in conclusion, that whatever

the farmer Of small means when he
knows how to seek it and knows
when he finds it. Accumulated
wealth is not happiness; it's only
convenience which sometimes
brings happiness, and there is only
a small percentage of that class in
existence anyway. But the farmer
with his clear mind. clean heart
and robust health. surrounded
with a family of sturdy children,
growing rapidly into manhood
and Womanhood; children who.
with half the opportunity, will in
the future lead the affairs of the
nation; such a farmer is the most
independent and the happieSt of
all mortal men

(By FRANKLIN SHERMAN, JR., En-
tomologis,. North Carolina Depart
ment Of Agriculture)
The San Jose scale does great
harm to orchard trees which become
infested, unless they be thoroughly
and persistently treated. In order to
combat 1t to the best advantage some
knowledge of it's life-hlstory, habits,
means OF spread, etc. is necessary.
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 insects
are numerous be scraped with q knife
II will be seen that this unnatural
covering is quite easily removed. com
of the little circular gray objects is q
separate scale, each covering a tiny
yellow insect underneath. On thickly
infested branches they often become
30 crowded that the scales are piled
over one another SO that the real bark
of the tree is not visible at all
Branches and twigs 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 larg-
est full-grown scales are about the
size of an average pinhead. They can,
therefore, be detected by any person
who has in the beginning an lntelli-
gent idea OF the insect. has sharp eyes,
and who happens to look in the right
place
Usually the farmer or fruit grow
er does not know that there is any
serious trouble until the trees begin
to die. BY that time they are covered
by the scales and present the ashy ap.
pearance. Then, II the owner finds
that his trouble is San Jose scale, he
Is apt to think that II Is only on those
trees that present the unnatural ap-
pearance, when in reality 1t may al
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
ing 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 exter.
minated It, when as matter of fact
other trees moderately or slightly In
tested 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 orch
ard 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

The full-grown female insects al
ways remain under their circular
scales and there give birth to their

spect they have slight advantage IS

lay eggs as Is the case with most in
sects. The males, on the other hand.
finally develop into tiny two-winged
fly-like insects, but in consequence OF
their sex they can not play much part
in spreading the insect, as young can
only be born where females are pres
ent, and these, as we have stated. re-
main attached to the twigs.
The insect was not discovered in
the eastern United States until
August, 1898 At that time 1t was
found In Charlottesville, Va. II was
soon found that the infested trees
were purchased from nurseries which
had been introducing stock from Call.
fornia. Then fruitgrowers and ento-
mologists began to inspect orchards
especially for this pest and in 1897,
FIVE years after it's discovery in Vir-
ginia, It was known to exist in twenty
states east of the Mississippi river.
One thorough spraying (or washing)
each year with proper remedies. will
keep the San Jose scale In good con-
troll This is amply proven by the ex.
perience OF hundreds OF our fruitgrow-
ers and farmers every year.
II is best to give the treatment in
late winter, before the buds have
opened February or early march,
but any time after the leaves are shed
in fall and before the buds open in
spring will do. Spraying with a regu-
lar spray pump is by far the best
method. For this treatment the great
majority of growers depend on lime
sulphur wash (either commercial or
the home-made), or soluble oil (of
which there are several brands)
Although the weight Of opinion is in
favor of late winter as the one best
time to spray for scale. yet few peo-
pie prefer fall spraying, and some
even spray both In fall and late wk-
ter, though we do not think ttHs is
necessary as a regular practice. Fall
spraying Is done after all fruit has
been gathered, when the leaves have
begun to drop, or soon after they have
dropped For fall spraying we believe
there are special advantages in using
the soluble oils, as they will penetrate
more OF the small crevices and reach
a larger percentage OF the small
young scales which pass the winter.
On the other hand the lime-sulphur
solutions leave a coating on the
| branches so that when they are ap-
piled In late winter this coating acts
| as a considerable protection to the
trees during spring and early summer.
| So, II one wants to come as near as
possible to DISCRIMINATING the scale
we believe that the best plan would
be to use soluble oil in fall and lime
sulphur in late winter. But we want
to emphasize the fact that the Insects
are so small that absolute extermlna

ly impossihle), and even at the best
we must expect, and plan, to treat In
tested trees once each year,
