SAN Jose SCALE

San Jose scale Is not so dangerous
because 1t is hard to eradicate so
much as because 1t is SO hard to keep
away. The scales are active only
during the baby stage Of few days.
and in themselves would never
spread fast. but they are born alive
and continuously and the tiny mites
spread out along the limbs seeking
a place to attach themselves. Winds
blow them, and birds carry them
on their feet, and thus little colonies
are started on other trees far and
wide. You never know when they
will come your way.
This scale increases with extreme
rapidity. the generations coming
along in quick succession. 1t does
not take them long to spread over
a tree and suck out its life. Each
little colony soon becomes a big
colony and sends out other colonies.
Il is because of this tendency to
keep perpetually at 1t that makes
Il necessary to keep up the fight.
We can do nothing with summer
spray, fC~ it will catch only the mites
not vet protected by a scale. To
them with a strong solution that
would injure foliage, II there were
foliage on the trees, so 1t must be
done in winter when the trees are
dormant. Limesulfur is the one that
is generally used. Because of the
danger of their coming at any time
the preventive spray is used by many
who do not even attempt an ex-
animation.
1t is not safe to give the trees
a lookin, over and neglect the spray
ing if scale is not seen. Without
a magnifying glass few would dis
cover them. Even with>a magnifying
glass it is not practical to look over
an entire tree, and if a bird has
deposited a colony on a limb in one
wear the tree may become well sup
Piled, and birds have carried a dozen
colonies to other trees. These scat
tered colonies may be cleaned up
with regulaI winter spraying and
while you might never know 1t,
your orchard saved.
The miscible oils and oil emulsions,
properly used, will clean up the
worst cases of scale infestation, but
they are best used as preventives
than as cures, from the standpoint of
the welfare of the trees.

Sunshine A Friend
To Young Chicken

The chicks life insurance policy is
written with sunshine-either the di-
rect or bottled form. However, the sun
appears to be bashful during March
and early April. Instead Of having
bright, warm days. the weather is in
variably dark and cloudy. Such con-
ditions are entirely unsuitable for
the best growth of little chicks.
Sunshine is intimately associated
with good chick growth according to
recent. discoveries. Chicks that get
sunshine or it's equivalent, have a
much better chance of living than
those that do not. Poultrymen used
to think chicks that were outside grew
better because of contact with the
ground.
Importance of getting chicks out in
the direct sunshine early cannot be
oVer-estimated. 1t is also very i'm.
portant that the sunshine be direct,
Sunshine coming through glass Is of
no value so far as its effect on growth
is concerned. The ordinary window

Portland To Entertain
National Grange, Nov.

1t is expected that at least 15,oOO
Patrons of Husbandry from all sec.
tions Of the country will flock to
Portland during the meeting of the
National Grange which will last for
eight days, beginning November 10,
and it is believed that the city will
provide entertainment for this large
gathering without any great diff
Guilty.
In coming to Maine, the srangeTs
will visit state, which with New
Hampshire, boasts more members OF
the order, per farm, than any other
in the Union, and much pride Is
taken in this fact by the state officers
of the organization.
The meeting means much for Port
land and for Maine. State Master
Abbott declares, and he quotes Gov
ernor Ralph o. Brewster as asserting
that it will be the biggest convention
Maine has ever '-nown.
The greater number of the dele
gates will come from the eastern
states, and it is anticipated that
there will be a good representation
from the central and far western
sections of the country, and it is the
intention of the hosts to the army II
grangers to show them that the Pine
Tree Safe is very much on the map.
Three special trains are known to
have been arranged for to bring
part of the host of grangers here,
one from Hartford. Conn, one from
northern New York and Vermont,
and the other from central Massa-
chusetts. and it is probable that
Pennsylvania will also send a spe-
cial loaded with delegates.
Philip Dewey, master of the Penn
sylvania State Grange, has expressed
a desire to come here during the
summer, and he will be invited to
come to the state and speak from
June to IL, while state officers are
also planning to take him on fish
scenic attractions of Maine. At that
time, it Is said, the plans for the
keystone special, are likely to be
discussed.
Much of the credit for bringing the
National Grange to Maine, where 1t
has met but once before. belongs to
State Master Abbott, who bestirrcd
himself nightly on behalf of his
state, and he attended last years
convention with the knowledge that
he had the backing of Portland bust
ness men in his efforts Now he Is
going to be busy for the next few
months in h.,ping to arrange for de-
tails OF the convention.

 TOTAL IS S347,000
S70,000 Expected to Go Back
 Into Savings Banks
