San JOSE SCALE
ALARMS FRUIT men.
Bulletin Just Issued Says Pest Has
Appeared in Orchards in Seven
Missouri Counties.

Fruit-growers Of st. Louis County are rom
siderably alarmed over a bulletin issued by
the Agricultural Experiment Station Of CO.
lumbia. Mo-. warning them against an in
sect known as the San Jose scale.
The bulletin states that the insect has
made Its appearance in seven counties OF
the state and produces a map showing that
1t Is worse in st. Louis County than in any
other OF the seven, with the exception Of
Jackson. The three sections of st. Louis
County where the insect was discovered are
Just southwest Of Tower Grove. north CT
Baden. and in the central western part.
The bulletin states that unless effective
measures are taken as soon as the scale Is
discovered entire orchards will be ruined. It
states that the scale can be best killed In
orchards by the use Of whale-oil soap. The
tree should be first severely pruned and then
thoroughly washed or sprayed on all sides
with two pounds of whale-oil soap. dissolved
plicatfons are necessary and three are pref
cradle. The first application should be
made shortly after the leaves hav fallen,
the second some time in the winter and
the third in the spring, before the buds
swell. The only other practically safe rene
dy. says the bulletin. is hydrocyanic acid.
but it Is more troublesome and expensive,
except for nursery stock.
In the summary of the results of the in
ve%stigation. Entomologist Steedman says
that the scale has been found infest:ng
twenty private orchards, and thirty others
are suspected that have not yet been ex-
amined. 1t has not yet reached any nur-
series. In every known case the infection
was introduced, unconsciously. on nursery
stock from one or the other Of two New
Jersey nurseries. with one exception. and
that came from Pennsylvania. The last in
lection was introduced years ago. while
the others were introduced from four to
seven years ago.
The San Jose scale was first discovered
in 1873 in San Jose. Cal. Among other
things, Mr.. Steadman says that Missouri
horticulture will suffer many millions of
dollars loss in the near future, unless every
effort, both private and legislative, be at
once made to exterminate this scale In the
areas now infested and to prevent its in
PRODUCTION into new localities. He says the
insect Is the worst pest Of the orchard and
kills a tree in from two to three years.
The other Missouri counties infested are
Carroll. Randolph, Cole, ape Girardeau
and Webster.

Speculation as to what Is ahead is plen-

further advance. The purchases of basic

Wall Street Gossip.

The following synopsis of the gossip in regard
to the leading features of the New York mar
ket was received by D. r. Francis. Bro. & Co.
New York, Feb. 2S.-Arbitrage brokers were
idle during the greater part OF the day. because
of inability to market stocks in London.
Chicago started selling U. p. on a large scale
at the opening to-day. and reports were circu-
purchase of Southern Pacific by Union Pacific,
but these reports were not taken in earnest here.
The weakness in the steel stocks was partly
due to liquidation of speculation accounts. and
the declines were helped by room traders.
The heaviest selling Of Union Pacific was TO-
600 shares by Wasserman Bros. In the afternoon
the same firm bought 5000 Sugar.
Amalsamated Copper advanced early on the
Flower brokers were also heavy buyers. The
fact that Amalgamated Copper and American
Sn eltirg moved up at the same time vas known
to indicate some connection between the two
companies. but houses often active in Anal
gaTated Copper said that they attributed buy
Ing OF A~malgamated to the fact that the Mon
tana Legislature adjourns early in March for
two years, and for that period there will be
no aggressive legislation, while the advance in
American Smelling appeared to be a movement

ment was made. and st. Paul. like the majority

pected to benefit the market tomorrow.
