DESTROYING SAN JOSE SCALE
Insect Attacks Many Different Plants
and Trees, But Particularly
Injurious to Fruit.

Most of the insects which infest or
chards injure the crop and not the
tree. The San Jose scale, however, if
permitted to run it's course, will en-
tirely destroy the orchard. While as
many as sixty-ive different plants and
trees may be attacked, the peach, ap-
pie and plum suffer the most. San
Jose scale is distributed by the ship
ment of infected nursery stock, by it's
own efforts and By man himself. as
we'll as by horses, birds and insects.
This insect is seldom seen, as it con-
ceals itself with a scaly covering from
its own body. The scale is very small,
one-twenty-fifth of an inch or less in
diameter, fiat and nearly circular in
shape, grayish, with the center raised.
Upon lifting the scale one finds a yell
lowish, soft-bodied creature without
legs or wings, but having a long, slen-
der beak with which it sucks the sap
from the tree. Thousands Of these lit
tie insects attaching themselves to
one tree will do much damage in a
single season. When found in an
orchard it should be cared for at once.
Ordinarily it can be controlled by the
use of %lime-sulphur solution, but in
case the trees are thoroughly infested
and nearly dead they should be cut
down and burned.

ladybug.

division between the head and the
body; it has long artennae, or ~feelers.
it is in all forms a vegetable feeder,
and a ravenous pest. In it's early
stages it is a small white worm, which
works underground, attacking the
roots Of plants; in it's mature stage
it is a beetle, and then it attacks the
upper part Of the plant-in leaf, BIOS
som and fruit. There are two COM
mon forms Of this pest, one a yellow"
ish green insect with - black spots
on it's wing covers, which is usually
found on fruit trees and high-growing
plants; the other somewhat smaller
In size, with stripes on it's wings, in
the place of spots, and which attacks
squash, melon and cucumber vines.
The ladybug, or ladybird, which is
the correct common name, is a differ
ent insect, about the only resemblance
between the two being that some
ladybirds are nearly the same size. as
the diabrotica. There are many species
of ladybirds, ranging from minute
specks to insects nearly three-eighthe
of an inch in lengthy land of various
colors fromsdense black to bright, red;
but of whatever size, shape or color
they are always beneficial to the agri
c%ulturist. OF the ladybirds it may be
said that they are always carniverous
and never vegetable feeders. Thei1
whole diet consists of destructive in
sects, and they are the one great
natural check upon the destructive
pests Of orchards. The two great
classes of destructive insects upo1
which the ladybird prey are scale in
sects and aphids, or plant lice, ant
these they destroy by millions.

Two Important Insects Known to

and water drainage. Soil drainage can
be improved by tilling.
During the first four or five years
all that should be expected OF the
trees is a strong, healthy and vigor-
Gus growth. If heavy early bearing
is permitted the vitality of the tree
is impaired and in some cases the
trees die from exhaustion. Previous
to setting the trees, pillow and prepare
the soil as for most field crops. A
deep and thorough blowing where the
roots of trees are to be planted is
important to loosen UP the soil for
the new feeding roots. The soil can
never be stirred deeply close to the
trees after they have been set. The
trees may be set either in the fall or
spring, but the fall is usually prefer
able. Use only very fine soil for fill
ing about the roots and set the trees
at least two rods apart, since a ma
ture apple tree sends its roots long
distances, and closer than this dis
lance will mean a struggle for plant
food and a consequent reduction OF
the fruit crop, with suffering for wa.
ter in dry weather.
Before the young apple tree is set
cut off all the roots to within six or
seven inches of the trunk and reduce
the top in like proportion. The ad'
vantage of root pruning especially
when the trees are set il the fall, is
that a callous forms at each cut, from
which many new feeding roots grow
The more new feeding roots that car
be induced to grow the more chances
the young tree will have for living
and making a vigorous growth the
first year.
Do not set out an apple orchard fol
a pasture. Grass is a better ant
cheaper forage crop. Keep all live
stock away from the trees and do no
allow the trees to become skinned O.
mutilated by the c%ultivator or othe:
farm tools. It is best to cultivate tn,
young orchard yourself and not trus
the work to the hired hand or othe
disinterested parties. '.r'>

save the Wood Ashes.

Save all of the wood ashes and use
around fruit trees as a fertilizer. Wood
ashes are especially good for peach
trees, and they will benefit all fruit
trees and vines. In using them as a
fertilizer do not place any against the
trunk of the tree, since the strong
alkali will spoil the bark. Scatter
them thinly on the soil over a circle
as big as the top of the tree. The
feeding roots run out further than the
longest branches of the tree.
