How to Control SAN Jose Scale,

The experience in California. cover
ing many years has abundantly dem
onStratcd that this scale insect can be
controlled, and the one remedy there is
is in spraying with the lime. salt and
sulphur wash. This wash is very ef-
fective, and its use is possible in all eli
mates similar TO those of the Pacific
coast. In the east the moiSter climate
and the more frequent rainfalls ut ana
subsequent to the time when treat
mcnts have to be made render this
wash ineffective, and distinct methods
of treatment have been found to be
necessary. The methods of control for
the east as given by Entomologist c. L.
Marlatt in the order of their impor-
lance are as follows: First. the soap
treatment: second. treatment with pure
Kerosene; third, treatment with crude
petroleum; fourth, treatment with me-
thanical mixtures Of either of the last
TWO oils with water In the main these
are all winter treatments and are made
at any time when the trees are in a
dormant, leafess condition. The treat
ments enumerated are all for trees i'm
the orchard. Nursery stock badly
enough infested to require such treat
ment is best destroyed. For the gener-
al disinfection Of nursery stock the hy-
drocyanic acid gas treatment is the
standard and only satisfactory means.

In some German experiments potash
is seen to be the most important ingre-
dent of potato fertilizer. Nitrogen
and phosphoric acid with potash gave
only small increase in yield over pot
ash alone, and if potash is not included
In the formula there is almost no in
crease. Nevertheless nitrogen and phos-
phoric acid are necessary compliments
of potash. though in small amounts or
less frequent applications, for a contin-
ued application of potash alone was

suggestive TO those who remain. II was
not the presidents purpose to make
changes for some months. Among the
presidents friends II has been taken
for granted that AIessrs. Long, Hitch

tired.
Mr. Smith has taken himself out of
the way. aud the others named will
probably follow, hut not with any pre-
eipitnncy. The rumor that ambassador
Choate is to be made secretary of state
was denied ON authority. Mr.. Choate
will return to the court of st. James,
and 50 far as the present intentions of
Secretary Hay are known the latter
will remain Mt the head of the cabinet.
Secretary Root Is one Of the presidents
most trusted advisers and II his health
continues to improve he will not retire
to private life. Secretary Wilson of the
department of agriculture has made
such success of his administration
that the president wants him to con
tinue at its head indefinitely. The pres.
| idpnt does not want to make more cabi
net appointments until near the end OF
the present session Of congress.
The political significance of Mr.
Payne's appointment is in his prom
ncnce with the national Republican
! committee. He is vice chairman Of thai
important organization, and his value
as a political organizer has been appre
ciatcd by no one better than by Senator
