DAMAGE BY SAN JOSE SCALE
Probably No Other insect, It uncor-
trolled, Capable Of Doing Greater
Damage to Fruit.

The pear In common with other
fruits is subject to the Expectations
of insects, among the most important
of which are the codling moth and the
San Jose scale.
The larva Of the codling moth, which
affects the apple to such an alarming
extent, entailing loss of millions Of
dollars, is also more or less injurious
to the pear, though to a much les ex-
tent than to the apple.
Probably no other insect, II uncon-
trolled. is capable of doing greater
damage to the fruit industry of this
country than the San Jose scale Near
ly all kinds of deciduous fruit trees
are more or less subject to its attacks.
1t multiplies and spreads with such
great rapidly that unless controlled
it is but question of short time I'M
til the tree is ruined and death follows.
Nevertheless, this insect can be con-
trolled at comparatively small cost,
SO that it is no longer to be regarded

To Protect the Flowers.

Edelweiss and other characteristic
Swiss flowers are said to be in dan
ger of total extinction because of the
craze of tourists for collecting them.
Women tourists especially are always
anxious to take away souvenirs in
the way of plant, and do not simply
pull the flowers, but dig up the plant.
1t is proposed to introduce a law that
will prevent the buying, selling or dig
ging of edelweiss, fire lily, Siberian
spring crocus, Alpine columbine, the
Daphne, Alpine violet or other ma
tional flower.

also makes a fine pasture for
stock. Some has reported to us
that stock would not eat sweet
clover but we can contradict this
argument for we sowed some last
