The only way to do is to treat the
trees each season with something
which will destroy the scale. Whale
oil soap will destroy the scale. Whale
oil SOAP will answer the purpose II
used in sufficient quantities, but II Is
somewhat difficult to use and extreme
Iy offensive to the smell. IL you de-
eide to use this soap you mix at least
two pounds to each gallon of water.
It is necessary to heat 1t in order to
make solution, and also necessary to
drench the trees thoroughly with 1t.
This needs to be done once each sea-
son, preferably Just before the buds
open in the spring, although 1t Is
sometimes advisable to give treat
ment in the fall and another In the
spring. This, however, will not an
swer for peach trees because this ma
terial will kill the buds Of peach trees
except just as they are opening.
THE BEST REMEDY.
"The best remedy is crude petrole-
um, preferably of a light grade; that
is, an oil which Is not very thick or
heavy. You can use this In pump
which Is made for the purpose, and
mix from 90 to 80 per cent, but pref

water. II you do not choose to get a
pump made especially for spraying
with oil, any ordinary spray pump will
do, In which case you will need to
use 100 per cent. because common
pumps do not have attachments for
giving different per centages. Since
crude petroleum is likely to do injury
to trees care must be taken in its
use. The trees must be sprayed sim
ply enough to wet all parts of the
surface but not enough to cause the
material to run down the limbs or
body of tho tree. In spraying lightly
there is not likely to be any damage
done, but IL heavy applications are
made the trees are almost sure to be
killed or injured.
CRUDE PETROLEUM PREFERRED.

It is more efficient and easier to work
with than whale oil soap. Spray on a
bright, sunshiny day or when the wind
is blowing II may be necessary TO

Is advisable, indeed almost necessary,
to prune the trees severely; the ends
of the branches ought to be cut off;
even half or two-thirds of the top
should be removed. This enables you
to do better work in spraying and be-
sides the tree Is more likely to recov-
er from the effect of the scale IL Sc
verely pruned than IL left unpruned.

SUGAR IS WEAK
Owing to the Cuban
Tariffs.
THE POTATO MARKET
Is Attracting Considerable At
tention--The Wholesale Rate
Is Considerably
Lower.

The reducing of the Cuban sugar
tariff has had the effect of unsettling
sugar quotations, and the indications
are that there will be reduction in
the wholesale price. Sugar securities
have been affected. II there should be
any material reduction, or II the tariff
change should even prevent the usual
rise during the fruit season, the gen.
eral public will bless the law.
. Saturdays prices rule Monday.
Stocks were pretty well cleaned up.
There is a great difference of opinion
as to what will become of the potato
market. Some dealers insist that the
price will go higher. Others are Of
the opinion that rates will go down,
as the offerings are very heavy. An
indication that the price will drop Is
found in the Cleveland markets. Fancy
stock in car load lots, can be bought
for 65 and 70 cents bushel, while sec
ond quality brings but 55 and go cents.
Local dealers have been compelled
to reduce the price of wheat to so
cents to meet the general decline.
