if the greenhouses are 

 closed they may yet change their minds 

 and not be willing to back their present 

 opinion with risking a crop against the 

 general blight which progresses each sea- 

 son from Florida, where it is endemic; 

 and may not plant such a crop at all, 

 and the injunction would prove to have 

 been needlessly obtained. * 



"In the meanwhile the defendant, if 

 not restrained, can have planted and har- 

 vested his fall crop, and if managed as 

 it can be, there will be no blight in his 

 greenhouses when he opens the ventilators 

 in the spring, and consequently, no dan- 

 ger to plaintiffs. The showing is abun- 

 dant that proper spraying and fumigat- 

 ing will keep the greenhouses free of 

 blight. 



"Defendant's business will be sus- 

 l)ended and probably permanently im-

paired. He has a large amount of capi- 

 tal invested in the enterprise, and is 

 operating it profitably, and as a means 

 of livelihood. Under the plaintiffs' view 

 of the case, he must be stopped now 

 six months before his ventilators will be 

 opened; whereas, it may well be that 

 there will then be no blight to be liber- 

 ated or no crops of theirs to be de- 

 stroyed. 



' * It might be that defendant could be 

 protected under an ample bond, which 

 the court would require of plaintiffs, in 

 his behalf if the injunction were con- 

 tinued. But having carefully weighed 

 the 'balance of inconvenience,' and the 

 whole matter upon the showing made
