Trees that are badly infested with
the San Jose Scale appear as II they
had been busted over with ashes. II
the branches and twigs where the IN
sects are numerous be scraped with
a knife 1t will be seen that this un-
natural covering is quite easily re-
moved. coming OF In little faky
patches. Each Of the little circular
gray objects is a separate scale, each
covering a tiny yellow insect under
meath. On thickly infested branches
they often become so crowded that the
scales are piled over one another 80
that the real bark Of the tree Is not
visible at ALL Branches and tw1gs
which are only slightly or moderately
infested will not be thus completely
covered over. and the bark may be
of its ordinary color and appearance
except here and there along the
branches where the scattering scales
are found. The largest full-grown
scales are about the size Of an aver
age pinhead. They can, therefore. be
detected by any person who has In
the beginning an intelligent idea OF
the insect, has sharp eyes, and who
happens to look in the right place.
Usually the farmer or fruitgrower
does not know that there Is any SER
ious trouble until the trees begin to
die. BY that time they are covered
by tho scales and present the ashy
appearance. Then. II the owner finds
that his trouble is San Jose Scale. he
is apt to think that it is only on those
trees that present the unnatural ap-
xr,S&o In q l.
ready be on every tree in the orchard.
Such a mistake often costs the lives
Of many trees. since the owner, in
stead Of examining closely and treat
.1g every infested tree. as he should
do, simply takes out those which are
already in dying condition. and then.
because he sees no more OF similar
appearance. he imagines he has ex-
terminated 1t. when as matter of
fact other trees moderately or slightly
infested still stand In the orchard and
soon begin to die having in the mean
time spread the insect into still other
trees and so on, until the whole or
chard may be ruined.
Where the scales are not numerous
enough to crowd one another each in
dividual grows to somewhat larger size
than when they are crowded. Where
the scales are scattering along the
branches each scale Is often (but not
always) In the center Of slightly
Redeemed spot on the bark. If the
natural color Of the bark be reddish
this will not show plainly, but II the
bark be of a light green or yellow,
the reddish spots are quite conspic-
uous. In looking for scale on slightly
infested trees it may usually be more
readily found by looking for these
reddish spots than by looking for the
scale itself. but close watch must be
kept for both scales and blotches. II
such a spot be found. however, 1t
must then be examined to see II 1t
is caused by true scale-insect. for
there are certain unimportant diseases
which may have a similar effect. IT
the little gray. circular scale Is found
in the center Of the spot. and If the
scale is readily removed by scraping
gently with a knife blade or the
finger nail, then you may be pretty
sure It Is San Jose scale. and should
at once send specimens to your state
etomoRist and find out.

The Marketing OF EGGS
BY A. G. Phillips, Kansas

Thus It Is easily seen that the farm
er and the small storekeeper are both
to blame, and competition for eggs
(any kind) keeps the market flooded
with bad eggs.
A man who deliberately tries to sell
eggs which he knows are not fresh
deserves no consideration from the
people or the law, but the one who
sells eggs which are not of the best
quality simply through ignorance OF
nation as to the proper methods to
use in handling eggs.
When the hens on the farm are pro-
ducing enough eggs to warrant the
farm er's taking them to town. ar
rangeme nts should be made to handle
all Of them properly. A convenient
and clean place should be provided
wherein the hens can lay. The nat
ural tendency of hen Is to go of
In the weeds and make her rest. This
should not be tolerated and any eggs
found In such places should be marked
and kept at home.
When the clean. fresh eggs are
gathered they should be put in q
clean, dry, cool place until marketed.
Even though the place is clean and
cool. II It Is not dry, molds. ETC., will
commence development and the eggs
will soon spoil. If the eggs become
damp and they happen to be in con-
tact with any colored material they
will Immediately become stained.
Good egg cases in a cool. dry, clean
place. kept up OFF of the floor. make
an excellent receptacle in which to
keep eggs previous to marketing.
Before these eggs are set aside for
market, they should be gone over by
the farmer as he collects them, and
all small, stained, dirty, doubtful. in
cubator and rotten eggs should be re-
moved. Small and dirty eggs, If used
Immediately, are just as good as large
clean ones, but they will not sell we'll
on the market, and II sent in with
good eggs will spoil the trade. There
fore, they should be kept and used at
home. No eggs should be washed. for
the packers claim they will not keep
WE'LL. All eggs from stolen nests.
whose freshness Is doubtful. and all
incubator eggs, should either be
thrown away. boiled for the little
chicks or used at home. They should
never be sent to market. Rotten eggs
need not be discussed. Any person
who will send one to market deserves
all the penalty possible from the pure
food law.
When eggs have been properly
gathered. handled and kept previous
to taking to market, the question of
the number of trips to town should
be considered. In hot weather the
eggs should be marketed two or three
times per week, and oftener II pos
sible. II that number Of trips cannot
be made, cooperate with neighbor
and have him alternate days In the
trips which must be made.
In the fall and spring eggs should
be marketed at least once a week.
Many buyers have had trouble In Octo-
Der and November with eggs classed
az held EGGS These are common.
because most farmers believe that az
ter frost eggs will not rot SO quickly.
but nevertheless they do evaporate
and the air cells in them show the
Gambler that they are stale.
Therefore, the more often eggs are
marketed the greater are the chances
that they will be good. ~-.',

Selling eggs Is one Of the handlest
,vavs for the farmer to get a cash
or trade return for his produce, our
ing all parts of the year, and II ne
can increase the efficiency OF the
machine cry which produces and hand-
les these eggs he is putting into MS
pocket good hard cash. .
Almost every housewife who IL COM
nelled 70 buy eggs constantly clamors
for some method which she may pur-
sue in order to always get fresh eggs.
There is no housewife who mas not
some time or other had the great as
pleasure Of handling spoiled or rotteh
eggs. This almost constant occur
renee, with the possible exception OF
the winter months, practically COM
pels those who lecture and carry on
experiment station work to plead with
the farmers who produce the eggs to
put onto the market better produce.
The egg loss each year 10 enormous
and Is beyond all reasonable justiflca-
ton and the blame lies, at least IN
part. with the farmer for the follow
ing two reasons:
First some few farmers deliberately
take to market eggs which they know
are not fresh, because they know that
the merchant is compelled to take
them or lose their trade. Second, ana
by far the greatest reason. is because
OF ignorance on the part Of the farmer
as to what and how to sell eggs.
Some Of the trouble lies with the
small merchant who generally gives
trade for eggs. A storekeeper, espe-
cially in small town. makes his
livelihood from the farmers trade.
The farmer brings In butter and eggs
and wants all he can get for them.
One merchant In the town offers $3.50
per crate In cash. His competitor Of
fers $40 in trade. The one Offering
$40 in trade therefore gets all the
business. Maybe he loses on the eggs
when he pays $40, but If he does he
makes ON the sale Of his goods. When
the man who originally offered $52o
per case has lost his trade he becomes
desperate. and offers $3.50 per case.
and takes anything so long as IT. has
a shell around 1t. That causes the
farmer who loves the cold cash to
make IN extra effort to supply him
with all the eggs he can get. and all
the weeds, orchards, barn lofts. ETC..
are forced to give up their sometimes
rather ancient supply of eggs

toes should be stored in a warm dry
place. A temperature Of 50 to 70 de-

keeping of sweet potatoes.
Some persons have stored them in
the sand or dust from the country

If the potatoes are stored in sand or
dust, care must be taken that the
sand is perfectly dry.
Handled carefully, sweet potatoes
can be kept for some months and will
be found Of good quality late In the
