SCHOOL GARDENING IN THE
GRADES.
(By Miss Estella Crowder.)
PART SIX.

Other enemies of the orchardist
that should be studied byevery school
child are the scale insects. These in
sects are of chief concern because OF
the difficulty in Kidding orchards OF
them.
These scale bugs greatly resemble
plant lice in their mode of life and
reproduction. They are commonly
found as minute scales on the bark
and leaves and fruit of their food
plants. Like plant lice they are par
asitic and obtain their food by pier
cling the bark and sucking the sap.
In some instances the scale seen
is the louise itself but in the greater
number of species the scale is pro-
tective coat which is secreted by the
insect and under which the insect
lives. These scales are made up of
shielded skins and waxy secretion
and are sometimes valuable in COM
merce Cochineal, carmine and shell
lac are commercial articles which
are derived from certain species of
the scale insect. However, the value
of these scales some of the more
most injurious insects.
With children it is best to begin
with the study of the oyster shell
scale insect as it is prevalent and
easily distinguished. The children
can, by hunting over the trees, and
shrubs and other plants of their gar
dens, bring in enough specimens for
study. These scales are usually
found on the pear, apple and cur
rant
Late in May the eggs of the scale
insects begin to hatch and the chill
drcn can watch the tiny eggs turn
into tiny crawling specks which
swarm out over the twigs. At this
period the insects are scaleless, but
they soon settle down, pierce the
bark with their long beaks, and be-
gin to secrete scale covering. The
female never changes her location
but developes scale covering about
one-sixth of an inch long, and of an
oyster-shell shape. The males occur
as small, two-winged flies and chief
ly inhabit the leaves.
Late in August the insect depos-
it's the eggs under her scale and
then dies. The mother thus dies
that her young might be protected
by her scale covering.
There Is but one generation of
the oyster-shell scale and therefore
these insects tend rather to weaken
the plant than destroy 1t.
Various other scales will be found

lily studied by children.

The damage done by these types
is not usually serious and the scale
insects could be passed by as but
mildly detrimental were it not for
one species. The San Jose scale, i'm
ported from foreign lands, is one of
our most pernicious insects and is a
menace to the best horticultural in
terests of the whole country. Every
child should learn to recognize the
San Jose scale.
This insect was introduced into
the Santa Jose Valley by means of
trees imported from Chill, Within
three years the insect became rec
ognized as dangerous scale but by
that time it had been widely spread
by means of cuttings, scions and
fruit.
The louse is very small and is
If allowed to spread it is dangerous
beyond estimate as the young is
brought forth alive and four or five
generations can occur within year.
1t has been estimated that a single
scale can give rise to billions of off
spring within a season
Another tendency on the part of
the San Jose scale renders it doubly
injurious. 1t seems to like equally
well large number of food plants,
being at home on the apple, appri-
cot, cherry, currant, gooseberry,
peach, plum, ounce, rose, raspberry
spirea, almond, lindon, persimmon,
elm, Usage, orange, English walnut,
pecan, alder and willow Besides
injuring these trees by devouring
the sap, the San Jose scale also poi
sons the plant so that a plant but
lightly Infested has sirkly arrear.
ance, and is usually barren
An interesting lesson fo" children
is to determine how the scale is dis
tricuted. BY examining other in
sects which crawl upon the infested
plants the children will find that
these insects can carry the young
scales to other plants. This one in
tested tree can become an evil to an
entire neighborhood
AS with other insects studied the
children will seek to find remedies
for the removal of the scale insects.
In these experiments the pupils will
suggest using the washes as used
for the plant lice These washes
should be tried although they will
prove unsuccessful as the scale COW
erings protect the insects from the
oily and soapy washes so detrimental
to the plant lice. Fumigation with
various acids will next be tried and
with success as far as small trees and
cuttings are concerned. Hydro cy-
anic acid is both useful and practical
in this capacity.
But as both these methods are fu-
tile on larger trees the children will
at last turn to the scales natural
enemies. The two kinds found by
the pupils will be small parasitic
flies and various species of the lady
beetle. BY protecting these beetles
and introducing them to infected
trees a great number of plants can
be saved.
These lessons should be under
taken by children of the advanced
grades and should be reviewed and
added to from time to time 80 that
they will have good knowledge of
some prtcaical workings of the farm
when they are ready to begin work
as farmers. So with knowledge of
the codling moth, plant lice and scale
insects every boy ought to be able
to keep his fathers orchard and
fruit to the standard until he can, by
ownership, raise them to the highest
value.

v. 1. 8. MEETING.

The V. /. s. held busy business
session last Monday at the Baptist
church.
The treasurer, Mrs. Neil Boyle re-
ported $290.40 in the treasury. 800
of which is set apart for use in build
ing retaining wall on the Irving
school ground and will not be con-
sidered for any other purpose. The
V. l. s. is anxious to turn this amount
over to the school board, whenever
they see the way clear to begin work.
On motion of Mrs. West, a vote
of thanks was extended to entertain
ment committee and those who took
active part In the old maids conven-
tion which proved the means of add
ing munificent sum of $92.25 to the
mile of pennies fund. Mrs. Gagon as
president OF the society, extended a

izens Of Blackfoot are ready to sup
port them in the work undertaken.
Mrs. Trego was instructed to make
this expression of appreciation on the
part of the society, for all services
rendered, known to the public
through The Idaho Republican. Az
ter discussion 1t was moved by Mrs.
Eldredge that the name Grove City
Cemetery" should be suggested to the
town council as an Appropriate one
by which the cemetery should be
known hereafter. The motion was
unanimously adopted. Mrs. Gagon re-
ported having appointed Adolph
Johnson as chairman of water and
ditch construction and the society
granted Mrs. Gagon the power to
draw on the treasury for necessary
funds for this work. Rumage sale
was postponed until fall, but the COM
mittee retained to collect articles
along through the summer. 1t was
decided to accept the proposition Of
Congressman French and have a
weather bureau established at Black
foot. Peter G. Johnson was made
chairman of pole committee" to
erect pole in suitable place on
which to raise the flag.
Mrs Wasley moved to set apart
May 15 for the next cleanup day at
the cemetery. All those who did not
find the last day convenient one
for them, are requested to come to
the cemetery grounds, Friday, May
18th, with suitable tools for working
at 10 a. m. A good lunch with hot
coffee will again be provided. The
Jubilee Singers entertainment was
talked OF at length, and those who
had heard all or a part Of these sing
ers, were emphatic in their praise of
the entertainment. Each member of
the v. I. s. was appointed commit
tee to boost for the Jubilee Singers
because the entertainment is to be
one OF the best ever seen in Black
foot, and also because the " I. 8.
needs the 25 per cent they are to
receive for the boosting. This en-
will be at the Armory
next Tuesday night, May IL.
After discussing the advantage of
4 suitable room down town for the
use Of civic matters, church dinners,
teas, bazars, social gatherings and all
v. l. 8. meetings, committee was
appointed to further consider the ad-
of securing such room,
recommend certain conditions and re-
port at the next meeting.

NEW TELEPHONE
SERVICE IN OPERATION
Local Company Put Forth Every
Energy PossibIer

Now that we have some assur-
ance of getting a telephone service
in this city from company that
knows how to do things and guar
antees promptness, our city coun-
Gil should not be slow in granting
it franchise. The new company
is composed of local men who
know of the miserable service in
flictcd OH the city and county by
the Sunset company and it is be-
cause of this deficient service that
we have the new company, and i,
will of course have only an up to-
date system, otherwise, it would
not enter the field. The people
have been patient a long time and
their patience has worn thread
bare, indeed their patience ceases
longer to be a virture, and they
hail with delight the coming of the
new company.
We are reliably informed that
the new company anticipates hav-
ing it's lines, both in and out of the
city, covering every section of the
valley, ready for operation by Oct.
1st. From observations, we are
led to believe that the people will
make no mistake in doing business
with the new organization.
