Is just as easy To place the roosts

dust bath below the roosts and have
IL protected by the dropping board.

Work Of san Jose Scale.

Prof Taft OF the NJ. a. c. made an
investigation into the rayages OF the
san Jose scale on the farms and
among the city trees at Ypsilanti He
expressed surprise az the extent to
which the disease has spread, and
thinks that only radical measures can
stop a. II is probable that the coun-
ell Will recommend that the matter
be taken up Systematically Prof.
Taft found that fully 5000 trees were
affected with San Jose scale in Ypsl-
lanti Many orchards are so far gone
that no course remains but 10 chop
them down Fully oue-half the trees
in the city are affected more or less.
