Fire blight appealed in many orchards in .June and July. .\s a rule not over six or eight branches per tree were infected. Jona- than, Rome Beauty and Crabs were the varie- ties which showed tlie most injury. One new outbreak of coddling moth was found in the Bitter Root Valley. ,\1I orchards in the near vicinity have liecn carefully in- spected and plans are being made to prevent further spreading. All possible precautions will be taken to maintain the past reputation as the home of the "wormless" apple. On account of the favorable weather condi- tions, and the spraying program followed by the growers, scab is conspicuous liy its ab- sence. Only where wilful neglect is the sys- tem followed can traces of scab be found As will be remembered, there was practicallv no scab last year.
