Spray Or Destroy The Usage
Orange HEDGE.

Now that the busy season for spray
ing fruit trees for the San Jose scale il
about at an end for this spring, the
spray nozzle. or the axe should be di.
rected toward the Usage orange hedge.
The writer has not examined an Usage
orange hedge in this State that was not
infested with the San Jose scale. 1t is
therefore necessary to spray the hedge
il it is desired to keep it on the farm
as regularly as the fruit trees for this
pest. In many districts you will find
fruit growers treating their trees for
this pest while they themselves or their
nearby neighbors, who may not be di-
rectly Interested in fruit, keep an Usage
orange hedge around the farm which is
not being treated and which stands as
a menace to the vicinity in harboring
the scale. This is manifestly unfair,
and every person who maintains an
Usage orange hedge on his premises
should consider it as duty to himself
and his neighbors to spray the hedge OF
destroy it. The writer believes the
Usage orange hedge to be dear fence
under any circumstances, for it is fence
and not fence; costly tokeep in shape
and draws fertility of soil for some dis
tance on each side.
The law condemning infestations of
scale will be enforced in every case of
infested hedge as far as our limited
funds will permit. But we ask the CO.
operation Of every farmer in the county
to aid in abolishing this nuisance OF our
State, believing that the sooner the
Usage orange hedge is gotten rid of the
better, both for the farm and for the
farmers pocketbook. Especially is this
true in localities where fruit trees are
grown and where every effort is being
made to control the ravages of the San
Jose scale.
