SAN JOSE" SCRLEIN NEW YORK
From the New York Press.

From the New York Press.
T ITHACA, Sept. 24.-Last Sunday
afternoon as two Cornell scientists
were walking out Ninth avenue in
the neighborhood of Ninetieth
street, New York city, one Of them
suddenly stopped to examine the shrubs
by the wayside. In a moment he ut
tered an exclamation. He had made a
discovery which will be of the greatest
Importance to the lovers of trees in the
metropolis-it was that dreaded pest,
the San Jose scale.
1t has been known for some time by
entomologists and nurserymen that the
San Jose scale infests certain parts of
New Jersey and Long Island, but never
before has 1t been discovered in New
York city. Unless the spread of the
pest is arrested there the beautiful
vegetation in Central Park will in few
years become either permanently in
jured or totally destroyed.
1t was H. P Gould, assistant in the
College of Agriculture at Cornell, who
is also one Of the State inspectors APP
pointed to look for the San Jose scale
in the vicinity of New York, who dis
covered the insect near Central Park
last Sunday. After finding the traces
tigation and discovered. not only the
shrubbery on the streets Of the city
but the trees of Central Park are more
or less infected with the scourge. 1t is
estimated that it viii take three years
work under g resident inspector to
eradicate the pest from New York city,
even if the work were started immedi-
ately. The scale has been found also
within the last few days in nurseries in
Flushing and BronXVille.
The most efficient method of eradi-
eating this pest is said to be a mixture
made with two pounds of whale oil
soap and one gallon Of water.
OF this notorious insect, which feeds
upon the life blood Of fruit and other
trees, Professor Roberts, director of the
college Of Agriculture at Cornell, said
TINS year, in addressing the Commits
sloners OF Agriculture at Albany: Per
maps no subject connected with fruit
growing requires more careful study
and investigation at the present time
than this pest, which has already Sc
cured a firm foothold in many localities.
Unless some means can be found for
arresting It's spread and of graduating
1t where II has already appeared the
fruit industry Of New York, which now
brings many millions Of income to the
farmers, will have to be largely aban-
doned."
An authority upon this subject re-
