interior parts or tissues of the tee.
In short while cottony, waxy fiber
covers the body which in two or three
days mats itself into scale that grad
ually becomes larger and darker, until
in about two weeks the first molt of
the insect occurs. Up to this time
it is impossible to tell males from fe-
males, but after the molt they both
lose their legs and the females their
eyes also. The males undergo two
more molts and in three or four weeks
they develop into two-wingcd fly-like
insects, the female remaining in flat,
circular form and molt the second time

days mate with the males. The fe-
males attain their growth in 80 to 40

cessful results is the lime-sulphur
spray. Badly infested trees should, in
my opinion, be sprayed twice, in late
autumn after the leaves drop and in
the early spring before growth begins,
or you will be liable to injure your
trees by burning the young TISSUES.
But where it is in moderate form it
is possible to keep the pest under con-
troll with the early spring spray. 0pin-
ions differ as to the strength Of the
spray; some use as strong as nine
to one, some seven to one, while still
others have declared good results
from fifteen to one. In this district
reports are very favorable by using
eleven parts of water to one part
lime-sulphur.
The fight is not over when you just
consider the strength of the spray.
One must remember that the San Jose
scale is not larger than pinhead,
that the insect is protected under a
scale, it is therefore necessary to hit
each scale, so that the spray covers
the insect. To do this requires pow

San Jose Scale


1t will be my aim in this article to
give, in as concise form as possible,
the main facts relating to The life
history and habits Of this insect, the
nature and means of control-the lat
ter from the standpoint of the COM
mercial fruit grower.
China is believed to be the native
home of this pest. Git first became es-
tablished in America at San Jose, CAL,
about 1870 and derived its named
therefrom. 1t was not until 1893 that
it was discovered in Virginia in the
east, but it was soon found to have
sepread from these nurseries thru
thirteen states from New York to
Florida and today in its climatic range
it has spread to every orchard section
in the United States and Canada.
This insect is also found in Hawaii,
Chill, Japan and Australia.
The San Jose scale attacks all part
of fruit trees, including the trunk,
branches, leaves and fruit, and US
ually causes discoloration of reddest
color. In badly infested parts where
the scales are crowded together they
present grayish, rought, scurfy de-
post on the bark. Where scraped one
would find yellowish liquid coming
from MASKING the insects beneath the
scales. The fruit commonly infested
are apple, pears, ounce, peach, plum,
apricot; can also be found on currant
and gooseberries. Some varieties of
lemons and oranges, many shrubs and
forest trees are exempt from attack.
The scale is waxy secretion, COW
ering soft yellowish body of the in
sect beneath. The scale covering a
full sized female is about the size Of
an ordinary pin head, with small
Clark spot or rather nipple in the cen
ter. This nipple being surrounded by
a xellowish colored ring. The smaller
scales or those not yet fully grown are
nearly black with a gray dot in the
center. This is surrounded with n
grayish ring. Because of these pccul-
iarities in the young from the old
they can easily be distinguished from
other closely related species. The
male scale is only abeut half as long
as the diameter of the mature female.
They are dark gray in color with a
raised portion near one end. They
are generally more numerous than fe-
males during the early part of the
breeding season. In this section the
breeding begins somewhere about the
end of May or early in June, depend
ing greatly on weather conditions.
In late autumn all stages, from
those just born to the fully developed
insects can be found on the trees,
but only the small, nearly black, half
grown insects hibernate Others are
generally killed by weather conditions.
As have already mentioned, the
breeding begins late in May or early
June, when the females mature and
begin giving birth to living young,
say about the latter part of June.
The young develop inside the body of
the mother in a sac-like egg, but
some of these eggs may be laid before
the young hatch. Tiny, six-legged
young crawl from under the mother
scale and in short while settle down
to business by inserting their thread
like, or spear-like mouth parts which
they use to suck their food from the

Restoring the Governors Room.

Governor SMITHS occupancy of the
Governors Room in City Hall yester-
day was a wholesome revival of an
admirable old custom. The Governor
learned from the State Historian the
exact status of the Room, which was
originally furnished at State expense
for the use of the chief executive in
the performance OF his official duties.
aud then moved in as by right and
not by tolerance.
Nothing could be more appropriate
than the utilization Of this officially
designated and officially maintained
apartment in, the transaction Of public
business. To it every citizen can re-
pair. to make suggestions and to ex-
plain grievances, without the hamper
ing thought that he Is accepting the
private hospitality OF the Governor or
Of anybody else. The attendants who
! direct him are official attendants: the
atmosphere is the atmosphere of a
place maintained ar public expense for
public purposes; the citizen may call
| on the Governor as a citizen without
putting himself in any way under
obligation to any other citizen. This
condition should and undoubtedly will
promote expedition. frankness and
corliality between the Governor and
the people.
There will he an incidental benefit
derived from the more popular use of
the Governors Room that is worthy
of notice. Restored TO its original
appearance through the generosity OF
the late Mrs. SAGE, the Room is one
of the most distinctive and beautiful
Colonial apartments In the city. Too
few persons are familiar with It's
simple lines, its fine proportions. Its

architectural and decorative surround
ings bequeathcd to us by a past rich
! in interest and inspiration; and the
reaction on popular conceptions of our
Government and our Governors can.

On the Fine Art Of Reporting

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuH-Sr: For
a long time I have been impressed with
tho graphic and soul stirring descrip-
lions OF great events as reported in the
columns OF THE SvN. or such events
in comparatively recent times it has
seemed to me that THE SUNS accounts
have been set forth in language more
torceful and vivid than any other news
paper that has come under my notice.
The first paragraph invariably rivets the
attention OF the reader and holds IT to
the very end OF the article.
What brought this to my mind and
causes me to express It TO you are the
articles which have appeared in connec-
ton with the death and funeral services
nj ex-Prcsident Roosevelt. The article
in THE SUN describing the funeral ser
vices is. IN my opinion, model OF de-
scriptive writing.
THE SUN was noted for this sort OF
writing in the days Of Charles A. Dana
hut il seems TO me that the standard
has been kept up, and that the example:

favorably with anything that has gone

THE WAR MONUMENT.
Let Victory Point to France From
Governors Island.

To THE EDITOR OF THE S%-Sir. Let
me make suggestion for a monument
10 the American soldiers and sailors
engaged in the great var.
Modern reproductions Of the Roman
triumphaI arch have not been very sue
cessful, as witness the Washington
Arch. An arch OF this character IL
placed on an avenue obstructs traffic,
and on account OF the surrounding high
buildings does not produce very much
effect. The Arc de Triomphe in Paris
is an exception. 1t is placed at the
end of the Champs Elysees on I'LL,
and being of excellent design is very
fine. I know OF no similar place In
New York in which TO erect such an
arch.
therefore suggest that monument
he erected consisting OF representa-
ton Of a PROV of a ship on which are
clustered group of soldiers and sail
o-s: surmounted by figure of Victory
Of heroic size pointing toward Europe
and that II be placed on the southerly
end Of Governors Island opposite the
statue Of Liberty.
This would he seen by all vessels
entering the harhor and would be a Al
compa nion piece to Liberty Enlighten'
ing the World.

Race Divisions in Russia.

Another alignment besides that of
Bolshevist and anti Bolshevist is dis
ccrnible among the contending ele-
mcnts in Russia II race statistics are
considered.
The latest statistics compiled before
the war show that there are $1,000
600 Great Russians, who occupy the
centre of Russia and comprise from
two-thirds to three-Quartcrs of the
population in the north and east. In
the Baltic region, the western gov
ernments and parts of Poland there
are some 100000 Let's and Lithu-
anlans and $4,000 Eethonians, con-
shutting about half the population of
the territory In which they are set
tied. The Poles are estimated roughly
to form about half Of the population
of Russian Poland.
The dispatches from Russia indi-
cate that the Bolsheviki dominate the
territory Of the Great Russians, that
no important opposition to them has
been organized there, nd that ali the

puffed and blew. Men with the West
crn itch were trekking off In Cones
toga wagons to fight the wildness for
lazy old age that most Of them never
accepted. 1t was an era, IL not OF
good feeling, Of stimulation.
But, says the Forward Looking Citi-
zen, this Is merely the past, and these
persons are all dead. They're not
dead at all. Not until the last pro-
fessor has dssected Leaves Of Grass
the last American has read "The Com
memoration Ode" or humanity in
terestlng newspaper, the last soldier
has sung the Battle Hymn Of the Re
public" the last sentimentallst has
hummed Ben Bolt" the last woman
has sewed on the last machine, the
last anRsthetist has administered the
last ether, or the last boy has read
the last copy Of "Moby Dick"-not
until then, we say. will these men and
women die. Even the sculpture Of
BALL and STORY will live a while.
It takes more courage, CHEsTERToN
says, to face the past than to face the
future; anybody can play with the flu
ture, but the past Is hard nut. Yet
look back at what some Yankee ba-
bios of 1910 did is encouraging. 1t
makes the future look easier. On
some morning in 2019 we expect the
newspapers TO say something like
the following:
This is the centenary Of JOHN PER

fighting partaking Of the nature OF
civil war Is outside that territory. In
the Baltic region, in the western gov
ernments and in Poland Bolsheviki
are now fighting the nationalities
which are trying to establish indie
pendent states.
This distribution of races and OF
conflict suggests that in addition to
the social revolution which Bolshevism
Is trying TO accomplish racial war is
in progress in Russia; that the Boil
shevlki who are fighting the Poles,
the Lithuanians and the other races
include Great Russian elements in
the population of the territories con-

Italy Returns to TripOIi.

That Italy is not yet finished with
active hostlities Is evident from a
despatch from Rome saying that she
must reconquer the Tripolitan colo
MES which she had acquired in 1912
as result of the Turco.Italian war.
In this task she is meeting the Turk,
not apparently under the direct au
thority of the Porte but as an officer
in command of native Tripolitan
force. in the last stand that he IS
making in the war.
The Turk has never abandoned his
claim to this North African posses
sion. Italy took control of Tripoli
and Cyrenaica and did not require a
formal recognition of her sovereignty
over the territory from Turkey,
merely contenting herself with a
recognition. which was Immediately
given. by the Powers of Europe. She
took over Mt the same time the oC-
cupation Of certain .Egean islands
until the Turks withdrew from
the Libyan region OF North Africa.
Ever since the Turks have been en-
deavoring TO excite disaffection and
rebellion against the Italians among
the Tripolitan tribesmen of the in
terror of the country. Their efforts
were so successful that in 1915 a we'll
organized and armed native army
under command of Turkish officers
forced the retirement of the Italians
from all the towns except Tripoi.
The Italians were unable to send
troops to the relief of the army Of
occupation. as their entire available
force was required to repel the Aus
trian invasion. AS result at the
signing of the armistlce they found
themselves In control OF only the town
Of Tripoli and few square miles of
| adjacent territory. They are practl-
cally fighting again their war of 1911.
II, and the official commuuiQue pub
lished in Rome Is to the effect that
they are rapidly recovering the coast
towns and establishing their rule and
their prestige among the natives.
In reality the Italians had not at
the time of the signing of the peace
terms OF Lausanne, by which their
war with Turkey was ended. succeeded
in the occupation of the interior OF
Tripoli. They were in n measure held
back from further aggressive action
by the fact of their part in the Triple
| Alliance and the attitude of Germany
, and Austria. To the Central Powers
the war had been most unwelcome
II had followed closely upon the Mo
roccan crisis and it had placed Ger
many in the embarrassing position OF
deciding between her Italian ally and
her Turkish friend. Italy is no longer
confronted with this situation, but
| she will have instead the support OF
France and Great Britain. SIZE will
thus have a better opportunity than
ever before to complete the occupa,
ton of the country and to carry out
successfully her previously arranged
plans of colonization.

The City OF Washington.

A score and more of Presidents
have issued hundreds Of proclama-
tons and appended thereto the words
Done mt the City of Washington"
\ few months ago some one convinced
President WILSON. who had used this
form, that the capital of the United
States was not located in the city Of
Washington. there being no such city
or any city in the District of Column
bia; and later proclamations issued
by Mr.. WILSON have been done" at
the District of Columbia.
Generations of Washington news
paper correspondents have made para
graphs out of this fact. but Congress
has failed to give city name to the
interesting settlement on the Potomac,
although patient members have
amended out the words City of
Washington" from countless bills and
resolutions written by other members
who supposed that the White House
was in a city.
The quaint anomaly probably will
soon cease TO exist. as the Senate is
considering a bill providing that all
territory therein situate and now be-
ing within the District of Columbia
shall be known and designated as the
City of Washington. and shall be the
permanent seat of the Government OF
the United States"
No amendment has yet been offered
making an exception in favor Of Paris
in respect to that permanency.
