Special Instructions for Treat
ing Trees Infested With
San Jose Scale.
BY WILLIS G. JOHNSON, STATE EN-.
TOMoLOGIST.

/. If the tree is badly infested,
and too far gone to save by a sys-
tenn of treatment, grub it up by
the roots, trim and pile wood and
brush where it stood, do not burn
wood or brush, at least, until af-
ter Midsummer. Nature has
some natural enemies at work
upon the scale and these little
friends must not be burned. If
the brush is piled, the scales all
die in a few days, the little
friends escape and concentrate
their attacks upon other trees
where the scale exists, and where
it has been over looked. Scale
cannot possibly live upon twig
or piece of wood cut before NAV
10. 1t spreads only when the
young appear, which is between
June 10th and the late fall.
have seen young crawling on
trees, during open warm weather
as late as December 10; but such
late individuals could not posi-.
bly, survive the winter, as it would
be practically impossible for them
to cover themselves with the
scale-like covering.
2. If the tree is only moderate
ly infested prune it as much as
possible, saving every branch
and twig, piling them in some
place in or near the orchard.
3. Then spray peach and plum
with a 20 per cent. mixture of
kerosene and water and pear and
apple with 70 per cent. mixture.
Spray thoroughly using a combi-
nation kerosene and wa ter
sprayer if possible,
4. If you have an ordinary
sprayer you can use whale oil
soap in water at the rate of two
pounds to a gallon, before the
buds open. Use good grade of
caustic potash whale oil soap,
and apply when warm.
B. Crude petroleum can be used
also, and should be applied be.
fore the buds open.
At all times keep close watch
on your orchard and if tree
looks suspicious send me a twig
by mail without delay.

TO SELECT DELEGATES
THE TINE Is PRACTICALLY FIXED
IN MARION COUNTY.
Night Preceding the State
Convention.

IT has practically been decided TO hold
the Marion county primaries for the selec-
ton of delegates to the State convention,
on the Monday night preceding the con-
vention. In addition to Marion county
there are but fourteen counties in the State
that have not selected their delegates.
Allen county will select delegates on April
20. 1t is announced that delegates will be
elected to-day i'm Decatur, Floyd, Jeffer-
son, Jennings, Lagrange, Orange and Put
nam counties. On April IA, delegates will
be elected i'm Washington county and on
April q. i'm Newton. There are four other
counties in which delegates have not been
elected.
State Chairman Hernly is enthusiastic
over the Washington love feast. He says
it was the biggest affair of it's kind that
ever took place in the State. He is par
ticularly enthusiastic over the speeches
that were made at the banquet. He says
they were forceful and eloquent. The
chairman was much pleased with the
speech of Gurley Brewer. the colored
orator of this city. Brewer will speak at
the Fourth district love-feast which takes
place at Columbus on Wednesday night of
next week. This will be the last political
event of it's kind in the State before the
convention which will be held on April %.
Chairman Hernly said yesterday that the
platform committee appointed by the
State committee at its meeting recently,
was making progress This committee will
make it's report to the State committee at
another to be held few days before the
State convention. Chairman Hernly will
leave to-day for New York to be gone sew
eral days. The chairman recalls that the
love-feast scheme originated in Henry
county about ten or twelve years ago. The
Republicans carried Liberty township one
year, and were so elated that Hernly, who
was the county chairman, with several
other party leaders, gave an oyster supper
and invited all the Republicans of the
township. The affair, Mr.. Hernly says,
was much I'm the style of the love feasts
that have since become so popular.

BIRDS AND BEES.
Isaac w. Brown Talked of Them BE-
fore the Audubon Society.

Isaac w. Brown. of Rochester, n. Y, ad-
dressed the Audubon Society last night at
its meeting at the Commercial Club on
birds and Bees" The address was one of
a series which has been planned by the So
ciety for the furtherance Of its object, fos-
tering and protecting birds. bees and trees.
Mr.. Brown contended that poor crops Of
farmers and gardeners are in great meas
ure due to the destruction of the birds and
bees, which, If allowed TO live unmolested
and with proper protection, would make
their entire living off the worms and in
sects that do so great damage to growing
crops. He cited instances where there had
been great Increase in crops on account of
the protection thus afforded and said that
hunter was endangering his personal
safety TO attempt to go on some of the
farms TO shoot quail and other birds. He
favored the building of hives for the ac-
commodation of the bumblebees, which he
claimed would greatly increase the yield of
clover.

with twenty or more cities OF the country
where such a fund is operated, and the re-

very favorable, Last night he mentioned
his plan to the other members of the board,
which was for the teachers to pay in an
annuity fund 1 per cent. of their monthly
salary, and after being i'm the service for
twenty-five years or more be paid one-half
of their salary on retirement. If in the
meantime teachers are discharged or leave
the school service voluntarily, they are to
be paid back the money actually paid into

raising of this fund being obligatory or
voluntary was not brought up, but the sug-
gestion of a pension fund was met with
approval by the members of the board. and
a committee was appointed to investigate
the matter more fully. The committee was
composed of Commissioners c. w. Moores

NO SETTLEMENT YET.
Both Sides Becoming Impatient iR the
Plumbers Strike.

Committees representing the Master
Plumbers Association and the Plumbers
Union met yesterday at the request of the
union TO consider a proposition that the
journeymen had prepared. The PROPOSE
ton submitted was $3.50 a day for first
class plumbers and $3.50 a day for those
Of the second class. Their former demand
was $3.50 day without classification. and
the proposition of the association was $3.50
a day for first-class men and $2.75 day
for those of the second class. The unions
offer was rejected without discussion. Then
for the first time since the strike began
the union asked the master plumbers to
submit a proposition, and a meeting Will
be held to-day for its consideration.
The master plumbers say that up to this
time they have been inclined to humor the
journeymen, thinking a settlement would
be reached. but that ii is now becoming
serious problem. They look upon the last
demand of the journeymen as exorbitant
and above their former demands, and 1t
has placed the matter in such position
that somebody must make concessions.
The master plumbers say they have con-
ceded all they will and that these confer
ences are about at an end, and the union
insists that il will not retreat. Both sides
are becoming impatient, and the hopes
yesterday of reaching an agreement have
changed to dissatisfaction and almost in
difference.
