SAN JOSE SCALE IS
A GROWING MENACE
c. 0. Constable Urges Active
and Bitter War On
Dangerous Pest

c. o. Constable, county fruit inspec
tor, takes up discussion Of the San
Jose scale in the following article, Be
lieving that this pest is still a menace
to this country, he discusses the APP
pearance of the scale and also the rene
dies that may be applied by any farm
er:
San Jose Scale.
1t would hardly seem necessary for
me to write on u subject 80 common
as San Jose scale. However, | have
had several inquiries from the new
conner and city people in regard to this
pest During the past summer and tail
while in search Of fire blight IN the
timber along the Willamette river
was very much surprised to find to
what an alarming extent II exists on
trees and shrubs. ! have about reach
cd the conclusion that the time is far
distant when this pest will be entirely
eradicated from the valley, unless some
means can be found to combat ii in
the timber, fields. and roadside, and
think the orchardist will be compelled
to look after his individual property
with view Of clean trees and fruit.
The Oregon Agricultural college says
in regard TO its nature and extent of in
Jury. One can hardly fail to locate
this insect where it is present in un.
checked numbers, for the appearance of
its host will be such that one who is
familiar with the resulting injury can
readily distinguish the more or less cir
cuIar ash.gray, shield.like scales on
bark. leaves or fruit Owing to the
fact that the scale closely resembles
the bark Of most Of our fruit trees,
they may be working on tree for
some time before their presence is dis
covered. When they are abundant, the
fruit will usually be invested with few
TO many scales; this is the first indica.
tion that the average orchardi0t will
notice. When allowed to develop un.
checked, they soon cover branches and
limbs. which, as result Of the injury.
die in one or more seasons; following
this, entire trees die from lack of nour-
ishment.
Il has been said that the San Jose
scales is the only scale which causes the
redding Of the bark, but this is not
true as the same effect is caused by
other scale insects. This is quite char
actcristic Of the San Jose scale, how
ever. and furnishes fairly sure basis
for identification in the orchard.
The condition Of the scales can read
ily be ascertained by scraping them
from branch;, if they are dead, the
scales will rub off like dry, gray
scurf; if they are alive, the crushed
body will produce yellow oil-like fluid

which gives the bark greasy appear
ance.
Whenever scale has settled there
will be small round spot with small
white speck in the middle; the spot is
formed by the body of the scale while
the white speck is where the long
thread-like piercing apparatus, or ton
que, was inserted in the bark. Often
times the scales will completely cover
portions of limbs and over lap each
other so that they form crust. When
50 badly infested, young scales will
crawl under old dead scales and settle.
We have found as many as four young
scales fastened side by side under one
old scale. Fruit infested with the scale
becomes pitted and gnarled as the
growth is checked at the point where
the scales have their beaks inserted.
Unlike most other scale insects, it
develops and hatches its eggs within
the body, so that the young are born
alive In May, possibly earlier under
favorable conditions. the females begin
to give birth to living young and may
continue to produce for six weeks or
longer.
The young are minute light orange
yellow, active creatures with eyes
bristle like mouth parts, two antennae
or feelers, and six legs. After emerg-
ing from under the protecting scale of
the parent, each wanders over the sur
face of bark fruit or leaf until a suit
able situation is found, when the legs
and antennae are folded beneath the
body, the bristle like beak is slowly
worked through the outer bark into the
living tissues beneath, from which it
draws its sustenance At any time dur
ing the summer months hundreds of
these little pests may be SEEN even
with the unaided eye, as they crawl
about over the bark or fruit of infested
trees. With the first molt, all nppen-
dages. the legs, antennate, etc, except
the beak, are lost.
The female scales when mature have
a more or less circular scale formed Of n
number of concentrc rings, which cor
respond to the various mots made dur
ing growth. Under strong lens these
appear ash-g in color with a black
protuberance or raised spots in the mid
die.

is generally used in combating the San
Jose scale. The recommendations from
this station have been to spray the
trees while dormant either in the late
fall or early spring, We have also

Take the Proposition to a Bank Man

Unless all signs fail, the one certain result of the European war is going to he a general stimulus to American industry, Our mills are running to full capacity; our crops are bumper ones. our banks are gorged with money; our people employed at good wages and constantly shorter hours, making things for Europe to eat, and wear and shoot. We shall have great prosperity.
 With prosperity comes the promot- CT trying to get some of that pros- perity without working for it. He will have great schemes to make you (and himself) rich. You first then himself: Cor vice versa). Fakes by the thousand will follow the wake of prosperity, all seeking to separate YOU from your money. The warning is particularly opportune now: Be- ware the promoter.
 If you are offered any scheme to make money, take it to your banker If 1t offers over six per cent turn it down on general principles. The pro- noter finds poor picking when you hke his proposition to the bank man. Ask the banker: Would you go into this with the banks money? And t he wouldn't-don't you.
