No Commission for Cuba.

Cuban belllgerency would be an advan-
tage to the cubans, In this we agree
with them, although an effort has been
made to show that Cuba would profit
nothing by recognition and would lose
n great deal.
The Cuban question should be deter
mined by this country from It's own
point of view. giving no heed TO any
thing the spnnlards may say. The
spaniards are not likely to urge us to do
anything that will help the cubans.
They are engaged in an effort to sub
due or wipe out the Cubans, and II mis-
representation may help them they will
not hesitate to resort to that,
We understand the situation well
enough to know that brave neIgnbors Of
ours are fighting to free their country
from oppression. Our sympHthIcs are
with them and our interest is on the
side OF our sympathy. The country is
urging the President to act. and that is
what he should do without more delay.

A NEW rRuIr rREE pEsr


.ary to Prevent It's sprcad-Ths San
jose Scale.
To the Editor of the IntolllgencerN
sIR:-Last spring notice was sent
from the experimental station to all Of
the newspapers In the state, warning
farmers and fruit growers OF the dam
ger OF introducing into West virginia,
the San Jose scale and other fruit
tree pests on fruit trees from New jer-
sey nurseries. We have now TO an
nounce that Il has been introduced In
this monner, and Is becoming estnb-
lIshed in at least three sections of the
state; namely, in Monongalla county,
near Georgetown, in Brooke county,
near welIsbuFg; and In Berkeley coun-
~, near Martinsburg. Information OBJ
talned} from the parties sending In
tested specimens from these localities,
shows that the scale was introduced in
the spring of 1894. on fruit trees from
the nurseries Of William Parry. OF
Parry, n. j.
II Is OF the utmost Importance. there.
fore, that every one in the state should
make a thorough examination OF the
trees, 10 determine whether or not the
scale is present.
The San Jose scale is a minute, waxy,
dandrufI- like scale. adherlng to the
bark on the branches and twigS OF the
infested trees on trees that are badly
infested teh twIgs have a dirty APP
pearRnCe, us II covered With ashes. Up
on close examination with n magnify
ing glass the smaller scales will be
found to have a dark eye-like spot in
the center Of the upper surface, While
the larger ones will have light or
bright golden spot In the same posi-
ton.
This Is one OF the worst fruit tree
pests known, and IT'S appearance IN the
localities mentioned and doubtless IN
other sections liz n menace to the fruit
Industry OF the state. II anything Us
found that resembles the above de-
scription, specimens of the infested
twigs should he sent ut once 30 the
experiment station for authentic iden-
tidcatIOn, and II on examination II
proves 10 be the true San Jose scale. a
circular letter will be forwarded TO the
sender and to his county papers. giving
full instructions for the application OF
the best known remedies for the de-
struction OF the pest.
The presence Of this insect In West
Virginia should receive he'pronpt AT
tention of everyone who Is in amy way
interested In the future welfare or the
fruit Industry OF the state.
BY prompt action upon the part OF
the owners of infested trees and trees
that are In danger OF being infested
the scale. can be kept in check with
comparative little expense and loss, II
neglected. enormous loss will result ana
the pest will get beyond control.
