LEAF BLISTER MITE DAMAGE
Small Animal, Invisible to Eye, At
tacks Standard Varieties of Pear
and Apple Trees.
-
I
Red or green blisterlike spots ap
pearing in the spring on the foliage
of the apple and pear are usually due j
to the leaf-blister mite. This is not an
insect but a small animal, invisible to
the unaided eye, which attacks stand
ard varieties of pear and. apple trees j
and often inflicts serious damage, i
Where trees are seriously infested the j
premature fall of both fruit and leaves
may result. Iq such cases a special
application of lime-sulphur wash or j
other spray may be necessary. Ordi- ,
narily, however, the regular orchard
spraying is sufficient to control the
mite. Badly infested branches of the
pear trees may be cut off and burned.
Care should be taken not to confuse
the work of the mite with the leaf
spot disease or the results of heavy j
spraying.
The leaf-blister mite passes the win- ;
ter beneath the -bud scales. There it |
waits for the opening of the buds and
attacks the young leaves as soon as |
they push 'out in the spring. The tiny j
animals bore small holes from the un- i
derside of the leaves into the interior, .

where they lay their eggs. This
causes the small, pimpielike galls on
the upper, surface of the leaves. The
spots later increase in size, sometimes
to one-eighth of an inch, and on the
pear tree are red and often brilliantly
colored as they grow. In the case of
the apple the eruptions lack the more
brilliant coloring and are found more
along the margin of the leaf. In both
cases the spots finally turn brown- w;
black, and if the pest is abundant the
leaves become ruptured and wrinkled.
More than 250 varieties of apples I
are attacked by the mite, injury being
especially severe on some well-known
commercial sorts, such as the Ben Da
vis, the King, Baldwin, Rhode Island
Greening and the Williams Favorite.
Where orchards are seriously in
fested, as has been noted in New York
state, lime-sulphur washes give excel
lent results. They avoid the injuri
ous effects upon fruit buds which
sometimes result from the use of oil
sprays. The wash should be applied
thoroughly, coating the twigs and
branches.
A standard solution of ' kerosene
emulsion may also be used. The stock
solution should be diluted with five
parts of water for spraying purposes.
On the pear the mites may be kept
reduced^ to an important extent simply
by searching out in the spring small
branches bearing worst infested leaves,
pruning these off and burning them,
or sprays may be employed exactly as
indicated for the apple, if this is con
sidered necessary.
Except in cases of serious infesta
tion special spraying for the blister
mite will not be necessary. As to
Leaf-Blister Mit&? 1, Dorsal View; 2,
Ventral View.
whether or not it is advisable to spray,
the orchardists will have to decide
after determining as exactly as is pos
sible the amount of injury thaf is be
in^ done by the mites, and care should
be taken not to confound with its in
jury that which has resulted from fun
gicidal or paris green sprays, and from
leaf-spot diseases.

Why Rheumatism Gomes
With Gold Weather!
BY VALENTINE JIOTT PIERCE, JUL. D.
A close" conneetion exists between
these two ? cold weather and rheu
matism. Prof. Alex. Haig, of London,
has the most followers in the medical
profession in the belief that the prud
ence in the system of uric acid, or its
salts in excess, is the real cause of rheu
matism. Everyone has recognized the
difference in the appearance of their
water as seon as it gets cold ; there is
often a copious sediment of brickdust.
Several causes may lead up to an
accumulation of uric acid in the system,
which, in turn, causes rheumatism or
gout, or creaky joints, or stvollen fingers,
or painful joints. For ope reason the
skin does not throw off the uric acid, by
profuse sweating, as in the hot weather,
and the kidneys are unable to take care
of the double Ipurden. Another reason
is that people do not drink as much
water in cold weather as in summer,
which helps to flush the kidneys. Again,
they eat more meat in cold weather, ana
some people are so susceptible that they
soon develop rheumatism after eating
meat.
At all such times persons should drink
copiously of hot water, say, a pint
morning and night, and take Anurio
three or four times a day. This An
uric comes in tablet form and can be
had at almost any drug 6tore. It dis
solves the uric acid in the system
and carries it outward. I would advise
everyone to take Anuric occasionally,
and continue for three or four weeks,
and in that way avoid rheumatism, goufe
and many of the painful disorders due
to uric acid. ? Adv.
