The San lose Scale

A few days ago Professor Smith, State
Entomologist, stopped at Burlington to
examine the work done by Nelson P.
Greeley in his orchards near Deacon Is
station. Mr.. Greeley sprayed his apple
orchards during the past winter with a
mixture of lime, salt and sulphur, and the
question to be determined was whether
this had been successful in destroying the
San Jose scale
The work was found to have been re-
markably effective, tree after tree being
found free from living scales. The in
sects have not been exterminated, by any
means, but so few of them remain that no
harm can result from them. This lime,
salt and sulphur is the standard Pacific
coast remedy for San Jose scale, but early
trials were so unsatisfactory that it was
concluded that the material was not suit
able for our moist eastern climate. Re
cent trials, however, have been much more
successful and it seems probable that this
wash will become the chief reliance of our
S~S'NAH AAuAt SiO"CAS III hCcpluS uOWn
this pernicious scale. 1t has the advant
age OF being harmless to peach trees, un-
der ordinary circumstances, and is, there
fore, better than crude petroleum, which
is equally effective in killing the scale.
Where trees are very thickly incrusted
with scale the sulphur wash is not SO good
as the oil, because it is less penetrating;
but for such as are only moderately in
tested, it answers every purpose.
Professor Smith says that the wash has
been tried at several other points in Bur
lingIon county and also in Mercer county
with varying measure of success. He
will keep close watch on all these or
chards and will publish the results in time
for fruit growers to prepare for winter
work.
After his work at Burlington, Profess
sor Smith went on to Cape May county
where he succeeded in completing the life
circle of the pestiferous salt marsh mos
quito. He found where the eggs were
laid, under what circumstances the insect
breeds most readily, and he is confident
that when the owners of seashore property
once awaken to the possibility that they
can really almost exterminate the pest
the days of the mosquito will be num-
bered
