The San Josf. Scale.— This pent i»
now gradually recovering from the
shock it received by the treatment to
"Stand Oil cock-tails,” which flowed so
freely through the infested orchards last
winter, in spite of the high price of this
oily article. The continuous rains of the
past month, however, have greatly re¬
tarded the multiplications of the San
Jose scale and millions of the little crea¬
tures have been brought forth into ex¬
istence only to be quickly washed from
the trees and drowned. MeanwMle the
mothers, apparently realizing the peril
at their newly born young have decreas¬
ed their daily quota of new livee and re¬
linquished for a space their claim to the
nlost prolific animals in existence. The
estimate of 8,216,080,400 insects ae the
annual descendants from one individual
female will fall far short this season,
thanks to the rains; "it is an ill wind
that blows good to no ono. ” But unfor¬
tunately those rains have como at a
season when the fruit, crop is at its vul¬
nerable point, and rot among the poaches,
induced by the damp weather, is doing
considerable damage.
Now that the fruit crop is being rap¬
idly removed from the trees, it behooves
every man who owns premises infested
w-ith the San Jose scale to prepare for a
summer treatment. As Soon as the fruit
crop is gathered infested trees should be
sprayed with 10 per cent, kerosene in
mechanical mixture with water. Of the
two keroseno pumps now ou the market,
one made by tho Doming Co., Salem,
Ohio, the other by the Goulds Mfg. Co.,
Seneca Falls, N. Y., the latter is more
reliable and the writer recommends it in
preference to the former.
Particular erne should be taken in the
use of kerosene as a summer wash, as
there Is always more or less danger of
Injury to the trees sprayed. Not over
10 per c' nt. should be used and the leaves
should not be left dripping. In our ex¬
periments with this remedy it was noted
that, notwithstanding great oare, some
of the peach leaves wore scorched
around tho 'margins and when partiole*
of keroseno lodged on a leaf it burnt lit¬
tle “shot-holes” through it; but this
slight injury did not result in permanent
damage to tho trees. Every part of th«
body and limbs should be thoroughly
moistened with the spray but no attempt
should bo made to drench the leaves,
for the reason referred to above. It i*
truo that tho scale occurs in great num¬
bers on the leaves as well as tho bark of
the tree, but they cannot be satisfac¬
torily destroyed by giving the foliago a
thorough spraying without doing con¬
siderable damage. Furthermore, when
the leaves shed iu the fall, and die, th«
scale insects infesting thotn will like¬
wise porish.
This summer treatment is by no
means sufficient. It must bo followed
in tho fall, as soon as tho foliage is shed,
by an application of 20 per cent, kero¬
sene. The fall or winter treatment can
be applied muoh more thoroughly than
the summer treatment, as the foliage ii
then out of the way. To obtain good
results every portion of the infestod tree
must bo wet from the ground to the tips
of the twigs, but euro should be taken
uot to allow the kerosene to run down
and collect about t ho baso of the tree.
Lost winter a number of trees were kill
ed by such carelessness.
Some growers with infested orchard*
