 have been asked to discuss methods Of controlling the San Jdse scale:
 The remedy most used at the present time. to hold this serious fruit pest un- der control, is what is known as the iime-sulphur and salt wash. It Is also called the California wash. from the fact that 1t was first used, for this. .pur- pose. in that State. This wash injures the foliage of fruit trees If applied when the trees are in leaf. but. if used when the trees are dormant. it is a safe and effective remedy. It does not kill all the scales as soon as applied. but it re- mains on the trees for a long time, and seems to prevent the young scales from locating.
 Experiments show that trees badly iu- crusted with the San Jose scale, when the wash is applied. are not immediately cleared of scales, but before the season is over. most. If not all, have perished. The best time to apply this wash Is as late as possible before the buds open in the early spring.
 As there is danger of having a wet spell at that time. 1t Is found better to spray earlier, or at this time December to February. To be successful. the work must be thoroughly done. The material

security of vast interests call for Amer ican naval supremacy.
 It will be found, too, that the objec- tions to her naval expansion are unten- able, On the score of expense, Amerlca has unmeasured resources and at the same time is not burdened by great na- tionaI debt and does not have the ex- nense of great standing armies, leaving inc man to productive pursuits. increase of nroductiveness being the very watch word for all.
 The program in the bill attached would mt increase by one-tenth Of one per cent fine tax rate on the American people. Literally. if America maintained navy equal to the combined navies of the world sho rvo,ld not be conscious of a burden. EvidentIv fifty millions of dollars for new shipa the first year is a modest beginning. The addition of ten millions a year would scarcely be in keeping with her increase in population and increase in wealth, while money expended at home would put the money in the treasury back into clrcu- lation and would quicken our industries.
 Furthermore, a great navy, in prevent ing war. would be an important factor Of economy. Millions for war ships will save billions for war
 The various European powers ought now to prefer that America, neuti al, friendly, peaceful America, rather than one of their own number. should hold naval supremacy. But in any event they must realize that all combined cannot ul- timately compete with America. There fore, the proposed program in which America prOclaims that she intends to be first will prevent competition.
 Objection is raised by some who super fcially confound naval power with mill tary power, that naval expansion would tend to lead the nation into militarism. As a matter of fact, security through naval power permits a nation to dispense with military organization of its people. Naval power is simply a question of re- sources. capacity to pay for building and maintaining fleets where the advantage comes from peace and uninterrupted in- dustry
