White Fly determination.

White Fly determination.
Mr.. O. w. Conner, writing to the
Reporter-Star says:
In order that wrong impression
may not be created as regards white
fly being in groves adjacent to the
Ocklawaha Nurseries, I wish you to
correct that part of your article ap-
pearing in the issue of the Reporter
Star of September 18th. My state
ment to you, was to the effect that the
fly had been combated at points nearest
Tangerine, in order to cut it off in its
progress in our direction and prevent
its getting started in Tangerine, and it
was in this connection that I said I had
used Target Brand" as a preventa
tive. | wish to state that [ have used
it also for scale and find it to be the
best preparation for that pest which is
so apt to give us trouble in Our pine
land groves.
In relation to white fly, I believe the
further spread of this insect can be
prevented by spraying the first trees
infested in each new locality, when
only few trees are infested and that
is the cheapest and most effective cure
for often or rather always dollar or
SO spent in spraying when the fly first
shows up, would prevent its spread
over whole community. The method
have used around Zellwood and
other places successfully, is to first
spray the trees thoroughly, commenc-
ing at the outside and working toward
the center OF infested places, to kill all
fly on the wing and such of larvae and
pupae as can be reached with the spray
at that time. After this first spraying,
cut out the small branches from in
side of trees and all branches that reach
the ground. This enables me at the
next spraying, three weeks later, to
send a hose inside the tree and spray
thoroughly wet the under side of the
leaves. This, when the fly is thick
can be followed up three weeks later
and the grove will be free of the fly, if
spraying is thoroughly DONE The
finer the mist thrown into the tree the
better the. effect, but care must be
taken to cover all the new growth, and
that part Of the tree close to the
ground on the north and west side
of the trees, where the greater part OF
the fly will attack the tree the first
year of their Investment. For summer
use on orange and grapefruit trees I
advise the use of Target Brand in So
luton of l to 40; if fly is bad, the first
application can be 1 to 35. On tan
gerlne trees the solution should never
be stronger than 1 to 35 in winter,
and l to 40 in summer. In winter
season after November 1st, the appli-
cation can be made on orange and

Reception Was Costly.

Mrs. Augustus Heaton, of Washing
ton, some time ago changed from the
Episcopalean to the Roman Catholic
church and by way of celebrating
the event decided to give a reception
in honor of the bishop of her diocese.
She decided, however that her already
famous drawing-room was not suffi-
GENTLY resplendent to serve as place
OF reception for the bishop who was to
come and congratulate her. There
was yet time in which to make the
room more attractive and Nine. Hea-
ton, with true artistic taste, had
everything taken out of the room ex-
cept the old furniture and few art
objects. The walls before had been
covered with tapestry but that was
not enough for a reception for the
bishop. After much thought she
finally decided on drab silk wall COW
ering. What with this and other ex-
tensive changes in the room without
the purchase of furniture Mrs. Hea-
ton got rid of $4,000.
