ATHENS-The City of
Palestine and Anderson
County was notified by
Sanderson Farms of their
intent to build a poultry
complex in the region on
Thursday, Feb. 14.
Sanderson Farms plans
to build three facilities in the
area, two of which will be
located in Anderson
County and one in Free-
stone County. The com-
pany will invest approxi-
mately $92 million on the
construction of a hatchery
and processing plant that
will be located in Ander-
son County and an addi-
tional $32 million on the
feed mill in Freestone
County. Once the hatch-
ery and processing plant is
open, the company ex-
pects to employ up to
1,000 people.
The expected produc-
tion area includes a 50 mile
radius from the city of Pal-
estine; consequently this
area includes the majority
of Henderson County. In-
terested landowners will
have the opportunity to
explore diversifying their
operations as this endeavor
matures.

Fire blight
In early April, many
people began noticing
dead twigs in their flower-
ing pear trees. The twigs
look like they have been
scorched with a blow
torch. The ends of tender
new growth curls, looking
like the crook of a
shepherd’s staff. The
blackened leaves cling to
the blighted twigs. These
are the classic symptoms
of fire blight.
Fire blight is one of the
worst bacterial diseases of
pears and apples, since it
is capable of killing trees
of susceptible varieties.
Many edible pears and
apples are very susceptible
to fire blight and easily
contract the disease, and
is thus one of the factors
limiting their production in
our area. Many ornamen-
tal plants are also attacked,
including ornamental or
flowering pear, crabapple,
quince, pyracantha, coto-
neaster and hawthorn.
The symptoms on apple
and crabapples are slightly
different than on pears. In-
stead of blackened leaves
and shoots, apple leaves
turn brown.
Requirements for
Disease
Fire blight requires a
certain set of circum-
stances to occur in order
for the disease to take
place. This includes a
warm period prior to and
during bloom and rain dur-
ing bloom. When condi-
tions are favorable for bac-
terial growth, populations
can develop rapidly. At 70
degrees, bacterial numbers
double every 20 minutes,
becoming billions in less
than a day. Each bacterium
is capable of causing an in-
fection!
It appears environmen-
tal conditions were just
right this year during the
pear blooming season.
However, I’ve seen some
of ornamental pears that
appear to be fine.
The bacterium overwin-
ters in cankers, or dead
areas, on twigs and limbs.
In the spring, the bacteria
in the cankers become ac-
tive and an ooze contain-
ing bacteria will emerge
which attracts various
types of insects. These in-
sects carry bacterium to
blooms, and then honey-
bees visiting the flowers
pick up the bacterium and
pass it to other blooms,
continuing the spread of
the disease.
The bacterium can also
be spread by hard, driving
rain, and it will infect plants
through wounds caused by
hail, insects and fresh prun-
ing cuts.
Besides rainfall, other
environmental conditions
and cultural practices that
can promote fire blight de-
velopment include excess
moisture, high rates of ni-
trogen, and excessive
pruning. Anything that pro-
motes rapid and soft, suc-
culent growth will make
that tissue more suscep-

tible to infection.
If your trees are show-
ing symptoms pruning is
one method of reducing the
source of future infections.
Whether to prune now or
later partly depends on the
age and size of the tree. If
you have a very small,
young tree showing symp-
toms, further spread of the
disease could seriously
damage the tree. So, re-
moval of infected growth
should be done now.
For older, larger trees,
or plants with only a few
infections, it may be better
to wait until later in sum-
mer when all the new
growth has hardened, and
stimulating new growth
through pruning is not as
likely.
It is very important
when pruning to remove
the affected portions sev-
eral inches below any signs
of canker on the shoots.
Look carefully on the af-
fected shoots for cankers
which will appear sunken,
shriveled, and are often
elongated, progressing
downward from the dead
shoot tissue.
Pruning equipment
should be dipped in a 10
percent bleach solution for
two seconds to prevent
spreading the bacterium
from one cut to another. To
prevent the bleach from
corroding your tools, clean
and wipe them with a light
oil at the end of the day.
Affected trees can be
treated with a copper fun-
gicide or antibiotics, but
only during the blooming
period. More than one
treatment is usually
needed, especially if
blooming is prolonged.
Sprays at other times of the
year other than blooming
are ineffective.
