THE CoIToNY MAPLE SCALE.

The Cottony maple scale is now
making its appearance as a very con-
spicuous and destructive pest on
maple trees grown as shade and or
namental trees on the streets of
many boroughs in Pennsylvania. To
one of the many inquiries on this
subject, Professor H. A. Surface, of
Harrisburg, replied as follows:
Dear Sir:-The insects which you
sent on your maple twigs are the
Cottony maple scale. The eggs will
hatch in June, and the very minute
pink insects will crawl over the
branches and fix themselves and form
protecting scales over themselves,
and feed by injecting a poisonous
saliva into the tree and sucking out
the modified sap by means of long
proboscis, just as a mosquito attacks
US.
They grow until fall, when they
lay large mass of very small pink
eggs, and protect them by putting
over them quite a quantity of a cot
ton-like substance. The appearance
of the infested twigs is very much
as though they had grains of pop
corn attached to them, and has JUS
titled one correspondent in calling it
popcorn on a stick 1t is owing to
this cottony appearance that this in
sect, which attacks the maple tree as
one of it's most serious pests, is call
ed the Cottony maple scale.
THE eggs remain under these
cotton-like tufts until the early part
of summer, when the little pink in
sects emerge and crawl over the
bark, being then, in common with
other young insects, called bark
lice and thus completing their life
cycle.
"Owing to the fact that these are
suctorial insects and injure the
trees only by inserting the long
sharp proboscis through the outer
covering and into the living tissue,
injecting a poisonous saliva, and
sucking out the modifiedsap, Just as
mosquito attacks us, it is impossi-
Bile to destroy the pest by arsenical
applications which could be placed
only on the outside of the bark. For
this reason practical remedies must
consist of what are called contact
sprays rather than arsenites. These
may include strong soap solutions,
and a very strong tobacco decoc-
tion, kerosene emulsion (about ten
per cent?, or dilute lime-sulfur SOL
ution. Perhaps the best remedy is
one pound of whale oil soap in five
or six gallons of water. An effec-
tive application is one pound of soft
soap or brown laundry soap in two
or three gallons of water.
"The date of application is very
important. This is to be made after
the eggs hatch and when the young
are moving or crawling over the
bark and leaves. AS with all scale
insects a thorough application of
mild contact insecticide, which is not
strong enough to injure the leaves,
will prove particularly effective at
this special time in the life of the
pest. Two thorough applications of
a spray at proper strength, applied
at an interval of a week, should be
enough to clean up the trees. If
any pests should remain alive, they
can be killed after the leaves drop in
the fall by using a strong contact
spray. the same as for San Jose
scale"

Superintendent of Salt LAX,

HOLDS TENDENCIES OF
TODAY ARE IMMODES'
Exploitation of Latest Styles
Schools Humiliates Many of
the Students.

ID. n, Christensen, city superintendent.
OF schools, is in favor Of dress reforu
for girls leaving the eighth grade an,
IN the high school. He deplores th,
tendency of latter day "fashion" int,
the realms of the immodcst. for on
thing, and he believes that
stricter regulation of school girl dresI
would put the more industriou
student, often the most poorly dressed
on more Of An equality in the eye,
OF her fellow students, with less promis
ing, though perhaps more elaboratel,
dressed students.
Mr., Christensen SAYS that no deApit,
action looking TO dress reform has bee,
taken, so far as he knows, since uea
the close of the school season this wear
when over 200 mothers met nj IN,
Bryant school and formulated a set a
resolutions, calling for simpler dresa
which was presented to the board a
education. No action was taken bv III,
board at that time, though the auestio,
is still open for discussion by the men,

idea, as ! understand if, is not 10 estah

merely TO check the eXtravagant idea
of dress prevailing today, especial
among those who can afford to take nd

girls TO dress neatly and modestly, We
withal, attractively. The low.cut dres
for school wear should be placed unde
the ban. What girls wish to wear a
other times is their own affair, and th
affair of their parents, but certainl
exaggerated ideas Of costumes such q
we see today should be barred for pub

"It is but human, too, that girls (

the public generally must realize tina
there are numerous benefits which ma
be expected to follow the success OF
