lts Investigations.
A late report Of the government from
the division of entomology gives the
following. 1t contains but little that is
new and that may be found of great
value to those engaged in raising fruit,
shade and ornamental trees:
THE San Jose scale is so widely dis
seminated and has become so firmly es-
tablished In the principal deciduous fruit
regions Of this country that its extermi-
nation il now, in most cases, out of the
question. In the main, therefore, the
San Jose scale must be recognized as a
permanent factor to be regularly dealt
with p are other insect evils of the fung-
ous diseases Of plants. Extermi nation is
possible only where the scale is detected
at the very start on new or recently
planted nursery stock, or. at least, before
any considerable chance of spread has
been afforded. While one is undoubtedly
justified in asserting that the San Jose
scale|is to be permanency, it by no
means follows that the profitable growth
Of deciduous fruits is seriously menaced
on this account. The experience in Cal
ifornia, covering many years, has abund-
autly demonstrated that this scale insect
can BE controlled, and the more recent
experience in the east points indubitably
III
to the same conclusion. In other words,
by proper repressive and remedial treat
ment. the value of which has been DEM
onstrated by much practical experience,
an orchard can be protected from serious
injury and kept in good paying condi-
ton 70 far as influenced by the San Jose
scale.
''In view of the above it is certainly
very unwise and wastefnl to dig up and
burn large portion Of an orchard be-
cause it il infested with this scale insect,

sible in all climates similar to those of
the Pacific coast. In the east the moister
climate and the more frequent rainfalls
at and subsequent to the time when treat
ment have been found to be necessary.
The methods of control for the east are,
in the order of their importance. as fol.
lows: III The soap tire atmeut; (7) treat
ment with pure kerosene; (3) treatment
with crude petroleum; az treatment with
with mechanical mixtures of either ofthe
last two oils with water. In the main,
these are all winter treatments and are
made at any time when the trees are in
dormant, lifeless condition. The treat
ments enumerated are all for trees in the
orchard. Nursey stock badly enough
infested to require such treatment is best
destroyed. For the general disinfectiou
OF nursery stock and hydrocyanic :a:id
gas treatment Is the standard and only
satisfactory means.
"All nursery stock which is under the
least suspicion of contamination with the
San Jose scale should be fumigated, and
it is perhaps worth while to fumigate in
any case to give the utmost assurance Of
safety to the purchaser. The hydrocyanic
acid gas fumigation is the one to use.
This gas is generated by combining po-
tassium cyanide, sulphuric acid and
water. The proportions of the chemicals
are as follows: Refined potassium cyanide
(9S per cent). ounce; water, ; fluid
ounces-to every 100 cubic feet of space
in the fumigating room or house. The

lation above and at the side, operated
from without, so that the poisonous
gases can be allowed to escape without
the necessity Of anyone entering the
chamber. The generator Of the gas may
be any glazed earthenware vessel Of one
or two gallon capacity, and should be
placed on the floor Of the fumigating
room and the water and acid necessary to
generate the gas added to it. lhe cyan
ide should be added last. preferably in
Jumps the size Of walnut. Promptly
after adding the cyanide the room should
be vacated and the door made fast. The
treatment should continue 40 minutes.
1t must be borne in mind that the gas
is extremely poisonous, and under NO
circumstances must be inhaled. The gas
treatment is effective against the scale on
growing trees in the orchard also; but
the difficulty and expense Of the treat
ment. except for nursery stock, makes it
prohibitive in case Of deciduous fruits.
"This 10 the invariable remedy for the
San Jose scale in California and much Of
the Pacific coast, and it il. under the con-
