Cure for Blight.
A Victorian orohardist has flue- ' ceeded in stemming the blight among -, i » orchard trees. The experiment was made on an old tree nearly dead from $ blight, with the result that the tree ..V yielded the largest crop of any in the ■ orohard. The mode of treatment ■„' ,-i was to dissolve loa of blue stone m a gallon of water, loosen the earth round the rootß, then to pour the bluestone water on the loose earth' close to the base o! the tree about thetime when the 3ap rises. The bluestone is thus equally distributed" . ' % throughout all parts of .the trtev' „ % " About six gallons of bluestone Vater ' ' is sufficient for one tree. It should be applied about three times in dry ■ weather, if possible.—Oamaru Mail.
