The San Jose Scale.—This pest ii
now gradually recovering from the
shock it received by the treatment tc
"Stand Oil cock-tails,” which flowed so
freely through tho infested orchards last
winter, in spite of the high price of thii
oily article. The continuous rains of the
post month, however, have greatly re
tarded the multiplications of the Sau
Jose scale and millions of tho littlo crea
tures have been brought forth into ex
istence only to bo qnickly washed from
the trees and drowned. Meanwhile tht
mothers, apparently realizing tho perl!
of their newly bom young have decreas
ed their daily quota of new lives and re
linquished for a space their claim to the
most prolific animals in existence. The
estimate of 3,210,080, 100 insects as the
annual descendants from ono individual
female will fall far short this season
thanks to tho rains; “it is an ill wind
that blows good to no ono. ” But unfor
tunately these ruins havo come at 0
season when the fruit crop is at its vul
nerable point, and rot among the peaches,
induced by ike damp weather, is doinfl
considerable damage.
Now that the fruit crop is being rap
idly removed from the trees. It behoove!
every man who owns premises infested
with tho Son Jose scale to prepare for u
summer treatment. As soon os the fruit
crop is gathered infested trees should K
sprayed with 10 per cent, kerosene in
mechanical mixture with water. Of the

reliable and tho writer recommends it in
preference to tho former.
Particular care should be taken in th<
use of kerosene ns a summer wash, aJ
there is always more or less danger ol
injury to tho troes sprayed. Not ovei
10 per cent, should bo used and the leave!
should not b^left dripping. In oar ex
periments with this remedy it was noted
that, notwithstanding great care, somi
of tho peach leaves were scorched
around the margins and when particlci
of kerosenB lodged on a leaf it bnrnt lit
tie “shot-holes" through it; But thii
slight injury did not rosnlt in pcrmanonl
damage to the trees. Every part of thi
body and limbs should bo thorough!)
moistened with the spray but no attempt
should be tnodo to drench the laavoa
for tho reason referred to above. It ii
true that the scale occurs in great num
bers on tho leaves os weU os tho bark ol
tho treo, but they cannot bo satisfao
torily destroyed by giving the foliago i
thorough spraying without doing con
siderable damage. Furthermore, wher
the leaves shed in the fall, and dlo, thl
scale Insects infesting them will like
wise perish.
This summer treatment is by no
means suflicient. It must be followed
I or crude petrolium as a remedy for
scale, using about three barrels of
substance. The applications were mnd<
in March before tho trees bloomed
Different percentages of the crude
wore used, from tho pure substanci
down to 20 per cent, in water, applied
with the regular kerosene sprayers
Only peach and plum trees were used
the experiments. Without giving
tails of the work It is sufficient to an)
that the pure crude petrolium killed tht
trees while CO per cent, and less appar
ently did no damage, and fio por cent,
proved to bo sufficient to destroy tin
scale insects wherever thoy were reach
ed by the spmy.
The sprayed trees remained oily fol
six weeks after the application was modi
and it is impossible for the insects
live with such a coating of grease ovei
them. Then tho question arises, wh)
uot recommend erode petrolium ns
remedy for the Son Jose scale ? It wat
at first thought a cheap remedy for-dht
scale had been found and that this pesl
could be easily controlled at little ex
pense; bnt it was later determined thal
the price fixed by the Standard Oil Ca
for crude petrolium was aboat tho earns
as the price for refined kerosene. It wal
then thought that the substance could
be obtained much cheaper at tho oil
wells, bnt tho writer has been unable sc
far to find a well, the out put of which
is not controlled By tho Stamlard Oil Ca
Furthermore, at the recent annual ie»
siou of tho Association of Economic En
tomologists held at New York, Dr. E
P. Felt, State Entomologist of New Yarl
Stute, rood a paper giving his experi
ments with the nse of crude oil agninsl
the scale, and the discussion that follow
ed, in which entomologists from differ
ent sections of the country took port,
showed conflicting results as to tho ef
fect of this substance upon sprayed trees.
In some experiments trees were killed,
while in others no damage was done;
but no one seemed to doubt the effloienc)
of tho crude oil in killing the insects.
In view of these conflicting results and
the high price of tho article, the write!
hesitates to recommend the substitution
of crude petrolium for tho refined kero
sene. Tho grower may choose for him
self betwoen the two substances.
