Fruit Growers Meet.

TERMINATING THE SAN JOSE
SCALE THOROUGHLY DISCUSS
ED AND THE PEST COMMITS
SION ASKED TO COOPERATE.
The Fruit Growers Association
held a called meeting last Friday
evening at the office of DR.. SWEET.
Several large growers were pres
ent who were not at the former
meeting; among them IL. Z. Bill
yeu, DR.. B. Won Herff and j. Van
Lindley. All expressed them
selves pro and con on the subject
OF fumigation for the destruction
of the San Jose scale, and again
the concensus Of opinion appeared
to be that it is by all odds the most
efficient and effective remedy for
this relentless enemy to the fruit
growers. The great question was
that Of comparative cost, as con-
sidered against the expense of
spraying, and the comparative ef-
fectiveness of the two methods OF
treatment. j. VanLindley stated
that on his farm they were able to
hold the scale in check by spray
ing three times year and produce
good crops; but he also stated that
by this method they did not pre-
tend to be able to exterminate the
pest, merely hold it in check. He
did not, in his statements, express
even belief in the probability Of
ever being able to get along with
less than three sprayings a year
every year. He estimated that
the spraying treatment costs an av-
rage of three cents per tree for
the three treatments. MIR. Van
Lindley app cared to be of the opIn
ion that the cost Of fumigation
made it impracticable for large or
chards on account OF cost, SO long
as it was possible to hold the scale
in moderate check by the less eX-
pensive spraying treatment.
DR.. B. VonHerf called attention
to the fact that in many instances
spraying had killed trees and stat
ed that it was impossible to spray
efectually without to some extent
injuring the trees, even if ii did
not kill them. He referred to the
test made with the fumi gtaion
treatment on LOO trees at the EX
perimental Farm and sale awe

Safe Crackers at Work,

The First National Bank of Aber-
deem, Hartford county, was broken
open early Tuesday morning by
burglars. The robbers, with crow
bars, pried open the front door.
They broke off the combination
knob of the vault with a black
smiths sledge and blew the door
open with a charge of dynamite.
The force of the explosion wrecked
a plate glass window in the front
of the building, and owing to the
heavy storm at the time was
not heard. The shock stopped the
clock at 2:20. They seem to have
been frightened away at this time,
as the vault could have been easily
opened. Inside of the vault is a
large time stop safe in which all
the money of the bank is kept.
The robbers got nothing for their
trouble. There is no clue to the
attempted robbery.
