SPRAY FOR CITRUS PESTS
Parafin Oils viii Control Both
Scales and Whitefiies

= a
Citrus scales and whiefiies pre-
sent but single problem in bear
ing groves where both are pres
ent, as the best insecticides for tn,
one are the best for the other
Furthermore, j. r. Watson Of tn,
University of Florida expert
ment station says that heavy in
festation Of whitefies is likely tc
be followed by a marked increase
in the number Of scales present
particularly the common purple
scale.
The reason for this relation is
| that the sooty mold which grows
in the honey-dew given off by the
whitefies acts in part as a protec-
ton to the scales. In their efforts
to avoid light, the young scales
crawl under anything that affords
them shade, as the calyx of the
fruit, or into the shadow of a
fruit when two are touching. A
loosely-ftting covering of sooty
mold makes an ideal retreat.
In the majority OF groves,
where both whiteflies and scales
are present, the spraying schedule
should be adapted primarily to
the whitefiies. There are three
main broods of the common
whitefies and the grower should
take measures to combat each
brood. Spraying is best done
when the insects are in early
larval stages, for two reasons !;
larvae are more easily killed at
that time, and the injury they
would infiict during their growth
is prevented.
Mr.. Watson says the dates of
emergency of these broods vary
with the year, the grove, and the
latitude, but in general, the adults
of the first brood are mostly on
the wing in March and early
April, of the second brood in
June, and of the third brood in
August. One should record the
date when the flight of the adults
begins to abate, wait ten days,
and then spray. The ten-day per-
iod gives the majority of the eggs
time to hatch. The spring spray
ing should be delayed until the
young oranges are at least as
large as hickory nuts, ito avoid in
jury from. the oil used. This will
bring the spring spraying early
in May, on the average.
In the fall, again ten days after
the main flight of adults is over,
the grower should spray with the
oils. This time for spraying will
usually ca-,e IN September.
These two spfayings with in
secticidcs will usually suffice for
a bearing grove. In a young
grove, where the fungi do not
thrive on account of lack of
shade, the grower may need to
spray again in July. If the
scales, particularly the red scale,
have become abundapt, two
sprayings may be necessary.
The best insecticides for both
these pests are the paraffin oils.
Spraying must be thoro. Altho
the whitefies are confined chiefly
to the undcrsides of the leaves,
The scales ere found On all parts
of the trees.
Under normal weather condit-
ions The summer broods of white
flies and scales, greatly reduced
by the May spraying, can usually
be controlled by the parasitic
fungi. AT the beginning of the
rainy season the grower should
spray into his trees the spores of
the red and brown whitefy-
fungi, and the black, red and
gray-headed scale-fumgi. The red
one can be obtained from the
State Plant Board, Gainesville.

o. ". ALLEN is OUT OF
PENITENTIARY ON PAROLE

Idaho prison doors swung open
Wednesday for o. V. Allen, former
state treasurer and confessed en-
bezzler of $4,000 from state runcs.
to whose repeated appeals for parole
state pardon boards had. until We'd

The present board, impressed with
his long and faultless prison record,
and inclined toward the appeal of
one of Aliens sons, who saw service
in France, turned the convict over to
his own brother, H. F. Allen OF Twin
Falls, who will stand responsible to
the state for regular reports as to the
paroled mans conduct.
Allen does not show the usual eff
fects of life behind prison bars, and
is not broken in spirit. He will enter
business life.
He entered the prison Oct. %, 1914,
sentenced to serve from five to ten
years. The five year mark was re-

oner and gets credit for good time. "

City Health Commissioner Reed,
of Seattle, says the country boy IS IN
ferior physically to the city boy, and
this fact was established when boys
of both classes were examined for the
army He says it is on account of the
superior public health service of the
city. One of the crying needs, he
says, is campaign OF health edu-
cation in the country. Improper
housing, the fly problem, and lack OF
care are the chief causes of poor
health in the country. Proper and ad-
