The Zoological ?res3 Bulletin
of the Division of Zoology, Fetin
sylvauia Department of Agricul
ture. Timely Topics of Plants and
Pests Discussed Weekly. By II. A.
Surface, State Zoologist.
HOUSK TLANTS KILLED 11 Y I'KSTS.
A Montgomery county woman,
whose house plants were badly
damaged, and some of them killed,
by insects, such as a palm and heli
otrope, wrote to State Zoologist
Surface for information and also
sent to him specimens of the pests
that had caused the destruction.
As other women may have plants
similarly attacked, they will be in
terested in the answer given, which
was as follows:
"This proves to be the larvae of
a little fly, Mich as you describe as
seeing on the ground around the
plants. These are found to belong
to the entomological genus Sciara,
and feed on the vegetation in the
soil, as well as upon the roots, es
pecially wherein decay has started.
They thus promote decay, and may
do considerable injury, as you have
observed.
'rriie best way to prevent this
trouble is to sprinkle tobacco dust
abundantly over the surface of the
soil around the plants. The flics
will not remain long in a place so
treated, and will no longer deposit
eggs there. Any larvae that may
remain in the soil uukilled will un
dergo regular development, and af
ter they emerge there will be no
more infestation of your soil. You
can, of course, make a decoction of
tobacco and water and soak the soil
with it and thus destroy the lame
themselves at once, but the tobacco
dust will keep the flies from laying
their eggs." -,

EXPENSIVE SPRAYING CAN BE
AVOIDED.
A Chester countian, having paid
$115.00 within four years for the
spraying of an orchard of two acres,
wrote to State Zoologist Surface for
assistance in ridding his trees of
San Jose scale. He said:
"We are so situated that our
neighbors on all sides could learn
in regard to spraying by seeing it
from the public roads. We desire
to get from you full information of
whaf we are to use, and whom we
can employ in order to successfully
rid our trees of the San Jose scale."
Professor Surface replied as fol
lows: "It does not pay you to expend
so much money to have your trees
sprayed, when you can buy a good
spraying apparatus for one-fourth
of what you have already paid out
and it will last for ten years or
more, and the cost of spraying the
trees with it will then be but a few
stents per tree. As to the proper
spray pump, I think an upright lev
er pump would give you better re
sults than any other. The next
thing is to use the right material,
which is the boiled lime-suiphur
wash, either home-boiled or com
mercial. You can buy it already
prepared and ready to be diluted
with cold wa er and applied to the
trees, but, in diluting this, general
ly, you should not add more than
eight times its bulk of water. I
prefer to make my own lime-sulphur
wash, boiling 17 pounds of
sulphur and 22 pounds of lime an
hour, with enough water to boil it,
then straining it and adding enough
water to make 50 gallons and spray
ing It thoroughly over the t:ees.
This is to be done at any time when
the trees are dormant. JJo a thor
ough job and give two coats; one
when the wind is from one direc
tion and the other when it is from
the opposite direction. If you have
much scale, it would pay you to
give the double dose twice, viz: in
the fall, shortly after the leaves
drop, and again in the spring, when
the buds are swelling. This will
really do the work in a satisfactory
manner, and will kill the scale, and

Rotan Was Beaten Once, Anyway.
Despite the combined efforts of
the opposition forces in Philadel
phia, Samuel Rotan has twice been
successful in his race for the office
of District Attorney.
There is however on record at
least one race in which he was de
feated. Back in the eighties he was
a student in the University of
Pennsylvania, and so was the Rev.
James W. Diggles, of town.
One day there was a boat race
on the Schuylkill. Two pair-oared
shells were entered. Mr. Diggles,
with a fellow student, rowed one;
Mr. Rotan was one of the oarsmen
in the other.
The race started and the Rotan
shell soon fell behind. There was
no machine backing the future Dis
trict Attorney, he was not yet riding
in the ship of state. Toward the
finish, Mr. Diggles and his com
panion rested easily on their oars,
and went over the line far ahead of
the Rotan craft.
In view of the results of Tues
day's ehction, the knowledge that
Mr. Rotan was beaten once, any
way, may serve as a balm to the
sorro,v of the supporters of Mr.
Gibboney.
Brewery Burglarised.
It was discovered last Friday
that thieves have been at work at
the plant of the bankrupt Blooms
burg Brewing Company. Practi
cally all of the metal that could be

t A reward of $50 has been offered ,
half for the conviction of the thieves
and half for the conviction of a
