Immediately after the freeze DR.. S.
Stringer Of BroOksville determined on
asceriaining what effect the freeze had
on the scale insect. He obtained a few
good specimens Of infected parts Of trees
and sent them on 10 Washington. He re-
ceiNed a report this week 10 the effect
that most Of the scale insect was dead,
but that a part OF the scale and some
eggs were still very much alive. Those Of
the scale which were alive were all fe-
males, which will themselves lay more
eggs. He figures IL out that these will
hatch out in April. Therefore. by spray
ing just when the eggs are Matching and
the scale Is on the move, the last yes
tige Of it can be destroyed, and the pest
perhaps got rid of forever.
