THE SAN JOSE SCALE.
State EntomolOgist Says 1t Is in
Georgia to Stay. Tells
of Its Spread.

In the discussion by the state horti-
cultural convention of the spread and
means to be used against the spread OF
the San Jose Scale, at the meeting in
Millegeville last week, Mr.. Scott. the
state entomologist, unrolled for the
inspection of the society map of the
state showing the infected districts in
red.
Mr.. Scott said in substance that the
San Jose scale had become very gener-
ally distributed throughout Georgia:
that it was introduced from New Jer-
sey about twelve years ago, and has
spread rapidly and unremittingly for
several years. When the people of the
state finally awohe to the gravity of
the situation it was already in most Of
the ldrgelorchards in south Georgia.
Waycross is generally accredited as
being the first point of Introduction,
but this doubtful honor is also claimed
for brownsville. Though there is
some doubt about this, it is certain
that the latter point was the one of
general distribution for the southwest
section. 1t is now thoroughly estab-
lished, and has been thoroughly dis
tributed from orchards to swamp and
into the shade trees in the cities and
towns.
A few counties in this section are
free from scale so far as any definite
information is known, but it would un-
doubtedly be found to be there if an
investigation were made.
1t has become thoroughly establish
ed in some localities in Dougherty,
Randolph, Webster and Marion cOun-
ties and was introduced in the import
ant fruit growing towns of Fort Val
lev and Marshallville as long as five or
six wears ago. Here, however, radical
methods were taken to hold it down,
with the result that until very recent
ly it has been confined to very few
orchards. The indications this sum-
mer, however, are that it is becoming
more generally distributed over those
towns southeast of Macon. In Twiggs
and Laurens counties it also ex-
listed for some tine before means were
taken for its control, and now several
orchards in those counties are excel
lent examples of what may be accom-
plished by a systematic fight against
this insect.
North of Macon the conditions are
different. In hardly any localities did
it exist to any dangerous degree be-
fore it's presence was detected and
means introduced against it. Though
the map shows a considerable number
of infected points most of these mean
but single orchard, which has already
been dug up and every means taken
possible to insure the complete eradi
cation of the pest from these regions.
Localities of this sort exist in Gwin-
nett, Jackson, Pickens and Gilmer,
With regard to the future of the
San Jose scale in Georgia, in so far as
at present indicates, it is sure to spread
in time and by natural causes through
out the state. 1t is hoped, however.
with good foundation, the natural
enemies will be found Sufficient to
cope with it successfully.

MAY COMPROMISE ON A DIsPENsARY.
Terrell County Pointed to as a Model
for Clay.

The prohibitioni5ts and anti-prohi-
bitionists of Clay county, who are just
now in the midst of heated campaign,
may compromise on dispensary. Sat
urdav's Fort Gaines Sentinel contained
the following card from Mr.. r. c. Nc
Allister, one of the most influential
citizens of that town :
"Believing that majority of the
prohibitionists and Observation-Disclosures
of the county will agree upon dispen-
sarv as the more practicable solution
of the whisky question, and as com
promise on this line is urged by prom
inent citizens on both sides, | with 9TH
ers have concluded to withdraw from
further contest of this campaign A
county dispensary has long been pet
scheme with me, and it will be remem-
bercd that advocated it through these
columns two or three years ago. Being
convinced that such will prove high
Nv satisfactory solution ola veXed Ques-
tion in this county | am pleased to ind
it now so generally advocated, and as
a citizen having the best interests OF
the county at heart Icheerfully endorse
the compromise. The Terrell county
dispensary, which has enabled that
county to pay all debts and accumulate
thousands of dollars in her treasury
and discontinue the levying of county
taxes, is an example of the advantages
of such system to which | would
point you. Respectfully,
