sure from 100 to 15o pounds to the square inch. With this pressure 1t IS quite necessary to have all lead hose of the very best obtain able and the connections in good condition. The liquid must be driven through the nozzle so as to make a very fine mist in order to cover the most surface perfect ly and economically.
 It would be more satisfactory to have tue pump equipped with good pressure guage and also plenty of leverage on the handle so that the pressure could be kept up good and strong. If the pres sure is kept up properly and reg ularly and these points are watch ed hand pump is as efficlent as a power machine.
 The conclusion will naturally be: Spray thoroughly, covering every particle of the infested trees with solution strong enough to destroy an adult scale. While the tree is in its dormant stage, soon as the leaves drop in early fall and again in early spring before the leaves appear and make sure that all parts oi the tree are we'll covered. Bt thorough in all preparations and careful in all application should be the motto of every orchardist

sulphur and lime as fungicide to be used aS summer wash 10 1 be used when trees are in full leaf is quite significant in the fight of the San Jose Scale louse. Of course 1t must be applied in a very dilute form at this time and would not affect the fully de- yeloped scale, but while the louse IS still crawling and before 1t has developed the SC lie covering. It is quite probable that it would be easily even in very dilute pro- portion.
 The sulphur llrne may be pre- pared at home by boiling Is ib sulphur and 15 ib fresh stone lime Ill quantity of water placed Ill q vessel and boiled either over fire or by steam for 45 minutes to an hour and half. It Is pos sible 1n thls way to get enough sulphur into the solution so that the mixture may be diluted to make 50 gallons of wash that will be effective. Great care, however, should be given i'll get ting correct weights and meas urements in the preparation. Right here IS where many make q mistake. For convenience they take so many llandsful of sulphur and so many chunks of lime You must weigh the sulphur and lime and measure water accurate ly.
 Another formula in use is the sulphur and lime with caustic soda added. Of course the basis of this is sulphur and will there fore destroy the scale in the same manner as the sulphur lime wash. l have heard of other remedies which are claimed to do the work. Among them is caustic soda Concentrated lye) in proportions pound soda to three gal. water and l pound soda to five gal. water. I have been uu- able to find any authority on this formula in any .proportionate mixture. An authority from the Connecticut station, however, says to get a solution of caustie soda of sufficient strength to de- stroy the scale will be detriment- al to the tree and buds. From all reliable authorities we learn this that sulphur and lime is the most satisfactory wash for San Jose scale now known, so why not stay with it until We are as sured that there is something more effective.
 METHOD OF APPLYING. The first essential thing i'll the application of these washes Is a pump capable of carrying a pres

louse completely with filmlike covering the louse may be suffo- eated. Therefore mixture with an oil basis has proven most ef- fective. There are several brands of oils on the market which are readily soluble in water and re- main easily in suspension. So in 1 the use of oll as the insecticidt 1t k only necessary to have Il snf1i- Cient percentage of oil thorough l Iy solvent in water. This will do the work satisfactorily. How ever. the use of oil IS discouraged by many authorities, who claim d continued use of an oil basic wash is injurious to the health of the tree as II too completely keeps the air from the bark. The wash most generally i'll use and recommended by authorities IS sulphur and lime in solution, and there is ill tile market con- centrated solution of sulphur and lime which IS very convenient way to handle, and is also effect i've when properly applied, with proportions sufficiently strong with sulphur in solution. Fms IS a caustic preparation which has a tendaney to dissolve the scale, kill by contact and also by sutfocation.

As factory equipped for the preparation of these mater ials with their knowledge of the chemical actions in uniting them gives them a positive knowledge of the results to be expected and are as in good condition to pro- duce quite a uniform product.

THE SAN JOSE
 SCALE PEST. SOMETHING OF ITS ORIGIN
 AND HISTORY. HOW TO COMBAT THE EVIL. Paper Read Before SpringdaIe Horticultural Society by
 D. E. Richer.
HOW TO COMBAT THE EVIL.

In order to most successfully fight all enemy It IS necessary to be quite we'll acquainted with it's life history, manner of reproduc- ton, mode of existence, and the extent of it's migration.
 It is my purpose i'll this paper to treat each of the above sub jects briefly before suggesting a remedy for successfully spraying for it's satisfactory control.
 The insect IS d small louse, of yellowish color and when young It is capable of moving about very short distance. It was brought to tie United States sup posedly from the Orient oil nurs- cry stock. It is known to have flourlshed i'll the San Jose Valley Ill California as early as 1873. and in 1880 II was gwen the name by Prof. J. II. Comsteek, E.ntomologist To the Department of Agriculture in Washington, the San Jose Scale because of its preselanee Ill San Jose Valley. It has since been proven to be native of that part of China lying northwest of Pekin. This small louse IS born, instead of being matched from all egg as are most of its kind, which have been layed by an insect of an entirely different specie.
 A slngle female louse may give birth to over 400 young during her existence and the young louse becomes an adult and cap able of reproduction at the age of four weeks, so 1t can be seen that the rapid spreading on in- fected trees is inevitable. It is claimed that over three billion two hundred million ice may spring from one female in the short period of single season. The young lice crawl about upon the trees and twigs until they find suitable place to locate. It IS at thls stage that they are easily carried by birds, grass hoppers or on bodies of any of the larger insects as we'll as on horses which rub against the limbs during cultivation or upon the clothing of men. This seems to be the modes of infection from one tree to another, agreed by most authorities. Even i'll in- fected orchards in our own local ity we will find tree literally covered with the louse and trees in the immediate vicinity may not show trace, and perhaps in the extreme distant part of the orchard we will find another tree similarly infested. When this young louse selects it's place, It introduced it's bill into the bark and IS ready tor it's work. In this position 1t lives its life. In a short time 1t loses It's legs and small aslen grey colored disc like scale forms from q waxen secretion from its back making a complete covering and protection 1 for the louse. It is now at the age when 1t is capable of repro ducing It's kind.
 THE METHOD FOR DESTRUCTION.
 The fact that 1t is so well pro- tected by its covering and that 1t gets it's food from the saps in the trees, makes it impossible to de- stroy 1t with an arsenite as We can the coddling moth worm, curculia and other insect pests, via the poison taken into the stomach with the food. It tseems that the only method for destruc- ton IS suffocation. This louse breathes through small openings under the ribs and by using a material that will cover the

NO. ] ID MAKE REGULAR STOPS. WHILE NO. 6 WILL STOP FOR THROUGH PASSENGERS. THIS IS AGREEMENT MADE. General Passenger Agent Hilton Visits Springdale and Ad.
 iusts Matters.
THIS IS AGREEMENT MADE.

The southbound cannon ball, known as No. ;, IS to make reg ular stops in Springdale, and No. 6, the north-bound cannon ball. is to stop to take on passengers for St. Louis and points beyond and to discharge passengers from Paris, Texas, and points beyond.
 This concession was made to the town Monday morning by A. Hilton, general passenger agent of the Frisco, in a conference with tile committee representing the town. The new order will go into effect within two or three day just as soon as Mr. Hilton can return to St. Louis and issue the necessary orders.
 Mir. Hilton was to have been here Friday or Saturday, but on idd He "iiGq hdNo Ldne t1dt lie would be unable to be here until Monday. He came in yes terday morning, accompanied by L. w. Price, of Joplin, division passenger agent, and at eight o'clock held conference with l
 the committee III the parlor at the Arcade Hotel.
 MT. Hilton IS pleasant gentle man to meet, and he heard the complaint of the committee very courteously. After some discus sion MT. Hilton agreed to make the change as indicated above.
 In his conversation with the committee Mr. Hilton said that some very hard things had been said about the Frisco on account of its diseontinuing stops for 5 and 6 at this place, and stated 1t was always the policy of the road to do the very best 1t could by all towns along the line and that in order to care for it's general business 1t was some times found necessary to do things that would appear to be a discrimination against some town, but such was not the intention. He staned that the Frisco want ed to help Springdale, and as evi. dence of that fact suggested that data concerning the town and the surrounding country be furnish cd his office and that the eom- pany would publish it in their | literature.
 Mir. Hilton's visit to Spring- dale ought to result in good to the town, aside from the cousid- erations which brought him here. This was his first visit here. and he has seen something of the town and what we have, and and has brought the Frisco rail- road closer to the town, and the town has gotten in closer touch with the road.
 Messrs. Hilton and Price, ac- companied by Mayor Lane and and Chas. F. Renner, drove out to Tontitown after the confer ence and were guests of Father Bandini for a short time, where they were very pleasantly enter tained. Messrs. Hilton and Price went south on. the 12:S5 train.
 While some are disposed to censure the committee for not in- sisting on No. 6 making regular stops, 1t is conceded by every one that the service which it Is pro posed to give us will be big iln- provement over what we have been getting, and the probabili- ties are that 1t will be only a question of time when this train will also make regular stops. | -------

FROM A MAN WHO
 HAS BEEN THERE.
A Reply to Mir. Hoole's Recen,
 Article on Southern Texas.

Article on SOutnefn IexaS.
 News readers will remember a wonderfully glowing pen picture of Southern Texas, which ap- peared in this paper few issues back, written by w. K. Hoole, a former resident of Springdale. We have received a reply to MT. Hoole's article, written by a former resident of that section of Texas concerning which Mir. Hoole writes. but who now re- sides in this locality. The article is as follows:
 see letter Ill your paper from Mir. ". K. Hoole, from Dimmitt County, Texas, which gives the locality of Dimmitt County as being southwest of San Antonio about 100 miles. Well, as lived at Beeville, III Bee County, % miles south of San Antonio, you see I was not far from Dim met County, and as l was in d number of those counties down there l think l have q pretty good idea of their productive qualities.
 Now, Mr. Editor, 1t is not my purpose to run down that country or to bolster it up above what 1t IS, so shall try to give d correct idea of it. I will first give it's good qualities. The winters are warm and fife and the nights are cool the year round. Figs seem to do we'll, onions grow tolerably we'll, bunch beans do fairly well, garden truck grows To some eX- tent, but not like 1t does here.
 It Is dry, sandy country and in summer the mercury Is often l1o degrees in the shade, and the south or trade winds blow so steady from the southeast that all the brush leans one way, and those in the gardening business often cut brush and stick It down Tn rows across the garden to pro- tect the young plants from being cut off by the sand. and in towns of any size like Beeville you will see four-tifths of the vegetables are shipped there from the north. What vegetables are grown there are so willy they are not good they are just like vegeta bles here that lay at the store doors d week. And now as to the water. There is no good water down III that country. It is warm as dish water, no matter how deep the we'll IS, that makes no difference. 1 have drawn water from we'll sixty feet deep and the water would be full of wiggletails, and l have been told that the water from those arteSian wells would in d few years kill the land till 1t would not raise anything, but l do not know as to that. But one thing certain, 1 lived iu Missouri long enough that when anybody leaves this Washington County, Ark, and writes back that they have found the land of Goshen, have got to be cited, for l will make small wager that this county does produce more in one year than Dimmit County, Texas, does in five.
