State Board of Entomology Tells How
to Keep Down the San
Jose Scale.
Atlanta, Ga.—It is about spraying
time with the orchard men of Geor¬
gia. Spraying lias come to be about
as important a feature of fruit-grow¬
ing as plowing is of farming.
The first spraying for San Jose
scale is usually done from the first
to the middle of November, and the
second from the first to the 15th of
February, or just before the trees
begin to bud. In well conducted or¬
chards, where the scale has shown
any sign of acquiring a foothold, two
sprayings are made each season,
In orchard men
spray only one time, usually just be¬
fore the buds begin to appear on the
trees. The double spraying, however,
has been found both advantageous
and profitable, says the State Depart¬
ment of Entomology, in that it practi¬
cally rids the orchard of the insect so
far as any damage is concerned during
the fruit season.
Ever since the scale was Introduc¬
ed into Georgia, presumably by in¬
fected nursery stock from New Jer¬
sey, there has been a constant fight
of the fruit growers to mitigate and
lessen its destructiveness. It seems
impossible entirely to eradicate, but
by careful attention and thorough
spraying, its ravages may be reduced,
says State Entomologist E. Lee Wor¬
sham, to a practically insignificant
minimum.
The San Jose scale was first dis¬
covered in this country In San Jose,
California, In the early seventies. That
was where It got Its name. It was
brought to this country either from
Japan or China. It spread rapidly
from California and by 1887 reached
New Jersey, in ten years more it
had gotten a foothold in practically
all of the fruit growing states, and
since its introduction into Georgia
In 1889, It has spread to more thart
100 counties. Latterly, however, its
spread has been slow, owing to the
rigid laws enforced against It by the
State Board of Entomology.
Work Of the Scale.
This pest is a email insect which
covers Itself with a waxy scale under
which It lives. It attacks all parts of
the tree, — trunk, stem, leaves and
fruit. The trees are injured by the
extraction of the plant juices and
by poisoning of the sap through the
punctures made by the insect. As
these insects increase very rapidly,
an infested tree w r ill soon become
entirely covered, turning grayish in
color and dying if nothing Is done
to stop the ravages of the scale.
Y’oung trees are injured more rapidly
than old ones, and may be killed en¬
tirely within two or three years.
So far as has been determined
by careful experiments, the
effective remedy is spraying with
either a manufactured or. home¬
made preparation of lime and sul¬
phur.
There are various soluble oils sold
by manufacturers for spraying for San
Jose scale, a number of which have
been thoroughly tested out by the
State Department of Entomology. In
bulletins which it has issued the de¬
partment gives a statement of the re¬
sults attained from the use of these
oils and emulsions, which in a num
number of instances were eminently
satisfactory.
The Best Remedy.
When everything is said, there is
no doubt about the fact that the best
results have been attained by the use
of the home-made lime sulphur solu¬
tion. This is made of 21 pounds of
stone lime, 18 pounds of flour of sul¬
phur and fifty gallons of water. To
prepare, mix the sulphur into a paste
with a small amount of hot water,
then add fifteen or twenty gallons of
hot water. Stir until the sulphur is
well mixed and then add the lime.
Boil vigorously for forty-five minutes.
To secure the dirty greenish-yellow
color, which the solution will have
when properly boiled, may take long¬
er or less time, depending on how it
Is cooked. Many now use steam in
cooking this solution, which is by far
the best way. When boiled sufficient¬
ly dilute with water to fifty gallons,
and spray on trees while the solution
is still warm. Use only on dormant
trees.
This is the most inexpensive and,
at the same time, the most effective
remedy known for San Jose scale.
There are a number of prepared lime
sulphur solutions made by the vari¬
ous chemical jcompanies, which are
equally effective in the destruction of
the scale, and which may be used
at approximately the same cost as the
home-made preparation. Where a
very small quantity is needed, it is
perhaps cheaper to use the ready¬
made solutions than to purchase the
necessary equipment for making it.
Both the manufactured and the home¬
made solutions have been found equal¬
ly '
effective in scale eradication in
Georgia, but the home-made goods,
carrying a heavier percentage of free
lime, eventually clean the trees more
thoroughly of rough bark and dead ;
scales. of lime Another is that advantage it leaves of the the ex- |
cess trees
white, thus showing any part of the
tree not sprayed.
Two Sprayings Best.
Two sprayings, one in the late fall
and one in the very early spring be¬
fore the buds come out, should ef¬
fectually keep down the scale in any
orchard. The department does not en¬
courage summer spraying because a
spray strong enough to kill the scale
will also seriously injure the foliage
of the trees. It is considered far bet¬
ter in most cases to postpone spraying
until the trees are dormant, then ap¬
ply the strong lime-sulphur solution,
which will give effective results.
For small orchards the oidinary
barrel outfit with one or two leads
of hose and good nozzles, should be
employed; but in large orchards it
is essential to use power outfits. It
is extremely important to apply poi¬
sons with force, if good results are to
be obtained.
