Walsh, President of tht Illinois Natural History Society, and well known as an entomologist, recently read a paper before the society mentioned, on the cause of the blight, or the “fire blight” in the apple aud pear tree. The conclusion to which he has arrived is, that the blight is caused by certain species of insects called leafboppers. We give below a summary of the points laid down as the result of his investigations:1. Fire-blight in the apple and pear is caused by two species of leaf-hopper (Tit-tigo) described by me in the Prairie Farmer last year, Chloroneura male/ica and Chi. maligna.2. In the autumn these insects lay their eggs, from 7 to 10 in number, in slits about | of an inch long, cut lengthwise, in the bark of twigs and branches, and easily recogaized by their Bcaly, rough appearance. They also pass the winter in large num bers in the perfect or winged state.3. As these eggs lie dormant for eight months before they hatch, and as the sap-wood tarns brown on each side of the egg-slit, there must be some poisonous fluid derailed bv the mother insect in the egg slit;otherwise the wound would grow over and teal up.4. This poisonous fluid is absorbed in- « to the system of the tree, and blight results the next spring, even before the; rouug Tetiigonians are hatched.5. The beak of the TeUigonian sprats to have some poisonous property, for the leaves turn brown when they are punctured by it. This is called; out West,leaf-blight,” and may aW be seen on rmpe vines badly infested by their peculiar eaf hoppers.6. Almost every tree has one or mold reculiar leaf-hoppers. For example, two epecies occur on the crab, thorn, pear and apple, the same that I belive to cause the lre-biight; another ou the white elm; a-nolber on the eycaraore or button-wood— all three of them undescribed; and fou. distinct species on the grape vine, two of which were first described by me in the Prairie Farmer.7. On the elm it requires a very great number of egg-sliU to cause a blight; on the crab a less number; on the pear a very small number.8. On the elm and crab apple, and most other trees, the egg is generally placed half in the sap-wood and half in the bark. On moat varieties.of the pear, it is generally placed in the bark, not penetrating into the sap-wood.9. The moet feasible remedy for the “fire- Wight” is to destroy the leaf-hopper eggs, as soon as possible after the fall of the leaf, either by trimming off the twigs containing them, or throwing them on the ground, or by shaving off a very thin slice of the bark with a sharp kqifej wherever egg-slits are observed, so as to cnt into tha eggs. It is of no use to trim off twigs which are already blighted.
