Of quite an extensive orchard near Alex
andria and is somewhat alarmed over the
outlook.
Mr.. Deis explained to Mr.. Ross that the
white scale is a disease which attacks a
tree in it's limbs Its presence is at once
denoted by the fact that the limb grows
white Immediately, as white, in fact. as If
1t had been treated with lime solution. IL
the limb is not cut Off at once, it is stated
the entire tree becomes quickly affected and
is killed. The disease is very contagious.
according to Mr.. Deis. Mr.. Ross has re-
quested Major Sylvester to instruct the
members of the police force to give some
attention to the matter by informing fruit
tree owners of the presence of the disease
and urging whatever precautions they may
care to take to protect their own property
and that of their neighbors. Mr.. Deis was
also referred to the Department of Agri-
culture where diseases of trees are studied
and dealt with.
