As Mr.. Isaman is DESTROYS not to make
any more expense to the state than is
necessary, he will not make personal
inspection of the trees in this vicinity as
they are known all to be covered with
scale. II any person thinks his trees are
not infested with the scale and would like
a personal examination Of them he will
be glad to inspect them, and would sug-
gest that such persons leave their names
with S. Leslie Thompson at Dent & But
ler's. Mr.. Isaman agrees with the Teller
that tree badly infested had better be
cut down and burned, root and branch
but trees that are not badly infested can
easily be cleansed with thorough appli-
cstion of the lime, sulphur, salt and I've
solution.
