It is known to exist 3 in Australia, Chili, tihe United States i and Canada. The first reliable infor- imation that we have of it is that it lwas found. in (the San Jose Valley, rCaliIornia, in 1870. It was at once re- cognized as a serious menace to the fruit-growing interest of the State. The :s-pread of the scale from the point of ioriginal infestation was rapid, its area [increasing in every direction. in 1873 ".t had become a serious pest. In 1880 'Professor Cunistock said it was the most pernicious scale insect known. and that he had never seen any other {species so abundant and so injurious. it was not discovered east of the Rocky Mountains until 1895. Now it thus been found in nearly every state ’and quite extensively distributed in !sozne of them. Trees from New Jersey gnurseries have been the source of the linifestation in the Eastern States and ‘ Canada. four points near Boston. This is of special interest in [View of its being the moat northerly occurrence of the scale. In Talbot county, Maryland. J. H'.

In Prof. P. H. Bolts reports that the orchard whens the scale was first found is now practically killed, less than 5 per cent. of the trees being oliive. The scale is new in Canada, and as we have little experience with it. the opinions of those who have known it for years are valuable. Professor J. M. Aldrion. otldaihp ‘._s_ay:s that it is the 'Tfie source of their imfestation was Japan plum stock imported from the San Jose Valley, California, in 1886 or After dissolving the soap in the wat- er, add the coal oil and stir well for E5 to 10 minutes. .When properly mix- fed, it will adhere to glass without oili- ‘ ness.

A great deal of care shduld' be taken in selecting a. pump, the points to be looked to are: 1, Babe of operation. 2, Evenness of distribution. 3, Compactness. 4, Durability. 5, Power. (3, Agitator. A lance should be used to elevate the nozzle into the tree and a double or tri- ple discharge should be used as in this way work could be done much fast-er.

There appears to be different results in dif- ferent localities from similar treat. ment. Professor L. 0.

The only treatment is burning. Whale oil soup solution has failed in some cases. Hydrocyanic acid gas has not been altogether satisfac- tory.

Orr to imwestigahe. They soon as- certained that it hads been imported on nursery stock from New Jersey, and Mr. Orr wrote to all the nurserymen in Ontario for lists of stock imported from N. J. nurseries during the past 5 years. Many of the trees had been traced and about 20 occurrences of the scale found. Three were principally in- Essex. Kent and Lincoln Counties. Eight or ten trees had been found in 1 stamp out the pest. Although it was thought two years ago that this scale could not exist in tour country and that we «had nothing to fear from it, it now appears that the climatic conditions are favorable. That we are in its life zone is proved by the rapidity with which it has mul- tiplied in infested sections. Not only are our orchards and our vineyards in danger of destruction, but our forests also, except only conifers, pines and cedars. If unchecked there is no ques- tion, but that it would the existénce elf .the San Jose scale at flagara, he sent Prof. Panton and W. lated. Against this most insiduous ipest both nurserymen and fruit grow- ;ers are alike practically helpless isn- idetecting its presence, until it has ceased to be the insignificant atom that it at first appears, and has be- come master. Heretofore orchards and nurseries were considered as the only places in special danger, but recent discoveries of the pest on forest and 'ornamental trees shows that this was a mistake. It has been found on the black walnut, mountain ash, bass-wood, maple, willow, poplar, birch, elm and chestnut. It is usually the case that as we become more familiar with a spe- 0503, more v‘ulerable point is found, or a stage during which it can be man- aged with greater case than at other tunes. It must be confessed that in the case of the San Jose scale, the ibetter we come to be acquainted with Hit. the more we see to fear of its rav- iages. and of the great labor involved in its eradication. No one who has lnot seen the work of this pest where it ’has had full sway can understand its ifearfully destructive nature. If then. i the variety affected: is not satisfactory, for if the trees have passed their best, :or the inner bark has been. discolored, tilt would be far better to end the mat- ter at once, and save expense and trouble by burning the trees. The only scale to be trusted is the dead scale. As far as any practical service is concern- ed from natural enemies, this subject might be dismissed with these words: ‘There are none.’ After making ex- Derirmenlts. there is nothing to indicate that either the fungus or the insect enemies have had, any influence even in holding the pest in check. We have little. if anything, to expect for the present, at least from the aid of ne- tural enemies." ~ SOON OVERle THE COUNTRY. bulletin published. by the Ohio Agri- cultural Experimental Station. dated J uly, 1897, says: “The presence of this insect on any one's premises is a calamity, and uncontrolled becomes a public danger that should not be toler- ‘L-J A E It is at last realized that not only are our ocrherda in danger, but the ex- istence at all decidnms vegetation is threatened. should the pest once he- come distritnrtod generally throughout our forests; for in Uta-at case all hope of its final extinction would be lost Inevitable, even dhould remedial treat- AND BURN IN FESTED TREES. 5373 Expeflmental Station fruit untested with the scale (or the , says: " . . flats in Georgia had hem lfour. or five yeqrs.
