worthy of attention in South Car<

"Hold-over cankers of fire bligb
can 'be located by the blighted twig
on which the leaves have withere
and died. The canker is at the bas
of the twig. These should be locate
and removed. Thorough' winte
eradication coupled with vigilance i
the early part of the growing seaso
will control fire blight."
"Any pruning cut exposes th
heart of* the tree and opens the wa
for the heart rot fungi. As soon a
the cut surfaces are dry they shoul
be planted with a jwhite lead past

The healing of wounds comes abou
from 'callus' growth from the can:

"In the fall pruning of apple o
