The Control of the San Jose Scale
Weapons the OrChardist May Use Against
This Des truCtive Pest

Detailed instructions for the use of
various sprays in controlling the San
Jose scale are given in new publica-
ton of the United States Department
of Agriculture, Farmers Bulletin No.
$50, 'The San Jose Scale and its Con-
troll" In the absence of proper treat
ment, this widespread pest will bring
about the death of most fruit trees
and of many ornamental and shade
trees. It's discovery, therefore, should
be followed by prompt measures of
control, whether it be found in COM
mercial orchards or in private
grounds. Private individuals, however,
will scarcely feel disposed to equip
with such expensive apparatus as Or
chardists may find profitable. The
bulletin, therefore, describes washes
and spraying apparatus suitable for
varying conditions.
Where only few plants are infest-
ed, it is probably better for the owner
to use some of the prepared washes.
| In fact many commercial orchardists
prefer to use these in preference to
making them at home. These consist
of compounds of sulphur in highly
concentrated condition, or powders, to
which it is only necessary to add a
sufficient quantity of water. The pow
ders which have but recently ap-
peared on the market are much more
convenient to handle and store than
the commercial lime-sulphur concen-
trates. The latter, however, are still
largely used by orchardists who do
not care to incur the expense of con-
structing the Cooking plant to make
their. own lime-sulphur washes.
Prepared in one way or another,
some form of lime-sulphur wash is the
most common agent for controlling
this scale. A formula much in use
some years ago was:
Stone lime. ...............2 20 pounds
Sulphur (fiour or flowers) E. e. Is pounds
Water to make. ........... so gallons
In preparing this. wash, about 1-S
of the total quantity of water re-
quired is heated in cooking barrel
or vessel; the lime then added, and
the sulphur Immediately afterwards
The sulphur should previously, how
ever, have been made into a thick
paste with water. After the lime has
slaked, about another third of the
water should be added and the cook
ing continued for an hour, when the
rest of the water is put in. During
the time of cooking, stirring is neces-
sary if the wash is cooked in kettles
| 1t. must also be strained as it is rur
into the spray tank.
Comparatively few fruit growers
now employ this method, because this
wash must be applied Immediately
after it is cooked-otherwise there !:

hardening of the sediment upon cool
IN. The cooking is also inconv
nient. It is for these reasons thai
manufacturers put on the market con
centrated solutions of lime sulphur al
ready mentioned. and which wher
used at proper strength are quite al
satisfactory as the old-time formula
When lime-sulphur concentrates ar
made at home, the so-called 50-100-5t
formula is frequently used. This Il

ton, that is, "Caponizing and Grow
ing Capons."
Take, for instance, the average
farmer, for an example. If he raises
poultry at all, chances are, on the
average, one-half of the poultry
grown will be cockerels, and he will
keep them as long as possible, or un-
til they are nuisance, then sell them,
which generally happens in the month
of September, or October, and of the
breeds generally grown on the farm,
the average weight will not be more
than three pounds, and the price paid
may average ten cents per pound, OF
thirty cents each. This, think, is a
good price, and will be considered so
Now. if he only had twenty birds to
sell, he would realize 5000. On the
other hand, if the cockerels had been
caponized, the same amount of feed
would have grown more pounds in the
same time, but capons being not
profitable to sell until nine months tc
a year old, he will continue to feed
the capons until this age is reached
A capon will weigh at one year ole
from ten to fourteen pounds, or,
might say, on an average OF ter
pounds per fowl, and the prices PAID
eo mn as high as fifty cents per pound

Durable And Sanitary Feeding
TrOughs OF Concrete

A simple, sanitary and economical
use of concrete is shown in the &C
companying picture of a feeding
trough for hogs. Nothing could be
easier than to make troughs of this
character for swine of poultry. Old
lumber free from splits and mot-holes
may be used. To procure an ever
lasting receptacle of this character
simply means the mailing together OF

preparations, are now largely used by
those requiring oil sprays in prefer
ence to the homemade emulsions.
Treatment with these oils is probably
desirable only when the infestation is
very severe and experience has shown
that the scale will not be controlled
by lime-sulphur sprays. Soap washes
made from fisn-cil soap are also used
to some extent at the rate of twp
pounds to the gallon Of water, and al
ways on trees in dormant condition.

the forms may be removed. The con-
crete should then be sprinkled twice a
day for the period of a week
The strength of a trough of this
character will increase with age. 1t
may be easily cleaned and will resist
the hardest usage. The longer it is
exposed to the weather the more DUR
able it will become.

board forms. Small troughs for chick
ems or large troughs for hogs may be
made with equal facility.
Another simple method of making a
small trough is to substitute for
boards half of a drain tile or terra

the boards are used it would be we'll

of part Portland cement, 2 parts

To prevent hogs from crowding OF

should be used as shown. To provide

General Monthly Forecast.

General Monthly Forecast.
, May is very trying month for the
farmer because so much has to be
done in such a short time This is one
Of the busy seasons for the agricultur-
list and he not only has to make. the
most of the best times but plant seed
that will agree with the current sea-
son. 1t is difficult to give a general
forecast that will strike the happy
medium since so many extremes can
take place during the period indicated.
However, it is expected the month of
May will be a good growing month
with plenty of sunshine and not an
over abundance OF rainfall. -
May md to 9Th.
Storms of rain, hail, wind and cleo
trical manifestations are expected to
be over the Lake region, Ohio valley,
Mississippi valley and eastern states
as this week comes in. The crest of
the cool wave following this area of
low barometer should be over western
regions Saturday of last week or Sun
day of this. In this case cool weather
will reach the lake region and Ohio
valley about Monday: Killing frosts
are probable as far south as the Ohio
river east of the Mississippi.
