Red Scale on Oranpes

One of the most troublesome and mn.
slightly pests orange growers have to
deal with at present is the red scale.
which up to this time, we understand.
is wholly confined to that portion Of
California south of the Tehachapi
Pass, says the California Fruit Grower.
AS the red scale matches out in the month
OF May we are curious to learn whether
the growers in Southern California
took prompt and necessary measures to
keep this scale in check with the view
OF ultimately exterminating it. From
personal observation we find that a
large percentage of the oranges offered
for sale in San Francisco is literally
covered with this unsightly pest.
Growers who desire to realize having
prices for their oranges should give the
red scale more of their time and atten-
ton. From experience we learn that
the public do not care to purchase scaly
oranges, and are pretty sure to refuse
TO invest second time in this class of
fruit. A scaly brand is soon spotted
and is given the Ego by" ever after.
President Lincoln wisely said, lyon
can fool all the people some of the
tlme, and you can fool some of the
people all the time, but you cannot
TOOL all the people all the time" This
Is an excellent quotation for fruit
growers to paste in their hats and
quietly study while packing fruit for
market.

OF an inch of plaster of Paris, which in

made to hold various weights from one

Crater blight.

Professor G. w. Woodwork, of the
State University. says of new disease
which he is pleased to term the Crater
Blight of Pears
Crater blight first appears as a
darkened spot, indistinguishable from
any other form of blight Like other
olghts, 1t commonly begins at the
point ON a branch where twig is
given off, or where one has been.
There is this difference, however, the
crater blight extnds out only below the
point of origin. whereas in other
olights, the disease often extends up-
ward as well.
The most characteristic feature of
this blight is the sharp line of denmark
alton between the dead and the live
bark. When u spot has ceased to
spread. there occurs a break in the
bark, separating the diseased portion
This soon dries and the spot appears
like crater. This appearance is most
striking when isolated spots are seen
ON the larger branches.
As far as know, cutting ont the
dead and diseased tissue is the only
treatment which has been tried. This
Is useful in two ways: First, the tree
Is thus encouraged to replace the dis.

eased part by new wood, and second,
the sOurcebf infection is reduced. In
addition q this, the use of Bordeaux
mixture a preventive measure should
be thoroughly tried. The disease will
doubtless spread TO some extent, in
spite of be most conscientious use of
the Bordeaux mixture; but with it one
should beable to hold il well in check,
so that the amount of pruning of the
diseased parts that must be done will
not seriously injure the tree. The
wash mag be applied when the first
signs of the disease appear, and i'm
mediateg after pruning.

More About RhIzobius,

A petition is being circulated among
the orchardists of the Ojai valley re-
/ questing the Board of Supervisors to
call the attention of the State Horti-
cultural Commission to the fact that
there are in this locality a number of
olive orchards badly affected with
black scale, and to ask the Commission
to take proper steps to remedy the
evil, says the Nordhetf Ojai. The
petition should be signed by every
fruitgrower in the Ojai.
1t is evident that some very radical
method must be found to exterminate
the pest. 1t is also clear that the Rhi.
zoblus is not equal to the ask. When
the lady-bird was introduced into the
valley 1T was proclaimed that we had
secured an ally which, alone and single
handed, would speedily remove the
pest from our orchards. For time

say the Marysville Appeal. This prep
aration is very cheaply and easily
made as follows: Dissolve one pound
OF hard soap in a gallon of water and
heat to boiling, When boiling hot
remove from the fire, and add two
gallons of kerosene and with force
pump or egg beaten, agitate the mix
ture as violently as possible for a few
minutes. when all should become a
white creamy mass. If the emulsion
does not form regularly, set the i'm
perfectly emulsitied mixture back over
the fire until it is boiling hot, when
1t should be quickly removed and agi.
tated again, and there will be no
trouble TO form the emulsion. As the
soapy and oily mixture will soon boil
over when it gets hot. great care should
be taken to watch it every minute so
as to avoid an accident by fire. 1t is
best to do this work out of doors.
When the emulsion is made add to it
twenty-seven gallons of water before
1T gets cold, and then it is ready for
use. This, it will be seen, requires one
pound of soap and two gallons of the
emulsion. This substance may be used
against almost any soft-bodied insect,
and is especially etfectual in destroying
plant lice and also all scale insects. +"

the result seems disappointing. While
few of the insects and their larvae
are to be found, they are not at present
in sufficient numbers TO be effective.
However, when the young scale hatch
out and furnish abundant food the
rhizobius may come out in sufficient
numbers to revive the hopes once en-
tertained forthem.
In opposition Co the above very Door
value placed upon the insects, is the
action Of the San Bernardino commits

the orchards of that county with rhizo-

best things to do away with the black
scale.
While the report of Mr.. Ravens was
being read at the Board meeting, Su.
previsor Edmiston remarked that he
placed about one-third of a colony of
the rhizobius on some olive trees ON
his place which We're literally alive

placed there last August, and this past
spring the trees were examined and
found to be almost entirely free from
scale.
