The SAN JOSE SCALE.


Its Origin and Probably Best Form
uIa Tor KrAdieating Il.
A meeting Of those interested in
trees was held 10 the County Hall on
Saturday afternoon addressed by Pro-
fessor Dickerson OF the state agrieul-
tural experiment station.
He said that the scale is the most
important subject to the fruit raisers
of New Jersey to-day. 1t is a little in-
sect which when full grown is about as
large as a pin head, and yellow in color
which rests upon the bark of tree
and sucks the fruit juices through its
long beak. 1t is covered with scale
for protection and gets its name in
that way.
1t originally came from the interior
of China, is half grown at this season
Of the year and natures in warmer
weather. The male develops two wings
and comes out in June. A month lat
ter another crop Of larvae is out and it
continues tOfapidly propagate. 1t is
carried about from tree to tree by in
sects, birds OF animals, which pass
close enough to an infested tree to
brush the limbs, and secondly by in
.fected nursery stock.
Prof. Dickerson discussed the var
ious solutions proposed for killing the
scale and recommended the lime, sui
phur and salt solution as the best APP
piled with a spray pump of consider
able power.
The experiment. station he said
would do all in its power to assist in
destroying the scale. The legislature
has passed a law making nursery own
ers sell only clean stock and the farm
er should keep his own trees in shape
and persuade his neighbor to take care
of his trees or cut them down. Itwas
brought out that the law allows I'M
fected trees to be cut down much as
tuberculosis cows are killed.
After the address there was an in
formal discussion during which it was
brought out that forest trees are in
fected and that the cottony maple
scale is at work in Morristown, and
measures were suggested for help.
Secretary Ely told of conditions
about the county and emphasized the
need of combined effective effort. 1t
was the general sentiment that the
law should be enforced and Mr. Ely
agreed to take up cases reported to
| him

ANOTHER FAMINE APPEAL.

rev. E. Fairbanks Again soIicits Aid
For tho starving.
Rev. Edward Fairbanks, missionary in
India, well-known in Morristown, who
applealed with good results TO our
people during the last famine, is now
compelled to renew his call for assist
ance. Mrs Fairbanks it will be re-
membered, was Miss Minnie Caskey,
and Mrs. E. T Caskey, her mother is
now with her in India. All contribu-
tions for this purpose can be sent or
hended to r. G. Caskey, at the First
National Bank, and will be forwarded
at once. The appeal follows
yADALA, BOMBAY PRESIDENCY,
INDIA, February 10, 1906.
Dear Friends in MorristOwn ~:
Twice during famines in this part OF
India have had occasion to appeal TO
the people of MOrriStOWn for aid, and
each time have received a generous re-
sponSe, the local papers cordially help
ing in the cause. Famine in India is
no longer novelty, rather an old st0-
ry but nevertheless a serious fact
The regular rains from June to Oc-
tOber we're largely failure. OF what
ever fell advantage was taken. A ten
to twenty per cent. crops was in most
places the best result. This crop,
though very scant, has served thus fal
to give work to some; sewing, weed
ing, gardening, reaping. Up TO the
present this has been sufficient to
keep off actual starvation. But there
is now literally no work for at least Is
per cent. of the population. No work
means no wages, and no wages means
no ability to buy food, for there is
nothing in the average family TO fall
back upon, no clothes, no ornaments,
no money, nothing except Two OF
three brass dishes that in extreme
need will be pawned for a few cents
apiece and that is all.
Prices Of grain have risen. They are
three times what they were last yeal
at this time and then the price OF
grain was above the average. Failure
of needed rains in other parts of India
has added to the c0StlineSS OF grain
products. Prices are still rising.
What is being done? Government
ever ready with their carefully drawn
up famine code, have already opened
relief works. The numbers at such
works are rapidly rising. Lord Rad
stock in England has started a large
famine fund. No doubt other import.
ant movements are on foot to help in
this crisis. But experience, through
two famines has shown US that organ.
lied relief in some individual cases
CANNOT accomplish what privately ad'
ministered charity can. La the last
famine we were enabled by funds from
England and America TO help on tic
the relief works those who were una
BILE to reach the camp and support
themselves until their first pay day
The wage on Government works is
barely enough to keep off starvation
there is nothing for clothes or cover.

found that there are many cases of ex

abled to help such through our Christ
ian agents, such as pastors and preach

needs that we would look TO you fo
aid in the present crisis. Will yot
help? Yours faithfully,
k. FAIRBANKS.
