Umbrella that won't poke through.

Ninety-fve umbrellas of every hundred (that are not stolen) are lost to the own CT because they poke through at the top. This is because of the way they are made.
 Practically all umbrellas are made with tiny hole at upper end of the rib. Through this hole is run a wire which holds the ribs together at top of the umbrella. But the wire rusts and finally breaks-and then rib poke a hole through the fabric and the umbrella is useless.
 Here is different umbrella:

Lycoming Wireless.

It is made with a little ball and socket fastening in place of the hole and wire. That fastening cannot slip because it is held in place by a solid ring. And Ly- coming umbrella just can't break at the top. This arrangement also prevents the ribs from getting crossed and tangling when one tries to put up umbrella. Be cause of this device, a Lycom1ng umbrella will long outlast usual sort. Because of it, the makers guarantee the Lyconing umbrella the store will replace with a new one any that breaks at the top and pokes hole through the cover.
 Lycoming umbrellas cost no more than other sorts of equal quality. And, count ing their durability, they actually cost much less.

A PARASITE ON SAN JOSE SCALE.

The following report comes from
Geneva, New York: "Fruit growers
and nurserymen of this section are
deeply interested in the announce
ment of the discovery of parasite
that eats and destroys the San Jose
scale. Some are hopeful that it Will
present method of controlling the
worst single insect pest of fruit trees
in this region, while others are
skeptical about it's ability to eradicate
scale. tany rate the men associated
with the fruit growing industry of
this section are thoroughly aroused
by the announcement of the discovery
and are eager for further develop
ments.
The reason for this interest is that
the San Jose scale necessitates con-
slant spraying to keep it under con-
troll. Once scale is allowed to get a
start in an orchard or block of
nursery stock the damage is serious
If not completely ruinous to the
planting. This condition has caused
nurserymen and fruit growers to con-
slider that scale is going to be with
them continuously and they have set
tied down to spraying for scale as a
regular practice. Now comes along
the announcement that natural en-
envy of the scale can be set loose upon

ing such an easy method for the cost,
ly and Iaborious job of spraying has
infiamed the Imagination of the fruit
men.
The announcement of this apparent
panacea for scale has been made by
Professor HI. A Surface, of Harris
burg, Penn, economic zoologist in
charge of the division of zoology OF
the Pennsylvania State Department
of Agriculture. Professor Surface
has made a public announcement OF
his discovery in the current issues OF
agricultural and horticultural papers
and shortly will print an official
statement. He declares that there
are thousands of orchards in the
southeastern part of Pennsylvania
where the fruit was unfit for sale two
years ago and now through the activ-
tiles of the parasites not living San
Jose scale nor specimen of specked
fruit can be found at the present
time. Nurseries that were so badly
infested that owners found difficulty
in cleaning up the stock in order to
get state certificate now have abso-
lutely no scale.
"Trees that have never been spray
ed" says Professor Surface. "and
that we're dying with San Jose scale,
are putting forth new growth and
while they have an abundance Of old
scale on the old bark, there is abso-
lutely none on the new bark or fruit.
The old scale is completely perfor-
ated, showing where the parasites
bored through them to liberty after
having destroyed the scale insect it.
self.
AS to how the parasites work, Pro-
lessor Surface says:
''These parasites live by feeding in
the soft body OF the San Jose scale
insect. The larva or maggot reaches
it's growth and changes to a chrysalis
or pupa, and little later transforms
to a most minute wasp like insect
which bores through the scale and
mates and then seeks other specimens
of the scale insect, in each of which
it deposits an egg. There are sever
al broods of these parasites per year
and they are SO numerous that they
clean up the scale, even though the
rate of multiplication may be as rap
id as has been published in the bulle-
tins Of the United States Department
of Agriculture, where it is estimated
that one insect may become the
ancestor of over three billions in one
season."
Regarding the striking claims of
Professor Surface for his parasite
treatment for scale, Professor p. j.
Parrott, the entomologist of the New
York Agricultural Experiment Sta
ton, is cautious. He says that he
has seen unsprayed orchards in vari-
Gus parts of New York state in which
there was no scale, with scale infest-
ed trees surrounding them on all
sides and that the only explanation
for the phenomenon was a parasitic
control. At the present time Profess
sor Parrott says that it is unwise for
New York state fruit growers to at
tempt to introduce scale parasites
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1913-12-01

Parrott has secured specimens of the
parasite and Is breeding them in the
breeding cages at the station and will
give them thorough test to deter
mine the extent that they can be
trusted to handle the scale situation.

Oakville Farmer Proves Pro-
ductive Capacity Of Logged
Off Lands

AS proof positive that the hill land
near Oakville cannot be excelled for
the production of strawberries and
small fruits we have en- example on
the Otto Wilkowski farm. Mr.. Will
kowski had 5000 strawberry plants,
covering one-thfrd of an acre. This
year he sold 116 crates from which
he received total of $168.95. His
entire expense, including cost OF
crates, picking and fertilizer, amount
ed to $40, leaving him net profit
on the third of an acre of $133.55
This is a net yield of $400.65 per
acre.
Mr.. Wilkowski has the Marshall
variety of berries and for size and
flavor they surpassed any berry In
the Oakville market this year. Mr.
Wilkowski has taken great pride and
care with his berries and they were
put on the market in fine shape
Though he kept the price from so
cents to Is cents higher than outside
berries they were always in demand
locally in preference to other Der.
ries. It was these berries with which

ton presented 100 boxes to the Ia

sion through Oakville last June
