The Treatment of Trees for San Jose
Scale.-State Entomologist Johnson, of the
Maryland Agricultural College, in speaking of
the fall treatment for the San J lose scale, makes
the following recommendations for immediate
action All badly infested trees, of whatever
variety, should be grubbed out without delay.
pile the brush and wood where the tree stood,
but do not burn it until next May or June.
This is done to preserve the little parasites
that feed upon the scale. If they are not de-
stroyed these little friends can concentrate
their attacks upon other moderately infested
trees near by. The scale cannot leave branch
or twig to which it is attached; therefore,
when the tree is cut down all the insects die
with the drying out of the sap, while the para
sites escape and fly to other trees. Spray
ali suspicious trees with 10 per cent. mixture
of kerosene and water before the leaves fall and
while the pest is still breeding. The scale will
continue to breed until cold weather. Do the
work thoroughly and see that you touch every
part of the tree, as the spray kills by contact
only. Select calm, sunny day for the spray
ing. Mechanically mix the kerosene and
water-in right proportion. Late this fall after
the foliage is falling off, whaleo oil soap at the
rate of two pounds to gallon of water can be
used on pear and apple trees, but it is not
recommended for peach and plum trees.

Squirrels in Druid Hill Park.-The squir-
rels in Druid Hill Park are at this season one
of the most interesting features of that pleas
ure ground, says the Baltimore NeCs. The
little animals are busy all day around the
Druid Hill and Madison avenue entrances
working to stow away their hoard of nuts for
winter use. They never lack for material to
stock their winter warehouses in the crotches
and holes of the magnificent trees that tower
around and between the two entrances. Every
afternoon an old gentleman, carrying quart
bag full of hickory nuts, starts in at the Mad
son avenue entrance and distributes the con-
tents of the bag on the ground as far as the
croquet ground, near the Druid Hill and Full
ton avenue entrances Sometimes he gives a
handful of nuts to one of the children playing
in the park, always with the instruction not
to make an abrupt gesture to brighten the
squirrels. The squirrels have grown to know
their friend, and their plume-like tails seem to
whisp in delighted and welcoming manner
as they approach him by short. darling runs.
The old gentleman takes great interest in
watching the provident little creatures fill the
pouches in their jaws with nuts and scamper
away to their homes in Treeland.
