Of fumigation. This was first prac-
tlced IN California in the citrus belt to
check the ravages OF the cottony cush-
ION scale and the red scale. Hydro
cyanic acid gas proved most effective
and is now used almost exclusively.

describes in detail the process on flu.
migating trees in an orchard. Briefly.
1t consists in covering the trees with
some sort of tent, generating the gas
and allowing II to remain until tho
scales have been destroyed.
The tent generally used is what is
known as hoop tent and ranges from
eight TO fourteen feet in diameter
The hoop itself is of three-auarter-
inch gas pipe, but half inch will do for
smaller sizes. The manipulation of
the tent varies according to It's size.
If the trees are small, it can be easily
thrown over tree, put in place and
then taken of. II the trees are of con
siderable size some effort Will be re

OF changing from one tree to another
IS shown. After the fumigation is
completed, the hoop is lifted until it
