attend to it. If you find that you have

known for fear your trees will be de-
stroyed, for the scale will destroy them

1 was at Blacksburg, Va, last week
and visited a three. year-old apple
orchard that had scale. There were
three trees that had scale on them
when planted, and it had already
killed them. The Entomologist was
canvasaing the entire State, and he
told me that they had the scale pretty
well under their control, having en-
tirely stamped it out in many places,
but were continually finding it in new
places. He also told M that he had
traced the Introduction Of the San Jose
Scale 10 several States, both North and
South, but in nc cas had he traced 1t
to a North Carolina nursery, and we
sell large numbers of trees In that State
and some nurseries, to my knowledge,
have continued the sale for the past
thirty years. I believe our State nur
series are clear, yet they should be IN,
spected regularly as a precaution. The
greater danger is it's spreading from
small orchards from different parts or
most all over our State. So the atten
ton of our State Pest Commission
should be drawn in that direction with
a determination t 10 stamp it out of our
borders, or be found trying to do so.
Yours truly,
J. VAN LINDLEY.

correspondence Of the Progressive Farmer.
POMONA, N. O., Sept Is 1897.
Remembering your invitation to me
TO write an article on the San Jose
Scale, l think IG now about time one
should appear.
l have visited quite a number of
States during the past spring and sum-
mer, and have met and talked with
quite a good many fruit men from diff
terent parts of America and find sew
eral States that have similar laws to
ours, some more severe, while other
States are drafting laws which will be
enacted at the meeting Of the first
legislature in their States.
All fruit growers are realizing the
great danger there is in the dreaded
pest, San Jose Scale, as it spreads go
rapidly 1t has been brought into our
State on fruit trees from nurseries
both North and South OF our State, and
has been found in Buncombe, Hender
son, Wake, Pitt, Moore and Duplin
counties. In every place it has been
traced to nurseries outside of our State
by Prof. Mccarthy, Jul State Eoto
mologist. He made only two short
trips, n east and n west of Raleigh.
We had the scale destroyed where
found, but can't say how perfectly it
has been done. Ihave no doubt but that
it is in many, yes. many other places
in North Carolina, az our Eatomologiet
could not visit all the places in the
State, unless he devoted his entire
time to it. Prof. Massey is our present
Entomologist. He ia competent, we
cRn'S doubt that, but he can only in
gpecE the nurseries of the State, which
is about all he can do, as we all know
his duties at the A & 81. College.
Now the State should be thoroughly
examined by Prof. Massey or some
competent entomologist, in winter, as
soon as the leaves fall, as the scale can
be detected better when leaves are off.
This scale is certainly the most dan,
gerous insect pest that has ever me
naced the fruit industry Of North Caro-
lima, and it is much to be deplored,
that it should be looked at for a mo.
ment as anything less.
Reader, look after your fruib trees
and shrubbery, and if you find minute
grayIsh looking scale on the bodies or
limos, Oh anything of the kind locking
suspicious, you may have the San Jose
Scale In this connection I wish 70
Gall your attention to the vital import
ance Of sending to Prof. Massey, Agri-
cultural College, Raleigh, N. c., any
suspicious looking insect found on your
trees or shrubbery. You can cut q

How shall we train and mature the
