owns large fruit ranch near Penryn in this
county, has been introducing the two

said to be a very thorough and efficient
remedy tor the San Jose scale. The scale
lives on the tree and the lady bug lives on
scale. 1t is said that whole orchards in the
San Jose valley have been entirely cleared
of the pest that threatened their destruc-
ton by this little bug. In one case a
| twenty-acre orchard had been abandoned
to the SCALE the owner having despaired of
remedy. The lady bug came along and
attacked the scale in that orchard in one
year it had much improved, and in Two

ever was.
