trees which are afflicted with the oyster
shell scale. He has remedy which will
cure the disease, but he has no protec-
ton against infected trees in the neigh
borhood, which are allowed to go from
bad to worse. No sooner does he clear
his own orchard of the scale than the
parasites in the other orchards migrate
to his trees and continue their attack.
Mr.. Van Valkenberg is getting tired OF
the process, and thinks the Territory
ought to protect him from controllable
pests.
