gramme for this morning is that on
entomology and the members ofthat com
mittee are not present.
Mr. BIELBY.-It seems to me that a re-
port of this meeting without report OF
the citrus committee would look bad.
The question of growing the ci rus fruits
is most important to many OF us, and
the insects affecting the citrus should
certainly be discussed We should hear
of the successes in fighting them and also
OF some of the failures | had letter
from Mr.. Williams OF Rock Ledge a men,
Der of the committee. He sail the scale
was making Roadway in the Indian
River country for the first time. / be-
lieve some new methods Of fighting the
scale insect have been in use during the
last year or two, and | would like to
hear about them | would like to hear
about the soft scale which is followed by
the black smut, and would like to know
some way of fighting ECONOMICALLY and
effectualIy wish Mr. Phelps would say
something.
Mr.. BEAM wish to ask the question
as to whether the red scale known SO
largely in California has ever made it's
appearance here. 1t was reported in
1881 as having been found near Orlando.
Can any one give us information as to
this?
Mr.. PHELPs.-I have never seen it here.
The long scale is probably better known
than any other.
Mr. BEAN.-COmstock's Report in 1881
reported the red scale at Orlando, and
what | want to know is whether it is yet
there, or has it disappeared?
Mr.. PHELPs.-I doubt if what Mr. Com
stock reported as the red scale was any
scale at ALL | think it was the fungus
growth after the scale, which was not it.
self scale. / saw what was called the
white cOttOny scale here several years ago,
but it was not white cottOny scale at all.
put sulphate of soda and arsenic of lime
together and used it with water put
that on and spread it with direct spray
from very powerful force pump. 1t was
powerful enough to throw stream of
water thirty feet out Of 1872 inch hole
without breaking. 1t took everything
from off thetrees. Last year in August |
saw large hedges perfectly covered with
it. have seen it in the highest mount
aims Of Massachusetts. Thatis all know
Of the cOttony scale. DR.. Moore was the
first who called my attention to it sever
al years ago. do not believe it could
exist under the atmosphere we have here.
/ would add further that for the last year
we have been under the best possible con
ditiOns for insects to propagate here.
Down at my place | have had by actual
measurement since the Goth day OF Sep
TENDER 1 .27 inches fall Of water. There
has never been moisture enough to hurt
the most delicate insects on the leaves
They have had it their own way. In
moist places where have never seen any
scale on trees before | have seen it appear
this season. Two or three varieties of
lady bugs are thicker than | ever saw
them before, and they will take care of
the scale, think, ii left to themselves.
Mr.. BEAM should like to ask whether
here arc 0nV VArint los Of tho Ia1V buo,
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1890-05-07


Mr.. BIELBY. What effect upon the lady
bug does an application of emulsion
have?
Mr.. MEAD think the emulsion has
no effect on the lady bug. Carbolic acid
sprayed on the trees l think would cause
the lady bug to go to some other tree
where there was no carbolic acid.
Mr.. BIELBY.-There is a question that
[ would like to have answered by Mr.
Mead. Whether ii tree has considera-
bic scale, and if the lady bugs are there,
too, whether it is worth mans while to
spray that tree?
Mr.. MEAD think that every case
would have to he decided uponits merits.
Ii the scale was given up to the lady bugs
then the emulsion would be of assistance
in reducing their food supply, and the
lady bugs would have to hunt around
and find more.
Mr.. BIELBY.-It is very difficult for an
unprfoessional man to tell how badly
tree is infested with scale because after
the scale has passed a certain point it is
| difficult to tell how much life there is un-
| der it, A tree looks to be in terrible
state of scale sometimes when there are
no live ones on it at all.
Mr.. MEAD.-In that case would advise
watching the lady bug few minutes and
seeing which ones they picked out to eat
The balance would be dead. There is also
another little insect called the Ichneumon
fly that eats SCALE Heeats the scale out
from under the shell and then puts the
shell on his back.
Mr. PHELPs.-Each lady bug will eat
more than aiull grownfy. See how many
thousands of them there are. 1t seems
to me that within the last week they have
increased four fold. [ do not think
after they get to work that the scale in
creases as fast as they do.
Mr.. ADAMs.-In my groves for the past
six years have relied entirely upon the
lady bug to take care of the scale. o.
casiOnally there would be tree where the
scale wOulG get started before the lady
bug found them, and when the lady bugs
did find them they would take care of
them before they had done any serious
damage. The only place where the scale
can do any material damage is on some
young tree where the scale will start out
and spread all over it before any lady
bug has time to colonize, but where they
have time to colonize | think the lady
bug will do away with them I do not
think have tree Oh the place that has
any scale.
Mr.. MEAD.-Very often when trees are
scaley and also when they are infested
with the lady bug they are pruned. If
the prunings are burned up Immediately
you will loose the young lady bugs The
young scale haveno way getting around
except by crawling, and crawling over
this hot Florida sand has to be done bv
degrees, and il the brush is piled up a lew
fe"t away there is no danger of theyo
scale getting back to the tree, but the
lady bug, in time, will return.
Mr.. PHELPS.-It has been my custom
to haul the brush away from my pecan
trees just as soon as it is cut off. had

Mr.. BIELBY.-I would like to ask the
orange growers what is their experience
about kerosene emulsion. | find lately
that it has injured the trees where it has
been put ON with the greatest care. 1t
has injured not only the foliage but the
new wood and some Of the old wood. 1t
only goes to show that an experience can
not be founded in one or two years in the
use of any kind of wash for the scale in
sects. / presume it was want OF powe.
in the trees TO resist the effect OF the kero-
sene oil. [ had one hundred tangerine
trees that were set out, and | gave them
wash of kerosene emulsion and | know
that those trees were so badly injured,
Chat was year ago., that q great
many of them have not recovered yet.
Mr.. PHELPs.-Might it not have been
owing to the condition OF things, that
the weather was dry, and that the men
wanted to besure and do q good job and
so got on too much, or that they were
kept longer at it than necessary? If it
is continued on a few seconds too long
you will get on too much.
Mr. BIELBY.-It is very possible that
was the case.
Mr.. Manu. would like to ask how the
scale is conveyed from one tree to an
other.
Mr.. MEAD.-The books say that birds
are very largely instrumentalin carrying
the colonies. When the young hatch
they are very lively and they get on the
legs Of the birds when they perch on a
tree and when they light on another
tree carry them with them. They will
also get on spider webs and on moss and
in fact on any thing that passes from one
tree to the otherand will carry theyoung
scale.
Mr.. BIELBY.-It seems to me that they
do not have to get from one tree to an
other, but that they are already.thpre.
Mr.. MEAD.-We can not wonder at this
rapid increase as one scale will start a
colony by laying one or two hundred
eggs.
| have a very favorable place for a
vegetable garden and | have planted
seven or eight times this year but the
crickets came along and ate the vege-
tables. What shall do for them?
Mr.. BIELBY.-Ihave always killed them
with insect powder / take the insect
powder and blow it in their holes with a
10 cent bellows. know the little gentle
man and am we'll acquainted with him.
He is not able to abide the Persian insect
powder. | wish it had the same effect on
the cut worm, but it doesn't disturb him
at all.
Mr. PHELPs.-He don t breathe thesame
way.
Mr.. MEAD have seen in the papers
that if you will cut up clover and mix it
with Paris green where they can get it
that twill kill them.
Mr.. BEAN.-Judge Vann, of Tallahassee,
says that if you will put the China berry
around the plants it will keep off the cut
worm. Just scatter them around the
plant that you are trying to protect and
it will be protected.
