Destroy the worm before it has time

who have settled down here should
give instructions that may help the

1t has never been charged yet that
this paper has deceived anyone. We
allow great latitude to our cores
pondents in their descriptions, and we
firmly believe that what they write
they also believe. They are often
carried away by the novelty of the
situation in which they are newly
placed, the change from the extreme
cold, from which they have just come
to the balmy air of this climate in
the Winter; but no one can read our
paper without seeing the status of the
people who dictate them, gentlemen
and ladies in every sense ofthe word,
who would scorn to deceive the pub

and show that people can live in
Florida by their own labor, and the
prospect for industrious people to
prosper.

Editor Florida Agr6cuItstrist:
Among the many places of resort
for our gentle picnicers and jovial
parties commend US to Daytons and
its enticing seashore. A small party
of our citizenship. J. III. Watkins
Mr.. o. T. Terry and son-have re-
Gently visited that place and speak
ofits manifold delights in the highest
terms. Stopping at the Palmetto
House they were bountifnlIy enter
tanned by the genial host, Col. Illus.
ton and mother and sister, in the alb
sence at the north of its kindly pro-
prietor, Mrs. Hosg. and were armed
and equipped with all needed fishing
tackle and a safe and speedy sail boat,
to try their luck among the abund-
ance of the fnny tribe. The sailing
would gladden. the heart of the
most enthusiastic aquatic sportsman;
the bathing IN the magnificent surf
was superb; the lucious biyalves se-
verely tickeled the palates of the cpl
curian DeLandites and the contem-
plative clam added it's danties to the
appetizing rations. What with de-
lightful weather, no insects, "nary"
snake and rejoicing inner man. the
party returned so elated over their
trip, that had we not known the pro-
fdndity of their centre of gravity, we
might have imagined that the festive
"hard shells" of the coast possessed
marvelously exhilarating properties.
On their way home they dined with
Mr.. Smith, to whom, as well as
to Col. Houston, they are indebted
for many kindly attentions and
neighborly courtesies.

DOES THE OLEANDER PROPA-
GATE THE SCALE INSECT?

The following remark in the South
ern Cal. Horticulturiet has set US
thinking:
"Col. Chalmers Scott, in a postal
from his farm on Rancho Buena Wis
ia, near San Louis Rey, in San Diego
county says; "By personal expert
ence and close observation of the
course pursued by others, I find that
the total destruction of the oleander
is the only specific and radical cure
for scale and fungus on orange trees"
Are we sure that the scale insect
was introduced here on newly i'm
ported orange trees? Why has it not
proved equally destructive to the or
ange groves in other places? Is there
any record of its having done so !?
We know that the naeaIy bugs have
Destroyed entirely the orange and
lemon trees, in some countries, and
we have seen oleander trees and Or
ange, lemon and lime trees, ourselves,
in the -troniGS klllod by It the Joio7
ander trees especially, are very sub
ject to the attacks of the insect, but
we never met a case Of this insect out
of Florida. 1t is frequently men
toned by writers on the citrus but
not as wholesale destroyer. We
have seen the oleander bushes in the
city of Jacksonville, and other parts
of the State, killed by the scale, and
they are likewise common on the
cape jessamine and does it not seem
that we have been entirely mistaken
about the introduction of this pest.
May it not have been brought here on
other plants that were imported at
the same time, and meeting the young
orange trees that were just growing
up, after the freeze, spread to them
The scale insect has evidently been
introduced into California on the or
ange trees sent from here. In late
number Of our paper in an article
headed Spotted Fruit" Mr.. Pril-
lieux says that diseases of fruit and
plants are often propagated by gratis.
We are getting these every day into
this State and it shows how necessa-
ry it is that we should be cautious,
examining what we get and killing
out the first appearance of any new
enemy. If the oleander and cape
jessamine are subject more than any
others, to the scale insect, are we
wise in growing them near our
groves ? Will some of our reflective
correspondents give some attention to
this subject and let us have the bene-
fit of their observations

Work for August.

Citrus trees can still be budded.
They make new growth at the end
of the month; when you do bud do so
with the approved varieties This is
the best month for girdling trees, to
kill them. The advantage of dead
ening, as it is called, is that the land
is much cheaper cleaned up. Plant
out sweet potatoes, and weed out
and draw up those that are more ad-
vanced. Plant COW peas in the early
part of the month, and Irish potatoes
from native seed. Sow turnips, ruta
baga, cabbage, caulifower and eel
cry, but the young plants must be
protected from the heat of the sun.
Prune Scuppernong grapes in the
early part of the month and lay
those that you intend for new plants.
We may expect some stormy wealth
er this month and anything that may
be injured by K.h' windssh should be
proteltade@f7 / ~ A4l}A@r-tiFsffs
month that w tend to give the Or
ange trees late new growth, as the
tender limbs are liable to be killed
by early frost.

ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS.

H. r., A Key West subscriber,
asks, GLOW can best preserve pine
trees from rotting, after their tops
have been sawed off" To this we
answer that the objection to keeping
pine stumps has been that the roots
are infested with white lice which
breed in the bark when it begins to
rot. The lice do not confne their
attacks to the pine, but spread to the
neighboring trees and vines, which
they destroy. Many fine grove has
been injured by them. If HI. r.
however, would dig around the
stumps, removing the earth to some
depth, and then burning off the bark,
until the wood is charred, they would
last long time, but he must also
protect the stump above ground, for
that is the part that decays first, I'M
less it is lightwood.

W. G. F., of Keysville, near Tam

best way to have orange trees sent
here. whether by way of Jackson
vile and Cedar Keys and Tampa or
across the country. 1 am on the
Washington line about 25 miles from

ANS. 1t depends upon what your
facilities are for hauling and where
you are getting yonr trees from. IF
from the st. Johns river, they can be
shipped up the Ocklawahs river to
some available place in Sumpter
county, and not be very much farther
from you than Tampa. If, however,
1t is more convenient to haul from
