KEROSENE OIL TREATMENT
1 * 031 Is Gradually Recovering From the
Bhoi-li of the Application—llow
and When to Administer,
Department ot Extomoloov,
Atlanta, Ga., July, 1900.
(Br W. M. Scott,State Entomologist.)
The Sax Jose Scale.— This pest is
•now gradually recovering from the
shook it received by the treatment to
‘‘Stand Od cock tails,” which flowed so
freely through the infested orchards last
winter, in spite of the high price of this
oily nrticle. The continuous rains of the
past month, however, have greatly 're¬
tarded the multiplications of the Sau
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. Meanwhile the
mothers, apparently realizing the peril
of their newly born young have decreas¬
ed their daily quota of nevt lives and re¬
linquished for a space their claim to the
most prolific animals in existence. The
estimate of 3,21G,0t.0,400 ill sects as the
annual descendants from one individual
female will fall far short this season,
thanks to tho rains; ‘‘it is an ill wind
that blows good to no one,” But unfor¬
tunately those rains have como at a
season when the fruit crop is at its vul¬
nerable point, and rot among the peaches,
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 pretnisw infested
with the San Jose scale to prepare for a
summer treatment. As soon ns tho fruit
crop is gathered infested trees should be
sprayed with 10 per cent, kerosene in
mechanical mixture with water. Of the
two kerosene pumps now on the market,
one made by the DcmiugCo., 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 care should be taken in the
use of kerosene as a summer wash, as
there is always more or less danger of
injury to the tree* sprayed. Not over
10 per cent, should be used and the leaves
should not be left dripping. In our ex¬
periments with this remedy it was noted
that, notwithstanding great care, some
of the peach leaves were scorched
around the margins and when particles
of kerosene lodged on a leaf it burnt lit¬
tle “shot-holes” through it; but this
slight injury did not result in permanent
damage to the trees. Every part of the
body and limbs should be thoroughly
moistened with the spray but no attempt
should be made to drench the leaves,
for the reason referred to above. It is
true that the acsale ooours in great num¬
bers on the leaves as well as the bark of
the tree, but they oannof be satisfac¬
torily destroyed by giving the foliage a
thorough spraying without doing con¬
siderable damage. Furthermore, when
the leaves shed in the fall, and die, the
scale insects infesting them will like¬
wise perish.
This summer treatment is by no
means sufficient. It must be followed
in tho fall, as soon as the foliage is shed,
by an application of 20 per cent, kero¬
sene. The fall or winter treatment can
be applied much more thoroughly than
the summer treatment, ae the foliage is
then ont of the way. To obtain good
result* every portion of the infested tree
must be-wet from the ground to the tip*
of the twigs, but care should be taken
not to allow the kerosene to rnn down
and collect about the base of the tree.
Last winter a number ®f trees were kill
ed by sach carelessness.
