SAN JOSE SCALE AND FRUIT
TREES.
by A. J. Kirby, Adams County
Agent, in Natchez Democracy

by A. ]. Kirby, Adams County
Agent, in Natchez Democracy
The insect is not a native of the
United States but appears to have
come here from China where it &C.
ours commonly on food plants. 1t
was introduced into San Jose tpro-
nounced San Hosay) Valley Cabfor-
mia, about 1870 and the name of the
locality where it was first found has
been given it. It is found on the fol-
lowing fruit trees in abundance:
Peaches, pears, apples and plums and
the privit hedge is also host for it.
San Jose Scale is q minute, incon-
spicuous insect which does not, to the
unframed observer, appear to be a
living creature. The body Of the liv-
ing insect is concealed beneath the
circular, waxen scale which it forms
for its protection. The largest scales
are smaller than an ordinary pin head
in diameter and are quite flat. Be-
meath the scale the body Of the insect
may be found as small, immovable
yellow body which, if crushed, seems
to be filed with thin, yellow, oily n
quid. The young of this specie are
born alive and their powers, Of repro
duction are so remarkable that q
tree containing only a few scales in
the spring will be heavily infested by
fall.
The injury is in two forms. The
insect draws sap from the tree, which
is not as injurious as causing q thick
ening of the cell walls and the result
is starvation to the tips Of the
branches. The scale produces a de.
structive red stain around the point Of
attack, either on the infested fruit Of
on the bark of the tree.
The best known method Of combat
ting this insect is to spray during thu
winter months with Lime-Sulphur 50
luton one gallon to eight gallons Of
water. However, this solution can on
ly be applied during the winter Of
hosmant period of the tree for it i
liable to injure the tree if the leaves
are green.

We have at hand bulletin No. 2
Of the National Fertilizer .Associa-
ton, Of Philadelphia, which in effect
is propaganda against Henry Ford's
proposition to take over the Muscle
Shoals plant for the manufacture of
fertilizer. If, as alleged by the bull
letin, the operation Of the plant
would be of such small importance
in the fertilizer industry, why this
expensive campaign Of propaganda
against Mr.. Ford's proposition? Is
it possible that the fertilizer trust
has become q disinterested advo-
cate Of government economy and ID
spending its money to save Uncle
Sans strong box from depletion
Hardly possible. While we don't
know anything at all about the
practicability Of Ford's proposition
the character and source Of the op.
position that it has aroused predis-
poses us to favor it.-Fayette Chron

The State, IS.
Incomplete returns from the sec
ond Democratic primary in the Sixth
congressional district yesterday indi-
cate that A. H. Gasque of Florence
has defeated P. H. Stoll of Kings
tree, incumbent. Mr.. Gasque was
leading Mr.. Stoll by GIL votes at
midnight last night. The vote stood
Gasque, 1851; Stoll 1920. 1t is
not believed that the small outstard-
ing vote will enable Mr.. Stoll to over
come the lead already attained by
Mr. Gasque..
Snowden's History of South Caro-
lima gives the following sketch of
Mr.. Gasque:
"Allard Henry Gasque. who repre-
sents old French Huguenot stock in
South Carolina, has devoted his ac-
tive life to educational affairs and
for Is years has been busily direct
ing the public school system of Flor
ence county in the capacity of coun-
t. superintendent.
"He was born in Florence county
March 8, 1873, son of Wesley and
Martha (kirton) Gasque. His father
was g merchant and a planter. The
son was educated in the public
schools and as a young man before
going to college taught school three
years in some of the country dis
tricts of Florence county. He was
graduated from the University of
South Carolina in 1901, and the fol-
lowing year was principal Of the Wa
verify school. He then took year Of
post graduate work and in 1902 was
chosen county superintendent of ed
ucation, serving five times in success
SION for two year terms without op-
position, and in 1916 was elected for
a four year term, receiving ma
jority over TWO rival candidates.

came in contact with the practical
work of the South Carolina farm and
is, strictly speaking, country bred,
though most of his boyhood was
spent in the village Of Lynchburg.
He attended private schools and in
1892 finished the classical course and
was awarded the A. 3. degree by
Wofford college, at Spartanburg. He
also took a summer course in law at
the University of Virginia. For year
he taught at Bethel academy and ar

1895 was admitted to the bar. He
soon returned home to take charge
of the family business affairs during
the last illness Of his father and was
thus engaged until 1908, when he
removed to Bishopville and began
the practice Of law about the same
time that Lee county was created.
For fully 20 years he has been re-
garded as a leader in the public life
of his community. He was elected to
represent Sumter county in the leg
islature until 1901. In 1902 he was
chosen the first senator from Lee
county and was a delegate to the ma
tional Democratic convention of
1904. He was elected lieutenat gov
ernor without opposition in 1906 and

Thomas Gordon Mcleod, nominal
ed yesterday for governor of South
Carolina, long ago established in his
home county of Lee his prestige as an
, able and learned member of the bar
His services have not been within the
strict limits of his profession, how.
ever, and again and again he has
been called upon to act in positions
of trust and responsibility, involving
large and important issues. For four
years he was lieutenant governor of
the state, he has been a member of
both houses of the legislature, and
in all his record there has been moth
ing to detract Justly from his repu-
tation as lawyer, an upright gentle
man and forward looking citizen.
He was born in Lynchburg. Sum-

throughout the Confederate war. He
married Miss Amanda Rogers, whose
father, William Rogers, was of New
England stock, and came to the Car
olinas from Connecticut in 1885.
Thomas G. Mcleod once wrote in !
regard to his parentage, inheritance
and early influence the following:
'My parents were both devoted !,
