punctured, and some of the local own

scattering those tacks has been kept
up for over a week, and the mobilise

prosecute the person responsible for
the hidden meanness. If Sheriff

frem the south to the north. The de

northern brethren in solving the

which they are ever ready to harp

this country as a slave and freed him
in the south. Why should they ob

Shade and Fruit Trees Need
Spraying Now Against Scale
Atlanta, Ga. —It is almost time to get
busy with the dormant season spray
ing of fruit tree ;, such as peach, apple,
pear and plum, which are subject to
attack by the San Jose scale. It doesn’t
make much difference to Georgia horti
culturists where the San Jure scale
came from or how it got li re; the
all-important thing with int-ni is to
keep it down so as to protect their'
trees and fruit,
Another pest that is seriously de
structive in Georgia, ami for which
the fall ; praying treatment should he
used, is the "Gloomy scale” cn shade
trees. There is scarcely a city or town
in Georgia but has its shade trees,
somem -es many of them, that are
gradually being krieu oat by this pest,
Which is very much like the San Jose
scale.
The scientific name of the San Jose
is “Aspidiotus Perniciosus,” while that
of tiie Gloomy scale is "Aspidiotus Ob
scura.” However that may be, it is
indicative of the tact that they are
closely allied, the only practical, dif
ference being that they attack dif
ferent sorts of trees. It would take
an expert entomologist to tell the
difference between the two from the
sample.
Scale Killing Many Trees
The shade trees most subject to at
tack by this scale are oaks, maples
and poplars. It is particularly severe
on maples, and in almost every in
stance, where these shade trees are
found dying throughout the state, the
cause may be traced to this insect.
There is but one remedy, but one
thing that will protect and save the
life of the tree, and that is spraying.
But for effective work different
sprays must be used on the two scales.
The most effective spray for San Jose
scale is the well known commercial
lime-sulphur solution; but the gloomy
scale is tougher and more difficult of
penetration, and for substantial re
sults the soluble oils, such as scale
cide, must be used in proportions of
about one of oil to twelve or fifteen of
water, forming an emulsion.
The State Board of Entomology
recommends and urges both fall and
spring sprayings against both these
scales. The trees should be sprayed
in the fall after all the leaves have
fallen, and again in the spring just
before the buds open.
It makes no difference whether one
tree, one hundred trees or one hun
dred thousand are involved, spraying
is absolutely necessary, if they are to
be protected and slaved from the de
structive work of these insects.
Machinery For Spraying
The proper spraying machinery is
all-important. Assistant State Ento
mologist W. W. Chase, who has made

ATLANTA, - GEORGIA
an intimate and careful study of the
subject, lias recently prepared several
bulletins relating to spraying, particu
larly for fruit trees, and these may
be had by any one interested, upon
application to the department.
For shrubs, small shade and small
fruit trees, Mr. Cha-e recommends'the
hand compressed air sprayer, which
is slung over the shoulder. It will
serve tor hedge plants and small or
chards, and the best type of complete
outfit may be had for about $6 or SB.OO.
But when it comes 10 larger shade
trees and more extensive orchards, a
different type of sprayer must be
used. The barrel sprayer which may
be mounted in a barrel, or bought sep
arately and r.i ui : 1 . t h-.re, will
serve tor many shade tiees an-1 for
orchards up to 2,000 or 8,000 trees.
The complete outf ; with all accesso
ries may be had for about $25.
For very large shade trees, pecan
groves and the more extensive peach,
apple and plum orchards, the gasoline
power pump should be used. This
may be had in many sizes anil at dif
ferent prices. It is possible to get
a' good pump and engine for about
$125, and build a tank and set up
the machinery at home, whereas the
complete outfit, ready-made, costs
from S2OO to $350.
Get The Right Materials
Care should be used in securing the
best grade and suitable typ& of nozzle.
For the'small orchard 40 feet of 7-ply
hose, with extension rod of varying
length used with the barrel pump, will
answer. For spraying peaches,, shrubs,
hedge rows, etc., the “Mrstry” type
of nozzle, giving a hollow cone-like
spray of fine mist, should be used.
For spraying shade trees use the
Bordeaux nozzle which throws a flat,
solid stream to a considerable height.
Orchardmen have practically aban
doned the home-made lime-sulphur
preparation, on account of difficulties
attendant upon its manufacture, in fa
vor of the commercial lime-sulphur
concentrate, which may be had in
practically every city, and which, when
used according to directions, is most
effective in the spraying of fruit trees
against San Jose scale.
One of the best sprays for gloomy
scale on shade trees is what is known
as “Scalecide,” a commercial, solubla
oil preparation, that has great pene
trating qualities. This is now general
ly recommended for this purpose.
The board of entomology, upon im
plication, will be glad to supply any
information desired with reference to
spraying machinery, sprays, methods
of application, etc.
Fall spraying should be done with
in the next few weeks, and it is par
ticularly important that it be done
thoroughly.
