orchard is cut out. If the trees are
not destroyed, they should be treated
by spraying as soon as discovered, and
at least twice year. Two sprayings
year are better than one for several
reasons, but one Of the most important
is that it is impossible to cover every
part Of the tree at one spraying, and il
a single spot is missed thousands of
the tiny insects will be left, to become
thousand billion before the summer
is ended.
Anytime after the leaves fall is the
time for the first treatment, and the
second may be in March, or about the
time that buds begin to swell. II two
thorough sprayings are given every year
the insect will he kept in check and
the trees saved.
Goal oil, either crude or refined, may
he used: and either as mechanical
emulsion, put on with pump made
for this purpose, or as soap emulsion.
Or the crude oil may be used straight,
but more material is required in this
way.
The soap emulsion is made as fol-
lows One gallon boiling water: one
half pound soap, any kind, we'll dis
solved in the hot water; two gallons
oil. Stir hard until they mix to form
! the emulsion. Add five gallons of
water for p per cent emulsion or
seven gallons for 20 per cent emul-
sion. The stronger emulsion will do
no harm, but the weaker will do IL two
thorough sprayings are given as ad-
vised above. Any ordinary spray pump
will do for this emulsion, but it pays
to get good one, and in spraying to
put on good pressure so as to make a
fine mist.
The disadvantage in the soap emul
sion is the trouble of mixing, bur with
proper kettles for heating the water,
this is not serious matter.
The advantage is that a more even
coat of oil can be applied, for there is
not yet on the market pump that will
give uniform and perfect satisfaction
with the mechanical emulsion. Unless
Delaware gazette and state journal., 1902-11-20

great care is used the percentage will
ee uneven. The pumps are also more
expensive. But with these pumps,
kerosene, $50 degrees fash test, or the
crude oil, is put into one tank and the
water into another, the proper attach
ments of hose and nozzles are made,
and you are ready for business In all
cases a fine nozzle should be used.
Emphasis is placed upon two things
and those are of tho utmost import
ance. First: Spray twice year
Second: Cover every part of every tree.
In case the infestation is not dis
covered until the trees are in foliage,
or il on any trees the treatment has not
been effective, Is per cent kerosene
emulsion, either soap or mechanical,
may te applied a. any time, covering
the wood fully with the spray but avoid
ing the leaves as much as convenient.
There are other sprays, but at present
| the oil seems best and most convenient.
The lime, salt and sulphur mixture
used on the Pacific Coast will give
good results, probably, and may be
tried az an experiment. This mixture
is pretty severe on pumps and must not
be made in copper kettles as 1t eats this
metal very readily and will destroy q
copper vessel in few minutes.
Formula Cnslaked lime, 40 pounds /;
-four of sulphur, 20 pounds; common
| salt, 10 pounds; and water enough to
make GO gallons. Take 10 pounds of
lime and 20 pounds of sulphur and boil
thorouqhlv in % gallons of water over
Delaware gazette and state journal., 1902-11-20

a good fire for an hour and half, or
until the sulphur is thoroughly dis
solved. When the solution becomes a
clear amber colcr it indicates that the
sulphur is practically dissolved. Stir
frequently while boiling. Thoroughly
slack the remaining 30 pounds OF lime
with hot water and add the Is pounds
of salt to it while still boiling, and stir
until the salt is entirely dissolved.
The lime and salt mixture is then
added to the lime and sulphur solu-
tion, and Is thoroughly stirred and
boiled for a half hour longer Hot
water sufficient to bring the solution
to 90 gallons is then added. The
mixture should be sprayed while hot.
Strain it thoroughly through a fine
meshed wire gauze, before pouring into
the pump. A Bordeaux or Seneca
nozzle will be found the most salts
factory, as they can be easily cleaned,
while others tend to become ologeed.
Thorough spraying OF all infested
trees twice year with any one of
these remedies will meet the require
ments of the law and will give as good
results as we can expect, and ar the
least expense to the owner of the
orchard. Work should be begun i'm
mediately, for later cold weather may
make it impossible.

SAN JOSE SCALE.

state Board of Agriculture Assisting
Farmers to Make War ON the Pest
The following bulletin has been is
sued by the Stats Board of Agricul-
tuTe:
The San Jose Scale is the worst pest
that the orchardist has to fight. 1t is
a minute insect, scarcely visible to the
naked eye, with soft yellow body,
protected by waxy covering which
prevents soapy and oily fluids from at
tacking it readily. Hence it is hard
to kill.
1t has wonderful powers of propaga
ton Each female may be the mother
of 400 young, beginning to give birth
to them when she is four weeks old :
and these in turn become mothers in
four weeks from birth, so that one
female starting in spring may have
before autumn billion or two of de,
scendants-mo than man could
count in a hundred years, counting
steadily ten hours day.
This insect does not contine its in
juries to ono kind of fruit trees but
attacks nearly all of them. 1t is es.
peoially destructive to peaches, pears,
apples and plums.
The State Board of Agriculture is
doing everything possible with it:
present resources to help Delaware
farmers fight against this insect. Il
sends men to examine orchards to de
termine whether the insect is present,
and if found, TO prescribe the bes
remedy and explain how to use it.

WHAT 1T COSTS TO MARRY.

Marriage is one Of the cheapest of
luxuries IL one reckons only the outlay
required for the pa m.ntu I he preach
er or magistrate who performs the
ceremony ana the cost OF The license in
such states as require Lies nses. Any
minister, priest or preacher Of the
Gospel in the United States may SOL
emnize marriages, and in many tates
judges for one or more Classes of
courts may oihciate. In all save half
a dozen states, too, justice. of the
peace have the privileg. of officiating
at the highly important function, says
the Chicago ~thronicle.
In some parts Of the United States
the person performing a marriage GER
emony must have personal knowledge
of the identity. names and residence of
the parties, and inasmuch a. such laws
are enforced in some OF The western
states where young people frequently
drive long distances to Ls married, the
stipulation has on occasion caused
more or less Inconvenience. In most
of the states two witnesses are re-
aired to be present at III, sole mniza-
lion OF a marriage, although in some
states a single witness is sutlicien nj.

an I'D Law which prsscribes that ~
witnesses shall he present. but this ex-

The conditions prevailing in the noun
tain districts of Tennessee will appre-
ciate the wisdom Of this unique pro-
viso.
Common supposition is to the effect
that the fee for performing the mar
riage ceremony is dependent entirely
upon the generosity ofthebridegroom,
and it will, doubtless, therefore. sur
prise many persons to learn that in
several states the Law has a hand in
the matter. In the Old Dominion. for
instance, there Is a statute which pro-
vides that the person solemnizing a
marriage 10 entitled to a fee Of one
dollar, and that amy person ~exacting
a greater fee shall forfeit to the party
aggrieved $50" In West Virginia it is
stipulated that the fee be 'nt least
one dollar" and the Idaho law says
that "the fee shall be five dollars, or
any other or greater sum voluntarily
given by the parties to such marriage"
In 10 states of the union a welded
couple may obtain a more or less elab-
crate certificate Of their marriage.
