. Better fruit. Fruit-culture. iQid BETTER FRUIT Page II was apparently traveling faster across the limb than up and down the limb from the fruit spur. The first new blight in the Wenatchee district was reported to have been found May 22nd and 29th in the Naha- ham and Brender Canyons on Jon- athans and Bartletts. Just why the amount of blight exudate was so small in the Wenatchee district and had the relatively small percentage of blossom infection 1 am unable to say, unless the difTerencc in temperature conditions, as shown by the Weather Bureau's rec- ords, was a factor. June and July were months of un- usual blight activity in the districts afTected by blight. On June 16th, it was observed near North Yakima that blight was apparently making entrance at the base of leaf petioles, and on July 9th Dr. Hotson observed and later determined the presence of blight in- fection on the outer margins of pear leaves. On September 18th, the in- spector reported observations of many invasions of the leaves in the Spokane district. The specimens were sent to Dr. Heald, plant pathologist at the State College, where it was reported for a certainty that the blight had made its entrance through tlie leaf apparently without the aid of insects or mechan- ical injury. In the Selah district blight infection was observed on pear fruit on May 12th, which apparently became infected from the <lripping of blight ooze. That drupaceous fruits may sometimes become infected with pear blight has been proven. On June 19th, the inspector found four young prune trees at College Place, near Walla Walla, infected with tii) blight. Speci- mens were sent to Dr. Heald of the State College and he determined the infection to be that of ordinary pear blight. During June Dr. Hotson, at North Yakima, proved that cherry fruit could be inoculated with the pear blight organism and has cross-inocu- lated several times with Royal Ann tips.
