INsEcrs 'HeuP PLANTERS.


ParasItes Promptly Oblitsrated BY I'm.
portation of Their Enemies.
Few countries have been moro plagued
by the importation Of insect pests than
tho Hawaiian Islands, 'and In. none have
such extraordinary results followed the
introduction OF beneficial species to de-
stroy them. The greatest damage has
been suffered from the invasion Of the
scale insect I'm different forms, which at
one time multiplied enormously. These
insects were eventually routed and de-
stroyed by the propagation of tho lady bird.
The two chief products m the island are
sugar and coffee, and the cultivation Of
fruit Is rapidly on the increase. All these
industries have been continually threat
ened with destruction from imported In
sects. Coffee plants were introduced into
the islands in 1895. In 1850 tho blight
was imported, and In 1866 tho cultivation
had to be abe ndoncd, to be recommended
after the lady birds had got 10 work on the
scale insects.
n. @. l.. Perkins states. that at one time
he saw tho canes on Kauia go devastated
by an aphis that II seemed as though moth
ing could save the plant from extermina-
tion. A most useful speciesof c0ccinella
was sent over from Ceylon and bred In
such numbers that the sugar canes were
soon cleared Of the aphides. ON the same
island, ON another occasion, Mr.. Perkins
saw the fruit trees, especially orange and
lime, In a beautiful garden, In a most de-
plorable condition from tho attacks of
aphides and scale. Very few ladybirds
could be found after q careful search. The
owner was for spraying the trees, but 1t
was decided to walt and give the imported
beetles chance In few weeks they
were swarming, and six months after the
infested trees were aliin perfect condition,
full Of fruit and flower.
Mr.. Perkins also relates how adestruc
tive beetle which had been accidentally in
troduced from Japan speedily multiplied
and destroyed nearly every
rose tree in Honolulu, subsequently at
tacking the foliage Of many other trees.
The cultivation Of roses, once feature of
the city, became impossible, and remedy
seemed hopeless. One day a parasitic
fungus was discovered, which by cultiva.
ton and the infection by IL of healthy
beetles was soon spread far and wide.
The ground under trees which were at.
tackled by the beetle soon became literally
strewn with dead beetles, all killed by the
fungus. Beneath the surface of the soil the
larvae likewise had perished, and now the
natives are busy again at pruning and
training their rosebushes. hes.-Pittsburg Dis |

THE SAN JOSE SCALE.

Editor Times: | notice that in your is.
sue of this morning You give somewhat
extended editorial con- ment upon cur
work in regard to the San Jose or perm
cious scale injecting Orchards. Iu this
article it is suggested. that possibly pr-
waite gardens and orchards in and around
Roanoke city may be infested as badly as
at Salem. 1t would seem that ought to
be able to make Il satisfactory statement
as to whether this is true or not, but I'M
fortunately am unable to do So 1t so
happens that no one has sent me speci-
mems from ROaGoke city DR. its immediate
vicinity and my time is so fully taken up
with the cases reported that have been
unable to personally investigate the con.
dition of fruit plants about Roanoke.
There is every probability that your sug-
gestion is In part correct, because for sew
eral years local nurserymen were selling
scale infected stock and it was also quite
largely sent into this region by outside
nurserymen. Hence / presume that any
competent person will find this scale
scattered quite generally about Roanoke
l would give especial attention to look
ing it up myself were it not that the
known cases consume all my time, and
then do not give them the attention the
great interests Mt stake Warrant.
&
sist in this work, but the legislature pro-
vides no appropriation for the enforce
ment of the inspection law and we have
no legal right to use on this work money
appropriated for other. purposes
The board of visitors Of Polytechnic
Institute give my services for this work
ana direct me to use q small sum Of
money for expenses in Investigating the
cases brought to my attention and for the
more important work of carefully in.
speeding the nurseries of the State. I do
not believe that our Stnte nurseries have
sold scale infected stock since nv an
pointment as inspector, and we are doing
all we can to see that thev shall not do
so. But there can now be no doubt that
loca! areas OF Infection eXist--all over the
State and these demand the serious tie n
lion of every fruit growing community.
The president of the Institute, DR.. Nc
Bryde, has authorized me to say that we
will cooperate with every community in
the matter of local inspection if n local
organization of some sort can be Effected
which will be able to meet the expenses
of the local inspection. Local inspec tors
would have to be appointed and governed
in their operations by us in order that
their acts might be legal.
Further information, can he obtained
from bulletins W and 66 of the expert
ment station. These can be obtained by
addressing DIR. McBryde at Blacksburg.

AN IMPORTANT MATTER.

We publish elsewhere communication
from Prof. Atwood, of Blacksburg, College
in regard to the San Jose scale, which
we'll deserves perusal. It is evident from
his observations that the scale exists in
many orchards and gardens throughout
the State and there is hardly any doubt
but that those of this locality are in
fected. The faculty of the college will
assist local inspectors in the work of
getting rid of the pests where the ex-
penses are borne by the organizations
which appoint them and when the I'm.
spectors submit entirely to their direc-
tions. n view of this fact it would be
we'll for all communities troubled by
these pests to effect a local Organization
and thus secure the cooperation of the
managers of the Polytechnic Institute
The matter is certainly serious enough to
receive prompt attention, especially when
it is remembered that when once the
scale makes it's appearance in an orchard
there is no certain way of getting rid of
the pests except by cutting.-down all the
trees
