San Jose Scale In New York.

Although there are some apparent
contradictions, the present conditions
favorable to fruit growers than OBJ
tanned at this time last year. On
the whole, the fruit has not been so
badly spotted, and there has not been
the extensive breeding and the rapid
and wholesale spread OF the scale at
this late season to uninfested trees
and orchards, which last year so alarm
ed fruit growers in many communities
where this pest is well established.
This behavior of the scale is undoubt-
eddy the result of the late spring,
which checked the growth of the trees
and retarded the appearance of the
young scales. The dry summer has
also been favorable to the treatments
with the lime-sulphur wash.
AT Geneva the young, active scales
did not make their appearance this
year till July 5. when normally they
may be found about June 1922. Other
observers in this community did not
detect evidences of breeding on their
trees till July 8 and IL. While it
is true that the summer has made up
for some of the lost time, due to a late
spring, still the crops have been and
are still backward. The scale, | be-
lieye, has shared this same experiences
and consequently there have not been
up to the present time, as many gen
erations of offspring as usually oh.
tain. Because of this reduction in
broods, there has not been SO far the
number of young scales to infest the
fruit and the bark. If the weather
should change and there should be
warm spell which should be prolonged
the scale will continue to breed and te
spread, and to aggravate present in
juries, as neglected vines and trees
are quite alive with this pest
In making these statements, I do
not wish to be understood as saying
that the scale has not been destruc-

creased injuries over those of last
year to the trees, and there has beer
enough sporting Of the fruit to render
much of it unstable But as compar
