Collections Hard.

At the meeting of the Staunton Chamber
OF Commerce, last week, in conversation
al review of the state of trade in the town.
nearly every merchant present gave it as his
experience, that the demands made by the
assessments of the various new enterprises
and the general activity in the direction of
stock companies, made current bills very
slow to collect. The new companies form
ing, and new assessments to follow, do not
give the merchants any promise of speedy
relief from this complaint.

which has been forwarded to the United
Cfofao ,nSnactor

which has been forwarded to the United
States inspector.
Upon his return to the cars Captain
Gray quarantined all the Florida inn
ported stock for two weeks and ordered
that the Walker & Co. importations be
subjected to the gas treatment inside OF
two days He also ordered that all the
leaves and rubbish found in the car be
burned Immediately.
1t was afterwards ascertained that
leaves had been scattered by the wind,
and half mile away leaf was picked
up which was found to be covered with
scale.
After the stock which was inspected
has stood for two weeks it will again be
inspected and if scale is still found to
exist the trees will be confiscated and
burned.
When it became known that the trees
were so badly infested, the fruit-growers
decided to call meeting under the
auspices of the Board of Trade for to-
morrow afternoon, to take action toward
the formation of a society to protect the
fruit interests, and to see that the quar-
antine laws are carried out.
Captain Gray has notified the railroad
companies not to accept stock from any
point in Florida, but there were some
cars on the way when the order was
given. Messrs. Gulick, Walker and
Packard have agreed to disinfect and to
comply with the law in every particular.
The following telegram has been re-
ceived by G. M. Heintz from B. M. Le-
long, secretary of the State Horticul-
tural Society: 'I leave for Florida next
week to investigate the scale question
oil or nl-c hpInO
imported into the State. Will also look
up parasites wherever citrus trees are
grown. l believe orchardists should
grow their own stock rather than import
trees from an infected State. The risk
is too great. One infected tree among a
million clean ones is sufficient to stock
California with pest that as yet no
remedy has exterminated. l hope the
most vigorous measures will be adopted
to prevent the introduction of any such
pests. B. M. LELoNG."

IMPORTED SCALE-BUGS.
The Result of an Inspection of Trees
at Pomona.


The fruit growers of Pomona were
considerably excited yesterday by the
arrival of three carloads of scale-infected
orange trees consigned to Gulick Bros,
Walker & Co. and Capt. Driffiill. These
cars were on the way when a quarantine
against Florida imported stock was de-
clared and their arrival was expected,
consequently Horticultural Commits
sioner Capt. Gray, of Alhambra, and K.
p. Waite, p. J. Dreher and G. M.
Heintz, commissioners of the Pomolog-
ical Society, were on the spot early yes
terday to inspect the new importations.
It was found that the car for Capt. Dritfill
had not been left in Pomona, but had been
forwarded to some place not yet known.
The commissioners inspected the trees,
and found the carload of 5000 trees con-
signed to Walker & Co. infected with
the following scale: Florida red scale,
purple scale, long scale and chaff scale.
The $500 trees consigned to Gulick
Bros. were found to be covered with
purple scale and long scale. Before
further inspection, Mr.. Packard, who is
the consignee of the Walker & Co. car,
took Captain Gray and H. W. Kruke-
berg, editor of the Rural Californian, to
show them the Florida trees which had
been subjected year ago to, the gas
treatment. These were found appar-
emily free from scale, but special COM
mittee that visited the grove OF Seth
Richards, one of the largest around Po-
mona, found on the first tree inspected
the purple scale. This tree had been
brought to Pomona from Florida about
a year ago and planted ffter going
through dipping process, nple o.
