SAN JOSE SCALE IN KENTUCKY

SAN JOSE SCALE IN KENTUCKY
A great many Of the orchards Of
Kentucky are badly infested with
San Jose Scale, indeed the scale is
becoming so sommon that II threat
ems TO wipe out great many Of the
orchards altogether unless strenu-
Gus measures are taken TO control IT,
At this particular season il is well
to call attention of the orchard
owners TO the pest, so that steps
may be taken TO hold il in check.
The San Jose Scale belongs to a
class Of insects known as sucking
insects. II attacks nearly all fruits
and is oftentimes found on shrubs
and forest trees. On badly infested
limbs il appears as a greyish scurf
which is made up of millions Of in
sects. The individual scale is round
and somewhat smaller than pin
head. On the fruit the scale makes
itself known by the characteristic
little red blotches. The scale usu-
ally attacks the younger wood first,
and if left undisturbed, soon covers
the whole tree. One Of the best
places TO look for it is at the point
where new wood growth started
the previous season.
Since the scale is a sucking in
sect and obtains its food from be-
meath the surface of the plant host
it is obvious that no spraying with
Paris green or other arsenical pre-
paration would kill it. Hence some
one of the contact sprays which kill
from the outside must be used. The
contact sprays are caustic and pene-
trating in their effect and are gen.
orally used for scale insects.
Some of the most important con-
tact sprays are Lime and Sulphur
Wash Soap Solutions, Kerosene
Emulsons, Tobacco Extracts, Soluble
Oils and Lye Wash.
Lime and Sulphur is the most
common insecticide used. For San
Jose Scale it should be applied while
the trees are dormant. Spray as late
as possible before the buds start TO
swell. Lime and Sulphur for dor
mant trees is usually prepared as
follows:
Fresh Lime (unslaked)) :. 20 lbs.
sulphur .............. 10 IDS.
Water ................ so gals.
Prepare the above by slaking the
lime and sulphur together in a
large iron kettle, dilute to IS gals,
and boil from forty-five to sixty

minutes. The liquid II properly pre-
pared will turn to a reddish amber
color and will be ready for use
Dilute to fifty gallons and apply a:
soon as possible because IL lose:
strength on standing.
II one has a small orchard anC
does not care TO prepare the lime
and sulphur at home, il may be pur-
chased at reasonable rates from the
larger implement stores. A great
many of the commercial growers
no longer prepare their own mix
lures, but use the commercial mix
ture instead. II should be applied
as follows:
Concentrated material 80. 4 gal.
Water .............9 Q or 10 gals.
The above formulas give the
strengths recommended for dormant
sprayings only.
Remember that thoroughness Is
necessary in order TO obtain results
from spraying. Use strong dur
able, brasb-lined pump that will
carry a good strong steady pressure
To be successful the work must be
well done. This means that every
limb on the tree, from the ground
to the tip, is to be covered with the
spray.

this or allied lines Of orchard man
agement, address the Department Of
Horticulture, Kentucky Experiment
Station, Lexington, Ky.

IMPORTANCE OF BEING WELL
H0RN

Gregor Mendel, peasant boy, monk
abbot of Brunn, an experimental
botanist whose work In his cloister
garden laid the foundation Of that
exact knowledge Of heredity which
Is now being extended In many d.
rections, was born July %, 1922.
He died in 1882. Eighteen years
later began the appreciation OF his
labors. His doctrines, which are
called Mendelism form the scientific,
basis Of the science Of Eugenics,
THE science Of being well born"
Mendel's work made IL possible for
us to predict with precision whether
good or bad traits will or will not
appear in future offspring and TO
forecast with mathematical ac-
curacy the proportion in which GER
tain charac cteristics will appear and
reappear.
This is important 10 the public
health because defective persons
breed defective persons and an in
creased knowledge OF heredity
means an increased power in the
prevention Of the creation OF de-
generates and insane persons on the
one hand and normal, efficient peo-
pie on the other.
The population Of the United
States increased about eleven per
cent between 1904 and 1910. while
the number Of persons in insane
asylums during the same period in
creased 25 per cent. A single family
Of detectives cost the State OF New
York in flve generations over one
million and a quarter dollars.
When il is realized that not only
mental but also physical traits such
as deaf. mutism, color blindness,
gout, short sightedness. alcoholism,
epilepsy. imbecility and insanity
may all be transmitted TO offspring.
the Importance OF Mendel's work TO
the public health and public pocket
book is readily seen.
The prevention of the propagation
~ detectives may be controlled by
the education Of parents so that
they will endeavor 20 prevent Q
union Of their children with chill
dren OF defective families; legisla-
ton requiring n medical certificate
of parties applying for marriage
license. and surgery which aims 10
render detectives incapable OF pro-
creating. Indiana. Wisconsin and
California have laws permitting such
operations.
The segregation Of detectives has
not proven practicable: in fact in
the case of deaf and dumb, il serves
10 increase rather than 10 decrease
their number.
Mendel's experiments were made
with the common pea. but the prin-
ciples which he deduced from his
studies are applicable not only TO
mankind but 10 all the lower ami
mails. and are hence OF Importance
TO the public health worker, tho
botanists and the agriculturist.

IL is easy enough, in most cases,
TO protect against the coming Of the
moth but a much more difficult
problem TO destroy them after they
come. Following will be given sew
eral methods Of repeling this little
animal and also several ways of de-
stroying him before he can do so
much destructive work.
