SAN JOSE SCALE DOES IMMENSE HARM
TO MANY PROFITABLE ORCHARD TREES
Usually Farmer or Fruit Grower Does Not Discern Trouble Until
Too Late to Employ Ordinary and Practicable
'r Methods of Eradication.

(By FRANKLIN SHEUMAN, JP. . En
tomologist, North Carolina Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
The San J030 scalo doc3 great
harm to orchard treca which become
infested, unless they bo thoroughly
and persistently treated. Iu order to
combat it to the best advantage some
knowledge of Its life-history, habits,
means of spread, etc., la necessary.
Trees that are badly infested with
the San Jose scale appear as if they
Iliad boen dusted over with ashes. If the
branches and twigs where the Insects
,are numerous bo scraped with a knlfo
it will bo seen that thla unnatural
covering is quite easily removed, com
ing off in little flaky patches. Each
of the little circular gray objects Is a
separate scale, each covering a tiny
yellow Insect underneath. On thickly
infested branches they often become
so crowded that the scales ar piled
ver one another so that the real bark
of the tree Is not vislblo at all.
Branches and twlgB which are only
slightly or moderately Infested will
Tiot be thus completely covered over,
,and the bark may bo of its ordinary
jcolor and appearance excopt hero and
Ithere along tho branches where the
.'scattering scales are found. Tho larg
est full-grown scales are about tho
size of an average pinhead. They can,
therefore, be doteoted by any person
who has In tho beginning an Intelli
gent Idea of tho Insect, has sharp eyes,
and who happens to look la the right
place.
Usually tho farmer or fruit grow
er does not know that there Is any
eerlous trouble until the troes begin
to die. By that tlmo they are covered
by the scales and present the ashy ap
pearance. Then, If tho owner finds
that his trouble is San Jose scale, ho
jls apt to think that It la only on thoso
.trees that present tho unnatural ap
pearance, when in reality it may al
ready be on every tree in tho orchard.
Such a mistake often costs tho lives
of many trees, since tho ownor, in
stead of examining closely and treat
ing every Infested tree, as ho should
do, Blmplytakes out thoso which are
already in dying condition, and then,
because ho seea no more of Blmilar
appearance, ho Imagines ho haB exter
minated It, whon as a matter of fact
.other trees moderately or slightly in
ifestod still stand In tho orchard and
.soon begin to die, having In tho moan
;tlme spread the Insect Into still othor
trees, and so on, until the whole orch
ard may bo ruined.

iSEEDS FOR SPRING
CROPS SOWN IN FALL
'Ground Should Be Deep and
Mellow, With Moist Soil, Until
Plants Are Rooted.
Seeds for the spring crops are sown
in September, from the Hfteonth to
tho twentieth, for tho first sowing,
nnd the first week in October for the
late seeding, says the Baltimore Amor
Icon. Have the ground deop and mel
low. Sow one quart of wood ashes
and one pint of bone (lour ovor each
elx-foot square bod and rake it In,
ithon sow the seed and cover lightly
.with fine earth. Keep the Boll moist
until plants aro well rooted. Tho ob
ject Is to get good, strong, young
plants, with plenty of fibrous roots.
These plants aro set out In ridges the
last week In October or In tho cold
frames. The plants are set deop on
tho north side of ridge of earth. Where
tho winter temperature Is not below
zero for more than a day or so dur
ing tho winter, tho plantB, If well
grown, can bo Bet out In tho open
ground. A slight covering of brush

living young, for this species does net
lay eggs a3 is the case with most in
sects. The males, on the othor hand,
finally develop Into tiny two-winged
fly-like Insects, but In consequence of
their sex thoy can not play much part
In spreading the Insect, as young can
only be born whoro females aro pres
ent, nnd these, aB we have stated, re
main attached to the twigs.
The insect was not dlscoverell Jn
tho eastern United States until
August, 1893. At that time it was
found in Charlottesville, Va. It was
Boon found that tho infested troeo
were purchased from nurseries which
had been Introducing stock from Cali
fornia. Then fruitgrowers and ento
mologists began 'to inspect orchards
especially for this pest, and In 1S97,
five years after Its dlacovocy In Vir
ginia, it was known to exist In twenty
states cast of tho Mississippi river.
One thorough spraying (or washing),
each year with proper remedies, will
keep tho San Joso scalo in good con
trol. This 1b amply proven by tho ex
pcrlenco of hundreds of our fruitgrow
ers and farmers every year.
It Is best to give tho treatment In j
lato winter, before tho buds have
opened (February or early March),
but any time after the leaves aro shed
In fall and before tho buds open in
spring will do. Spraying with a regu
lar spray pump Is by far tho best;
method. For this treatment the great
majority of growers depend on llmo
sulphur wasfi (either commercial or
tho home-made), or soluble oil (of
which thero are several brands).
Although tho wolght of opinion Is In
favor of lato winter as tho ono best
time to spray for scale, yet a few peo
ple prefer fall spraying, and somo
even spray both In fall and late win
ter, though wo do not think this Is
necossary as a regular practice. Fall
spraying Is dono afterVall fruit has
been gathered, when tho leaves have
begun to drop, or soon after they havo
dropped. For fall spraying wo bellove
there aro special advantages in using
tho solublo oils, as they will penotrato
more of the small crevices nnd rench
a largor percentage of tho small
young scales which pass tho winter.
On the othor hand tho llmo-sulphur
solutions leave a coating on tho
branches so that whon they aro ap
plied in lato winter this coating acts
nn ft considerable nrotoctlon to tho
trees during spring and early summer.
So, If ono wants to como as near as
possible to exterminating tho scales
we believe that the beat plan would
be to use soluble oil In fall and lime
sulphur In Into winter. But wo want
to emphaslzo the fact that tho Insects
are so small that absoluto extermina
tion 1b Impracticable (If not absolute
ly Impossible), nnd oven at tho best
wo must expect, and plan, to treat in
fested trees onco oach year.

METHOD OF USift WINDMILLS
Especially Adapted for Pumping Irri
gation Water for Garden and Sup
plementary Supply.
(Uy a E. P SMITH. Ariioim Expert
mem Station.)
Tho records of wind movoment show
considerable difference In tho amount
of wind In different months, but tho
wind for any month Is npproximatoly
Iho annio on succeeding years. In any
locality, therefore tho oxperlcnco of
ono or two years will enable nn ob
sorvnnt ranchor to know In advance
how much ground It Is safo to plant.
Wherever windmills are much used,
It Is customary to build reservoirs
close by. For houso service and cattlo
waturlnjg they sbrvo as storage to pro
vldo for periods of calm weather. For
Irrigation ubos they aro too small to
bo of importance as storage, but they
servo as accumulators of water, per
haps for sovcral days, nnd whon thoy
aro filled tho water can bo drawn out
and applied to tho flelda In a few
hours. Thus thoy aavo the Irrigator's
tlmo and thoy sortire an Irrigating
"head" which can Iw gotten over tho
ground as desired, it is not desirablo
to build large reservoirs, ns the, loss
by evaporation and seepage U then of
greater moment than tho gain In othor
directions
Fortunniely tho months of greatest
wind movoment aro the spring nnd
early summer months, which Include
tho best growing season. In order to
tako advantngo of tho high winds of
early spring, tho garden irrigator
should borrow from the dry farmpr
the method of water storage in tho
soil. During the season before seed
Is planted, heavy irrigations can bo
Given, preferably In deop furrows, and
after each division of tho gnrdon is
thus treated, the furrows should bo
covered by cultivation to prevent- tho
escape of tho moisture. If tho soil
Is loamy and deep and retentive, fif
teen to twenty Inches depth of water
can be advantageously stored In this
way. If tho boII Is shallow and under
lain by porous gravola, such irriga
tions uro a wasto of time and water.
There are two conditions in which
windmills nro especially adapted for
Irrigation pumping. First, for the
house and garden lot, whero no other
pumping plant Is available nnd where
tho depth to groundwater is not ex
cessive. Very often tho windmill is
required for house servlco, and since
that servlco does not work the mill to
more than a fraction of Its cnpaclty, It
can bo utilized the rest of tho tlmo
watering a garden or an alfalfa patch
for poultry with no additional Invest
ment. In ono Instanco on record a
windmill lifting water ninety feet- fur
nished tho water supply for n house
and for Irrigating eighty-seven or
chard trees and thirty-two othor mis
cellaneous plants. Tho socond condi
tion In which tho windmill Is adapted
for Irrigation servlco Is to provldo a
supplementary water Biipply to help
but dry-farmed crops. Thero aro largo
areas In Arizona where dry farming
uuahlcd is almost, though not quite,
successful, provided Judicious selec
tion of crops 1b mado. The experi
ments of this station have shown that
in such cases a small amount of sup
plementary Irrigation Increases tho
ylold out of proportion to the small
amount of water appllod, even so
small an amount as throe or four
inches depth making tho difference bo
tween crop failure and profit. Over
a consldorablo area which promises to
bo utilized In this manner tho valley !
fill Is of such a character that It Is
impossible to develop a well nt ono
placo which yields sufficient water for
u, ceniruugni pump, yei mo hiuw cuu
st'nnt draught of a windmill pump can
bo supplied. Both conditions presup
poso that' tho prevailing winds are
strong.
If tho windmill Is used to lrrlgata
garden crops buch as tomatoes, which
need irrigation every few days, it Is
desirablo to purchase a small gasoline
engine of ono or two horsopowor nnd
connect It to tho pump rods by belt or
gearing. It Is then available for uso
when tho wind does not blow.
It Pays to Fatten Poultry.
Thero 1b ordinarily from throe to
seven cents per pound difference In
tho prico paid for well-fleshed or fat
tened birds, to that paid for birds Just
off the range or fields. This means a
difference of from 15 to 35 cents on
the five-pound chicken, depending upon
tho quality.
Not only does tho feeder make upon
tho gain mado while tho chicken Is
being fattened, hut the original
weight Is Increased In value by tho
Improvement In quality. There is al
ways a market for good or prliim
quality, and the poor quality goes at
begging prices, when tho supply I)

System In Feeding.
Fowls should havo empty croi In
the morning, nnd tho crop sho ild
never be quite full until It Is tlmo m
go to roost. For tho first feed gialu
scattered In tho Uttor In tho morning
Is preferred, the soonor the better.
Thl3 Induces them to exercise, in the
rnlddlo of tho day a warm, moistened
mash should bo given, about what
they will eat. And at night before
they go to roost n liberal feed of
grain should be scattered In the lit

Sunflowers In the Run.
A patch of aunflowofo will not only
furnish tho flock of hens refreshing
shade during the hot summer days,
hut tho seed from tho rlpo heads will
furnish a moat welcome change dur
Jng tho moulting season.
If a liboral amount of earth Is talc.

have reached a bolght of from 18 to
24 Inches.
