World's Biggest Rirciis and Spec
tacle “Cinderella” Announced
For Early Date.
Announcement is made that on
Friday, Oct. 20th., Ringling Bros,
circus will give afternoon and
night preformances at Albany.
The famous showmen arc this
season presenting.an all now and
wonderful program. The tremend
ous fairyland spectacle, “Cinder
clla” will appeal to both young
and old. More than 1000 persons
t ke part in. it. It is easily the
biggest spectacle Ringlirg Bros’,
have ever staged and its glorious

Atlanta, da.—It la almost time to get
busy with the dormant aoa3on spray
ing of fruit trees, such as peach, apple,
pear and plum, which are subject to
attack by the San Joso scale. It doesn't
mnku much difference to Georgia horti
culturists where the San Joso scale
came from or how It got here; the
all-important thing with them Is to
keep It down so as to protect their
trees and fruit.
Another pest that Is seriously de
structive tn Georgia, and for which
the fall spraying treatment should bo
used, Is tho “Gloomy scale” on shade
trees. There is scarcely a city or town
in Georgia but has Ub shade trees,
sometimes many of them, that are
gradually being killed cut by tills pest,
which Is very much like the San Joso
scale.
The scientific name of the San Joso
Is “ABpldlotus Pernlclosns,” while that
of the Oloomy scalo is “Aspldlotus Ob-
scura.” However that may be, it is
indicative of the fact that they uro
closely allied, the only practical dif
ference being that they attack dif
ferent sorts of trees. It would take
an expert entomol.ogist 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, maplo3
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 la 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 moBt effective spray for Sau-Josb
scale is the' well known commercial
lime-sulphur solution; but tho gloomy
scale is tougher and moro 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 theso
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 saved 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
<m Inti mu to and cartful study of tho
subjm, has recently prepared several
uullctlna relating to spraying, pnrllcu-
aily f„r fruit trees, and these tuny
be had by any ono interested, upon
application to the de'partmoht.
l or shrubs, smull sltado and small
mill trees, Mr, Cltuso recommends tho
band compressed air sprayer, which
la slun B over tho Bhoulder. It will
serve for hedge plants and small or.
chnjdu, and the best type of comploto
out m may bo had for about $ti or $8.00.
Hut when It comes to larger-shade
trees and mpt'o extensive orchards, a
different typo of sprayer must bo
used. The barrel sprayer which limy
be mounted in a barrel, ur bought sep
arately and mounted at home, will
servo for mnny ulmde trees and tor
orchards up to 2,000 or 3,000 trees,
llte complete outfit with nil nccesso*
t'le.s may be had for about $25.
For very largo shade trees, pocan
gloves and tho moro extensive peach,
apple and plum orchards, the gasoline
pawer pump, should he used. This
may be had In mnny sizes and 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 homo, whereas tho
complete outfit, ready-made, costs
fiom $200 to $360. •
Get The Right Materials -
Care shoiild he used tn socurlng the
besl grade and sultablo typo of nozzle.
For .tlie small orchard 40 feet of 7-ply
hose, with extension rod of varying
length. Used with tho barrel pump, will
answer. For spraying peaches, shrubs,
hedge rows, etc., tho "Mistry" type
of nozzle, giving a hollow oone-fllto
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 tho homo-made lime-sulphur
preparation, on account of difficulties
attendant upon Its manufacture, in fa
vor or 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 treos Is what Is known
as “Scaleclde," a commercial, solublo
oil, preparation, that has great pene-
tialing qualities, This Is now general-
lj- recommended for this purposo.
The board of entomology, upoq ap
plication, will be glad to supply nny
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-'
’ttculnrly. important that it bo ilono
thoroughly.'
