try has become infected whole orchards have
been destroyed and millions of trees in the east
ern portion OF our State are on the verge of
death from the ravages of this pernicious insect
The most striking feature i'll the habits of the
San Jose scale louise is its tendency to infest only
the eNtremitles of the trees, or the new growth
especially the lower branches and the fruit. The
leaves are attacked along the mid-rib on the up
per side OF the leaf and also to some extent along
the side ribs The leaf turns purplish brown
isb color, but does not loosen or fall. They
seem to gather by preference in the pit around
the calyX end OF the fruit. where they are not
likely to be noticed.
Size of the Insect
lhe San Jose scale louise is only as large as
the point of pin. They multiply by bearing
lVlng young, and one female becomes the ma.
ternal ancestor of three billions in single sea
son. lhey are active only in the young stage
and 1T is in this stage that they disseminate. The
young insect crawls about on the branches and
smaller twigs during the first few days of its
NE, during this stage the insect appears in the
form OF small red spot, which is not readily
dlscernlble with the naked eye. If magnfying
glass be used, however, it will be seen TO resem-
BILE common bedbug in appearance, but with a
much rounder body 1t is during this stage that
1t is dangerous. 1t travels over the leaves and
twigs. 1t may be carried from one point to an
other, and last but not least, it becomes mated
searches for "a suitable spot in which to make
her permanent abode. Finding this, she fixes her
self by her beak or broboscis and remains in this
position the remainder of her life sucking iuces
from the plant The male continues to wander,
but it also fixes itself. When the insect becomes
fixed it covers itself with waterproof wax like
scale from which it gets it's name. This scale is
greysh white in color and is usually about the
diameter of a pins head. The great numbers of
insects existing on tree will in short time
completely cover it with the scale When the
female becomes fixed and covers itself with scale
it soon gives birth to its young, which remain
beneath the scale until they become matmed
sufficiently to crawl The scale becomes loosened
and the young come forth, begin to wander, and
complete their destiny, Thus it can be seen that
few insects can in a single season do a great
amount of damage if allowed to so unmolested
1t IS during this migratory stage that they are
easiest TO kill
The best possible time to apply remedies for
San Jose scales is during the dormant season or
while the leaves are off, and the two periods for

this are either in the fall shortly after the leaves
fall, or in the spring before the buds burst. TIL,
best results obtained by spraying the tree
twice, making one spraying during each period
that Is to say, to be sure of the best results in
spraying for San Jose scale, the trees should bt
sprayed in the fall after the leaves drop, and
again in the spring before the buds burst. The
work should be doneproperly and thoroughly The
wash should be sprayed evenly over all portion.
of the tree.
1t is important to apply remedies after the
leaves have fallen, because insects are feeding un
til the weather becomes very cold, and remedie.
applied now will prevent injury to the tree,
which would result from that additional period
oG attack.
The general and best means of applying insect
cade is by means of "A spraying apparatus, because
1t can lie thrown over all parts of the tree and
applied evenly. If portion of the tree as large
as the end of ones finger be missed the tree may
yet be infested, and from this small area fatal
attack will come later. The kind of material OF
insecticide to use depends upon the number OF
trees to be treated, for only few trees the fol
lowing are recommended in order:
Kerosene or lamp oil, undiluted, upon apple
pear and ounce, and made into a 40 per cent
emulsion for plum. Use other winter applications
upon peach, apricot and nectarine. From 30 to
40 per cent. kerosene is necessary to kill the
scale In its winter condition, and this will kill
the last named trees. A 40 per cent. kerosene
emulsion can be used upon plum trees, while a
mere mixture of 40 per cent with water cannot
be used upon the same trees with safety Strange
TO say, the kerosene will injure the trunk and
larger branches before it will injure the twgs or
buds. 1t should never be permitted to run down
into the soil as it Injuries the roots. This may
be prevented by tying cloths around the trunks
at the base, or by heapng loose earth around it
and removing after the application. Also. it has
been proven that oil that flashes at $50 degree

trees, as the 100 degree oil will produce injury.
The cheapest remedy is the lime, sulphur and
salt wash. This does not injure any part of any
kind of tree to which it is applied, and is known
by actual test to be an effective means of sup
pressing the pest 1t is the cheapest substance
that can be used with satisfaction. 1t has the
disadvantage of being disagreeable to handle, and
the necessary prolonged boiling in making. Tho

During the present season there has been in al
most every county of the State, especially in the
southern portions, extensive young orchards so
completely devastated by pests that their own
ers are pulling them from the ground and burn
ing them. Upon the premises of some of our
most highly educated and thoughtful citizens
trees have been found dead and others dying
from the attacks OF insect pests, where their
presence had not formerly been suspected.
1t is useless to think TO get. rid of such pests
by destroying the trees they infest as they are
too general IN their occurrence throughout the
country to be eNterminated in this way. Ex-
termination rs now out of the question. The
method of the future is suppression. Instead of
hoping to wipe out diseases and pests, we must
try TO hold them in check and produce good
crops, not by virtue of their absence, as former
ly, but in spite OF their presence. This means
that IN the near future every man who expects
to produce fruit or any other crops that are at
tackled by insects and fungi will need to under
stand the subject and reap the fruits Of his la.
bors through skill and the teachings of applied
science.
The day of new methods is immediately be-
fore the fruit grower and farmer. The old days
of generazed farming and fruit growing are rap
idly passing, due to changed conditions, among
the agencies OF which are the advent and alarm
ing increase of devastating plant diseases and
pests,
The San Jose scale louise is considered the most
pernicous scale insect known in this country. 1t
is the duty OF every farmer and fruit grower to
familarize himself with its habits and methods
OF suppression. The word San Jose" is derived
from the Spanish language, and consequently it
is not pronounced as spelled in English. The
j" has the sound OF "h" and the "e" should
be given the sound of our long "a" as in "ate."
Thus the word is pronounced "San" (rhyming
with "ran') Hoo Gay" with the accent on the
second syllable.
Until recently the San Jose scale louise has
been confined to the Pacific coast but has ex-
tended, in few Years time, over the entire
United States. Plants imported from Japan
would seem to point to that country as its orig.
inal home, although it has been known to exist
in Chile and Australia. Its advent in the East
was first noticed near Charlottesville, Va, about
ten years ago. The spread of the pest has been

secured the truant hat and pinned it securely on
