and no doubt enlivened it. On the next
day as he gave the couple parting bene-

a rather heavy purse.

chuclled over the handsome fee he had
earned for his brother. He was anxious

1T Is THE SAN JOSE SCALE LOUISE
THAT DOES THE DAMAGE
The Lime Sulphur and Salt Mixture is the Only Mixture
Any One Ought to Use and Why-How to
Prepare and Apply, Etc.

The following article from the Farm
journal VIA prove of interest to the
rrull- growers of Virginia. II deals with
subjecl OF vital concern to them.
The Journal says:
They sim speak of it as the San Jose
scale and they ought not.
There is a. scale, il is true, but the lice
do The mischief. The scale is simply the
house the louise builds for it self. The
scale is harmless: the louise is one of the
worst orchard pests known. We have
before us a statement that the lice are
sometimes blown by the WING a distance
OF a half mile.
They still recommend crude petroleum
for spraying, which is not lit for the pur-
lcse, as it is very expensive and far more
likely to kill some OF the trees than al:
OF the lice.
They also recommend Kerosene diluted

;.s they thus have it under control. Not
that they kill it out entirely, but il is no
longer an obstacle to successful fruit
growers.
The lime, sulphur and Salt have
not been used to any extent In the East,
because several years ago the Govern
ment issued a bulletin which contained
the statement that the mixture did not
answer here and people credited it.
The statement we believe is not correct;
IN fact it is away of, and has caused
much hahn to fruit growers in the East.
The entcmologists OF the state expert
,ment stations, taking their information
from the government bulletins. made the
same mistake, and sought other remedies
Tor the pest. Up to this time they have
not found anything as good, and are not
likely to.
The Farm Journal has discovered that
the lime. sulphur and salt remedy is
just as effective here In the East as 1t is
