The following is from c. L.

lSdNSS ana produces very serious
effects on the vitality Of the plant.
Frequently the assimilation by the
plant of nourishment through the
leaves is almost entirely stopped.
The growth of the plant becomes
greatly checked, the fruit does not
ripen properly, is deficient in
quality and size, and keeps poorly,
involving the additional expense
Of washing before it can be packed
and shipped.
The sooty mould is a vegetable
or fungi growth and is produced
almost altogether in Florida by
this insect. q have observed the
same growth produced by scale in
this county. In California the
black scale produces IT'D
The life round of the insect
briefly, is as follows. The winter
is passed in the mature larvae
stage, as a thin, elliptical, scale
like object on the under side of the
leaves.
Early in the spring the trans
formation to the pupal stage occurs,
This stage differs but slightly from
the larvae in appearance. The
adults begin to appear by the
middle Of March and continue to
emerge into April,
The eggs deposited by this brood
require about three weeks for de-
velopment, Matching into larvae
from the middle of April to first Of
May.
The adults of the second brood
begin to emerge by the middle Of
June and continue to appear till
the middle Of July, Between the
middle of July and the middle of
September a third brood is de-
veloped the larvae OF which,
Matching about the last of October,
carry the insect through the
winter
The number of eggs laid by a
single female is in the neighbor-
hood Of twenty-five and they are
by placed by preference, upon new
leaves, but all Of the plant is taken
when the multiplication of the
insect makes it necessary. The
young larva is active, resembling
the larva Of a true scale
insect. The life of an adult ranges
from ten to twenty days.
The most satisfactory remedies
for this insect, as demonstrated by
the experiments of Messrs. Swingle
and Webber, are kerosene and
rosin washes. The treatment can
best be made during the winter,
between December and March,
and again if necessary in May,
and also in August or early in
Two or three APP
may be made in winter.
The application in August is made
IL the sooty mould is found to be
spreading to the fruit.
Since the insect lives on the
Under side Of the leaves almost ex-
it is Of prime importance
to see that the Under slde Is
thoroughly wetted with the spray,
and to be at all effective it is
necessary that the tree be opened
Up BY pruning. (Air and sun
light are not conducive to the
Of this insect or scale
but it delights in a dark dense
growth and hot humid atmosphere
Fumigation with hydrocyanic-acid
