Apple Blight In Mountains Held 'Worst In 20 - 30 Years' I Fire blight, which attacks apple and pear trees, has hit Western Carolina orchards harder this year han it has for the last 20 or 30 years, according to H. C. Fink, plant pathologist at the state agri mltural experiment station at Hcn 'ersonville. During a tour of the county last week, Mr. Fink told The Mountain eer that Haywood and Wilkes coun ties have been the hardest hit in the mountain section and that their apple and pear crops will be "cut considerably". Fire blight, the pathologist point ed out, is the first bacterial disease of plants ever to be described by man. It is spread by pollinating in sects, both wild and domestic, and hy spattering rains and winds Lntil recently there has been no really effective control against fire blight. iMr. Fink said, but use of the new antibiotics is proving ef fective in halting infestation. In control experiments now be ing conducted by N. C. State Col lege at Raleigh, streptomycin and agrimycin la mixture of strepto mycin and tcrramycin) have afford ed good control, Mr. Fink related. Chemicals to be Effective, must he applied during full bloom, he added. The pathologist also cautioned county orchardmen ?o keep a fun gicide coVer on their trees as a protection against black rot. which often follows fire blight and usually makes its appearance In July.

D. Brown, member of the ! dairy marketing committee from N. C. State College, at a special j meeting at the courthouse Mon- j day night. Feed costs for producing 100 pounds of milk in this state range from 15 to 45 cents higher than the national average, it was pointed out. Mr. Brown asserted that North | Carolina dairymen need to pro duce and feed more cheap riugh age such as good quality silage and legume hay and not depend so much on high-priced grain for milk production. The State College dairy special ist explained that the cost of distributing milk in North Caro lina's record is notably poor ? ively small cities in the state and lack of densly populated areas. Dairymen and processors must get costs down, he added, because competition for the market today is on a nationwide scale instead of on a state level as was true form erly.
