The annual loss to {rui'b-girowers Uirougtb iinsecta was very great. la Ontario there were 10,000,000 apple tr:ea, 6,000,000 Oif which were la bearing. These produced in 1896, 5(i,000,000 busOiels of apples, buit only a few of theon were akaoliLitely perfect apples. The apples sold iu our stores a<nd put upon Uie tables at our hotels were a disgrace to the coumtry. By spraying with the proper mixture and at the proper cuiie there was no reason why 80 or UO per ceat. ot the fru:.t abouid. not be per- fect. IjL som« cases 100 per cent oZ per- fect fruiit was obtaimed. Spraying has jean dexuonstraied to be a success, and the fnut was larger, cleamer, brighter and poesesaed superior keeping quali- ties. Feople are gradually awakimg to the fact that the aprayimig is indispens- able to th>d up-to-date orchardiat. There had been catalogued. 350 species of i.as«cts whicb feed upon the appio. These were duvided in^tu two classes, ac- cordijitg to the lfurm.aticni of Cheir mouths. Ut, Masticatory imsects, such as cat- erpillars and beetles. 2ad, Suctorial iu^jects, suoh as lice and scales. The first were treated 'by putting poison on their food. The second were treated by usung dotue solution whicb killed by contact. tor Masticatory iinsecta, Paris Green should be used, I lb.- to iW gallons of water for appl*;"- F*>' suctorial insects. Kerosene KmuJsiion ahuuld be applied. X'o make Kerosene ^malsijon take Hard soap, 1-2 pouiid, or soft soap, I qt. Boiling water, aoift, 1 gallon. Coal ad, i gallons. After disaoiving tJ*e soap in the wat- er, add this coal oU and siir well for 5 tt> 10 nLinutee. When properly mix- ad, ut will adhere to glass without oill- neaa. A syr.ngo or pouiii will aid miKih â- ta this work. In u^iug; dilute with (rum 9 to 15 parts of water. Kerosene ' orcfljard of tweinJ:y acrea ia practically all i.niested and many trees have died. In Hriggs and Shmvman's orchard, ot 20,000 acres, t.h<^ scale was discovered. After a critical examliution only fifty trees were foumd infested. On a fur- tJier examuiatiioin wiiLin three months about 1,000 trees were foudul infested. In some cases tihe infested trees have been uprooted and burned. In otJier c.i3i^--> thorou<^ spraying has lieen giv- en them. The resull.s from spray'jig have l>een far from satisfactory and matters are worse than they were a year ago. The Georgia Experimental Station Bulletla ISOT, says: "Two years ago few OTohardista im Georgia bad heard of the San JoBe waJe. To-day fruit growers there are aghast at the pro*. pect, for the power of the scale to de- vastate Is better Uttulerstood." It is at last realized that not only are OUT ocrharils In danger, but the ex- isteince of all dieclduous vegetation is threatened, aliould the pest once he- axne dlstriljuted g«aierally tihroughout our forests: for ijj that case ail hope ot its final extinction would be lost, and it would remain a atiuiding menaoe forever. By far Che beat remedy is the axe and the matchbox. Where the trees are badly in/ested their loss is Inevitable, even should remedial treat- ment auifceed In ridding them of the pest, for their vitality will be found to hanre been sapped to sucih an extent that they will never prove profitable. Time, money aitd future trouble will be saved by aduptijig heroic treat- nuent. Mbrfover It is almost aa im- poBsi.biUty to absolutely extinguish the 31- lie when' onoe fully entrenched with- out the di'strui'tion of the wood on which it niMrlshea. Otur first ad/vioe, therefore, is under any and all ctrciun- stances to GRLS UP AND BURN INFESTED TRJiES. It will pay in the end. The latest bulletin published by the Ohio Agri- cultural Experimental Station, dated July. 1897, says: "The pr'Sunce of this Insect on any one's prwuises is a calamity, and uni'ontrulled becomes a public danger that should not be toler- ated. Against this oixwt inaiduoua pe.»t boti nurserymen and fruit grow- ers are alike practically helpless in detecting its presence, until it has i-eiised to \k liie insignificaut atom that it at first appeara and bus Ije- come master. Heretofore orchards and nurseries were tvnsidered aa the only places In special dang.T, but recent di.<»T>veries of the pest on forest and orname-ntal trees shows that this was mistake. Ii has been fuumt on the lit can eveiT be stamped out where lit has been thoroughly established. It ia, therefore, impossible to say that the scale ia completely exterminated from any or«^hard or nuxsery until a ntunber of years have elapsed." We Icnow that many American uuraerues are infested, and for our prote<-tion we should have Legislation authorizing tbe thorough iiiapection, and, if necessary, the treat- i<ng and quarantining of aU nursery stiM-k ivnd fruif ix>mi>ng inU. the coun- try â€" whether accx>ai,]xiaied by '- cer- tificate of iiiupection or not. We h*ve been receiving from, the United States fruit infested with the scale for the past ten years, and nursery st.>ck for four or fi-ve years. We found Call^- fornia pears this sea.vju in Toronto and London infested wi^th tbe scalar which blight easily have beea com- municated to some tree or plsjit. The San Juse Act recently passed by the I^egislative Assembly of Ontario provides for the i<ii^>ection of ausiiected otrchards. and the destnu-tioa of in- fested trees. It aiao provides for comr penaation to the extent of 1-4 the va>- lue of the trees. The Sun Jose scale can be identified as follows: lat. It ia round. ^nd. It is armoured. <ird. The bark or fruit ariMind tha scale is discolored rr^ddish or jurple. Every fruit-grower should have a pocket lees which can l>e had at about SOr.. and shnuld examine bis trees, es- pecially th<«a which are not duing well. Only by ro-operatiun can tJiis pest be dealt with. Mr. Orr showed specimens '>f wood i:n!ft«ted with t\w scale, and it was ex- auiinml by a large lumiber at people. -J. E.
