OYSTER SUEI.I, 5CAI.E OS MAPLES
The oystr shell scale has appear
ed to a greater extent this season
than usual on lilac bushes and
maple trees, although cot as pre
Talent on fruit trets as in some
years. Some branches of a Nor
way maple tree were recently sent
to State Zoologist Surface, Harris
burg, which were badly infested.
In giving information concerning
the same to the person who sent
the specimens the State Zoologist
wrote as follows:
"The naple sprigs which you
sent to us are badly infested with
oyster shell scale. You should
spray at this date, just as soon as
possible, with whale oil soap, one
pound in four gallons of water, or
wait until after the leaves drop,
and then spray with the boiled lime
sulfur wash the same as for San
Jcse Scale. You can either boil
the lime r.r.d M:!fur in water, and
make the solution yourself, or you

CAKE NEEDED IN SENDING SAMPLES
Specimens of insects, and of
plants attacked by pests and fungus
diseases, that are sent to State Zoo
logist Surface, Harrisburg, for ex
amination and report, should be
packed with care, so that the same
will arrive in good condition.
Recently some clover leaves in
fested with plant lice reached the
Professor in bad shape, and the in
structions that he gave to the per
son who sent them will be useful
for others to observe who contem
plate sending specimens for the ob
taining of information. The letter
follows:
"I hae received the leaves of
young clover and the plant lice
which you sent to us with the in
teresting statement that the bees
ure at present gathering honey dew
i"rom these. Unfortunately the
material was too much dried and
TToken when it arrived to enable us
:o determine anything concerning
:he species of the Aphids, and I
nouia nice very much to receive
otne in better condition. I, there
ore, enclose three two-cent stamps
md ask it you will kindly mail me
ome more of the clover containing
.he plant lice; and, especially if you
an find anv with wings, the-e
ten days I have examined trees,
rses and vines in myi immediate ;
neighborhood, at the request of the
owner, and foun 1 the most virulent
Coes of ir.fv-tat:oa imaginable:
trees half dtj 1, rose bushes encrust-!
ed. current bu-aes being torn out,
and shrubbery in the last stages of
existence, without any effort what
ever being made to save them, or
remove the cause, principally thro
ugh total ignorance as to the
identity of the cause, or lack of
knowledge as to what remedy to
apply.
I think you will agree with me
when I venture the opinion that
the San Jcse Scale is a great deal
more prevalent in cities and towns
than in the outlying localities, due
possibly to the close proximity of
the plantings, diversity of plants,
and the ever present agency for its
spread, the English sparrow, and it
is sure to get to country orchards
through the different methods cf
transportation by which it is usually
carried.
"It appears to me to be highly
important that something be done
and some method adopted to ex
terminate it at the chief seat of its
existence, and I need not enter into
any extended presentation of fects
as to why, as you with your most
excellent knowledge of the subject,
and extended experience, will read
ily see how low-growing shrubbery,
suc.'i as is cnaracteristic ot city
property, may be more thorougly
handled with remedies than others,
w hue at t::e same time it removes
the chief seat from which to carry
the ;tst throughout the country.
"In spile o; the wide dissemina
tion of information and public dis
cussion on the subject of the various
scale i::.sects and their destruction,
I am very much surprised, and
more or iess indignant, at the neg
1
;ct and inexcusable indifference
nacifested by at least 99 out of
every 100 people, who should have
a care, and a deep feeling of inter
est, in these matters, but who, it
seems, never think to investigate
and inquire until they see the dead
branches or limbs staring them In
tne lace, or lact 0: vigor arouses
their suspicions; in fact, I have not
discovered one person in a hundred
who can distinguish San Jose Scale
from a bed bug, so far as giving it
the right identification is concern

Indifference of some city peo-le
la regard to insect pests.
A prominent citizen of an interi
r city of Pennsylvania wrote to
rof. II. A. Suriace, State Zoolosr
it, Harrisburg, in reference to the
leglected condition of trees, shrub
ery and plants in town yards and

lis letter is similar to thousands of
thers. His letter is, in part, as

Perhaps there are few who know
why there are three arrow heads on
a silver dollar, or, for that matter,
that there are only three. There is
an Indian legend as to how they

after the battle of the Thames. In
this campaign there were allied
with Gen. Harrison the Peorias,
Kashaskios and Plankashas, three
nations that once helped rule Can

sylvania, the fragments of which
are now gathered in the Quapaw
nation and all told number fewer
than 200.
The night before the great battle
a council was called. A man vol
unteered from each of these tribes
who took a solemn oath to kill Te
cumseh the next day. The battle
followed and Tecumseh was killed.
His followers attempted to take his
body down the river in a boat that
night, but the three watchful ene
mies were too akrt and surprised
the party. They failed to secure
the body of Tecumseh, but succeed

wrapped around his body. It was
cut with many bullet and arrow
holes.
