THE SAN JOSE SCALE
oHacisI Experiments Have Proved
That 1t Cannot Survive the Proc
ess Of Drying traits.

The agricultural department has just
completed n series OF experiments
which prove the falsity of the claims
made by several European governments
upon which American fruits have been
excluded from their markets. The ex-
port of American fruits is very extern
sive, says American Gardening, and
has suffered great loss through the I'M
called-for restrictions imposed by va
rious DEGREES which have al one time
or another shut out our fruits from for
eign markets. The last experiment,
which was witnessed by an expert OF
the German government, was con-
Quoted for the purpose of determining
whether the San Jose scale, found in
pears, apples and peaches in various
parts Of the country, could survive the
process of drying fruits, That 1t does
not survive is abundantly proven. The
effort to shut our fruits out OF Eu-
ropean markets began with Germany
in February last, when that govern
ment prohibited all plants, fruits, dried
fruits, parts of plants, and even the
boxes and packing in which they were
shipped, on account of the alleged pres
ence of the San Jose scale. Subse-
uuently fruits were relieved from the
embargo, subject TO an inspection by
experts of the government at the port
of entry. 1t was claimed by the Ger
man government that the scale got int o
the native fruit trees and infected and
killed them. The scale, when 1T at
tacks trees, will not kill them, but no
case has ever been discovered of scales
from fruit finding their way TO the
trees. This German decree was fol
lowed by similar ones on the part OF
Austria Hungary and Canada, but drid
fruits were not included. Other Euro
pean governments, Great Britain
Sweden, Holland and France, took the
matter under ndvisement, but as yet
have taken no action. Switzerland
however, late this summer adopted
substantially the original German de-
cree and shut out all of our dried fruits
Exporters of this product Immediately
appealed to the state department. and
that department acted upon the sug
gestions OF the agricultural depart
ment. Representations were made tc
the Swiss government of character
deemed sufficient to cause revocation
Of the decree, but no action having
been taken, the chief entomologist O
the department conducted the expert
ments referred to. The experiments o.
the department Of agriculture have
extended over period Of several weeks
and have been most minute and careful
in the attainment of results. Larg'
lots of peaches, pears and apples in
fected with the scale have been TESTED
by all known methods OF commercial
drying. by sun drying. by evaporation
by the use OF sulphur and without
with the result that each OF these proc
esses destroys the life of the scale. Ii
the experiments made each scale was
carefully watched for several weeks
and after the fruit had been dried eac,
and every scale on every piece In th
entire lot was examined. In no in
stance had the scale survived the proc
ess of drying.

TRANSFORMING TREES.

not safe to do this either in the fall or
