Shade and Fruit Trees Need Spraying Now Against Scale CPNIG THIS WE 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 “Ballet of the Fairies,” with 300 us your Printing 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.'
