NEW FRUIT TREE PEST In w. VA.
Prompt Action Necessary to Prevent
Its Spread.
Special correspondence OF The ARGUS.
b. THE SAN JOSE SCALE


THE SAN JOSE SCALE.
Last spring notice was sent
from the Experiment State to all
OF the newspapers IN the State.
warning farmers and fruit growers
OF the danger OF Introducing into
West Virginia the San Jose Scale
and other fruit tree pests from the
nurseries of New Jersey. We have
now 20 announce that ID has been
introduced in this maDner and il
being established in at least three
sections Of the State; namely, in
monongalla county near George.
town; IN Brooke county near Wells.
burg. and in Berkeley county near
Martlnsburg. Information obtained
from the parties sending infested
specimens from these localities,
shows that the scale was intro
duced in the spring of 1894 on
fruit trees from the nurseries of
William Parry. Parry. N. j. 1t is
OF the utmost Importance, there
fore, that every one in the State
should make a thorough examina-
ticn OF his trees to determine
whether or not the scale is present.
The San Jose Scale is a minute,
wary, dandruff-like scale, adheripg
to the bark on tho branches and
twigs OF the infested trees. On
trees that are badly infested the
twlgs have a dirty appearance, as il
covered with ashes. Upon close ex
animation with a magnifyine 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
position.
This is one of the worst fruit
tree pests known, and its appear
ance in the localities mentioned,
and doubtless in other sections, rs a
menace to the fruit industry of he
State. If anything is found that
embles the above description,
specimens OF the infested twigs
should be sent AT ONCE to the Elk
pertinent Station for authentic
identification, and if on examIna
tlon 1T proves to be the true San
Jose Scale, circular letter will be
forwarded to the sender and to his
county papers, giving full instruc
tons for the application of the best
known remedies for the destruction
OF the pest. Tne presence of this
insect in West Virginia should re-
ceive the prompt attention of every
one who is in aRY way interested in
The future welfare of the fruit In
dustry 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 i'm
check with comparatively little ex.
pense and loss. If neglected, enor-
nous loss will result and the pest
will get beyond control.

The people of this community
are looking after grass seed and

menced blowing.

it. Professor

ITALIAN DEFEAT IN AFRICA.


The Italian army in Abyssinia
met terrible defeat last week at
the hands of the war like Shoans
under old King Menelek. The
Italian government has been trying
to conquer that part Of the east
coast of Africa and gobble up u
part OF the country, as all the Eu
ropean nations are doing. Each
Que afraid that the other will get
ahead of them aud annex some gold
or diamond district that will yield
rich returns, like that of South
Africa. A large army has / IN
stationed in Massowah under com
mand of Gen. Baratieri, and the
first Of last week the army moved
into the enenIys country to- attack
them in three divisions under Gen.
Albertane, Gen. Arimondi and Gen.
Dabosmida. The dusky warriors
pretended to retreat till they lured
the Italians into the mountain
passes leading to Adowa, the Capt.
tai Of Tigre. Then they fell upon
the Dagoes like million of brick
and killed them by the thousands.
The Shoans were armed with i'm
proved rifles and some artillery and
plenty of ammunition, and fought
from cover like our American In
dams. They rolled huge rocks
down the mountain sides, crushing
the soldiers in the trap, where they
had but little chance to defend
themselves, and were compelled to
retreat. The savages rushed on
them and shot them down without
mercy. The troops became panic
stricken and threw down their
arms aud ran for dear life, with the
enemy in pursuit cutting them
down for miles. The officers tried
hard to rally their men, and most
of them were killed and from five
to ten thousand of the soldiers. IL
has been impossible so far to find
out the exact number. There has
been great excitement In Italy ever
since and rioting all over the king
dom. The people are wild over it
and blame the government for al
loving thO-soldiers trapped to death.
and don't want any more sent
there. All the reserve force has
been called out to quiet the dis.
turbance, aud the kingdom is tot
tering on its throne.

AT HER OLD TRICKS
Mrs. Belle FreeIand Again Under
Arrest For Raising Bills.

opeciai correspondence of THE ARGUE
TERRA ALTA, March 9.-Mrs.
Judson FreeIand was arrested here
to-day by United States detective
Tor passing raised bills and taken
to Clarksbnrg Tor a bearing. She
has passed three of the bills in
Grafton and Fairmont, raised from
~ to $50. She is the same woman
arrested at Chicago in December.
1893, with her husband for the
same ohense. They were tried In
March, 1894, and sentenced to
three years each in the Illinois State
prison at Joliet, but Mrs. Freeland
was pardOned by President Cleve
land IN December, 1894, and re
turned to this place, where she has
been living ever since.
Her house was searched TODAY
and a great deal of calico, lacrs and
lewelry were found, which had been
bought by this money. The hus.
band Is still In the Slate prison AT
Joliet. His term will expire March
next. The wife gavo birth to "a
child while in prison, and this
helped get her out, as the baby
created sympathy, and the baby act
helped her out that time, but If she
is found guilty of the same offense
so soon again, it will likely go hard
with her and the "baby act" will
hardly win again.
