San Jose Scale.

Many growers are now busy spray ing their orchards for San Jose scale, which has been discovered in the vicinity of Sloan Springs. While this ts a great pest and one to be greatly feared. it has been proven over and over that the little insects can be killed by spraying, yet if they are let alone they will soon ruin fruit trees There is no reason for any great alarm if growers act promptly and a good percentage of them are taking m the work in real earnest at this place. The scale seems to be well scattered all over the fruit district, the great danger however being, that growers, not knowing anything about the little pest, let it get the start of them They multiply rapidly and a few scales on tree now will com pleteIy cover it in a season. Some use the Scale Destroyer, a soluble oil that does the work, others use the regular lime sulphur mixture that is q sure destroyer The San Jose scale not only destroys the tree by sucking the saps, but it gets on the fruit and simply spells it, so that It must be controlled in order to have good fruit.

Judge E. w. Winfield of the second divison of the Circuit Court Thursday rendered his opinion in the State Board of Charitable Institutions custer suit, deciding that the governor of Ar kansas, though he has the power to ap- point, has not the right to remove from office members of the board.

The new ap- pointees are Walter Bruce, Aylmer Flenniken, A. l.. Hayes and k. c. Par sons. The old members and the ones whom Judge Winfield has decided are the rightful members of the board are E. C. Matlock, J. l.. Davis, C. E. Cruce and T. J. Williamson.
