Orchardists Face New Menace
A dangerous agricultural blight has hit nearly every orchard in the Highlands, prompting an urgent call for collective intervention.
Inspector Luke Powell was on the Highlands the first of the week looking after fire blight, which has made its appearance in nearly every orchard in the vicinity. Fire blight is the worst menace that orchardists have to face and everyone having the care of trees should immediately get in touch with Inspector Powell and learn of precautionary measures for healthy trees as well as correct surgery for affected trees.
“Fire blight is the worst menace that orchardists have to face.”
Orchards remain the economic heartbeat of Kennewick, and the struggle to protect crops from pests and disease is a constant challenge for modern growers, just as it was for those in 1916.
