TO KILL SCALE.

SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. ls.-Somc
months ago a parasite which kills
the purple scale, deadly foe Of or.
ange trees In southern California, was
found in China. Many OF It's eggs were
sent to this city by an agent of the
State Horticultural Department Of
California, but unfortunately the egg
did not hatch. This failure suggested
an attempt TO bring the parasites here
alive and in shape to do business so a
number of orange trees were shipped
TO China from this state, and upon
their arrival there they were trans.
ported several hundred miles into the
interior, to the province that Is the
home Of the enemy Of the purple scale.
Then the parasite made its home in the
imported trees which were then taken
back to the sea coast and after a time
were placed on a steamer fo1 San
Francisco. They reached here on the
last steamer in good condition after
their long pourney by sea and land,
and are now being watched with con.
stant. care. II the parasites on them
