HOW TO IDENTIFY
SAN JOSE SCALE
Difficult to Detect Owing 10 Its
Small Size and lnConSpiCu-
GUS Color.

Perhaps the worst feature of an al
tack by the San Jose scale is that
owing to it's small size and inconspic
uous color, it often remains unnoticeG
until the tree has been seriously IN
jured or even killed. That the tree
lacks vigor may be recognized, but
the cause of its unthriftiness is over
looked Yet it is not difficult to de
tect when one really looks for it. In
the early stages of infestatlon few
scales may be found, usually clustered
about the buds Of the preceding sea
sons growth, or even on two-year-old
wood says a writer in the Baltimore
American. The mature scales are
grayish in color, being usually. but
not always, somewhat lighter than the
bark to which they are so closely at
tached The mature females are
nearly circular in shape, are approx
mately one-sixteenth inch in diameter
and each is somewhat raised in the
center to form a slight protuberance
or nipple, which is lighter in color
than the rest of the scale. II this
scale is carefully examined by means
of small magnifler, several concen
trio circles may be observed between
the nipple and the outside edge; and
if it be carefully raised with the poin,
of a pin or a knife there will be re
vealed a minute bright yellow object
the insect itself.
The trees should be sprayed in mid
winter with the lime-sulphur mixture
For few trees buy hand vaporizing
sprayer. One can be had for 81, and
with it an active man can thoroughly
spray bearing tree in ten minutes al
a cost of few cents. To have clean
healthy trees and perfect fruit the
trees should be sprayed in season.
The lime-sulphur mixture, properly
applied, will cleanse the trees of the
various scale insects including the
San Jose scale), and is also an ex
cellent destroyer Of fungus growth OF
all kinds Fruit growers recommend
it's use for killing the eggs of the
aphis and oyster shell insect For
scurfy scale and oyster-shell louise use
whale oil soap solution. This sou
ton is made as follows: Whale oil
soap, one pound and boiling water
one gallon. Mix we'll and dilute with
six gallons of cold water when ready
to use The time to apply is in May
or June. or when the small scale lice
are moving about on the bark.

The business man, especially, needs

A Calf. business man tried to find

ItaIy's Fioht AGAINST Malaria,

Reports from American consular of
ficers in Genoa and Leghorn, prepared
in response of inquiries from the Unit

for remedy for malaria, show that
the prevalence of malaria in that king

years, mainly due, it is stated, to the
energetic measures Of the Italian gov

SUCCESS IN MAKING OVER A NEGLECTED.

Hundreds Of Thousands of Old Native Apple Trees in the United
States That Are Well Worth Grafting-Process Is Sim

and better than when tall old limbs
are top-worked.
AS the grated branches grow they
must of course be pruned in such
way as to get as spreading an effect
as possible The natural tendency OF
grated wood is to grow vertically up
ward. but by the judicious use of the
pruning shears one can force the
growth in almost any direction. The
skill and judgment of the owner here
come into play. Good results are, OF
course. easier with a tree having
good spread of horizontal branches,
because the twigs for grating can
be started at considerable distances
one from the other. but even in so
upright a tree as the one pictured
herewith, desirable results are readily
obtained
In many old apple trees there are
likely to be horizontal branches eX'
tending far from the trunk-which
are too old and hard to be grated,
but which have small twigs arising
from along their outer part. Such
vertical branches are soon brought
into condition for the insertion OF
sciOns by simply cutting off the main
limb just beyond them, making
clean cut very close to the vertical
branch. The bark will soon heal over
the cut end, the main flow Of sap VIII

grated it will make a fine fruitlng
branch so far out from the trunk that
it has abundant air and sunshine.

possible will be occupied when the
scions grow into fruiting branches.
Then ruthlessly remove all the other
suckers, and continue to remove them
as fast as they start. This will in

once a month, scraping off each time
all the buds that show on The bark.
The result of such treatment will be

The other day | saw some apple
trees which had been "dehorned'
according TO the orders OF the new
owner of an old farm. The trunks
were about a foot in diameter and
all the large limbs had been sawed
OF very near the fork so that the
trees looked like great clubs. The
whole operation had been performed
at once. with. of course. a great shock
to the balance of root and leaf which
the trees will be likely to try to make
up by sending out an enormous crop
Of watersprouts. Whether they will
survive | am not sure, but | am sure
1t would have been better to do the
remodelling more gradually by ex-
tending it over two or three years.
There are hundreds of thousands
OF old native apple trees in the United
States that are well worth making
over into grated trees. This can be
done more quickly than new trees
can be brought into profitable bear
Ing and it is a simple interesting
process for any one to undertake
Success is fairly certain if one is con-
tent to take few years time rather
than to try to do it all at once.
Success In making over a neglected
apple tree depends largely upon the
preliminary pruning; the first thing
to do is to thin out superfuous
branches and this may be done in
summer, fall or winter Especial care
should be taken to open up the cen
ter of the top. Any young branches
that start low enough to be grated
% advantage should be saved. If two
or three such branches can be grated
the first year, others can be grown for
grating in succeeding years.
Late summer is a particularly good
time to begin the preliminary pruning
of these trees to get them ready for
the following spring
The spring following the severe
pruning a crop Of young twigs is
likely to appear on the trunk and
larger branches. These furnish a
splendid opportunity for training
new set of branches for grating, so
near the ground that the fruit will be
within easy reach. In every crop of
these watersprouts there are varia-
tons in the characters of the indi-
vidual twigs. Some are much more
vigorous than others, an indication
