Tite Scele Par
in Pennsylvania.
“onsiderable has already been said |
anid published concerning the effici- |
ws3acy of the parasite of the San Jose
ale, which State Zoologist, H. A.
“zzrface, has found doing such good
work in cleaning up this pest in south-
sme stern Pennsylvania. Different per-
8s have taken different views on the
subject. Some have ridiculed, show-
their lack of knowledge of this en-
tire subject and their readiness: to
muake fun of any important or serious
tibing. Others have shown a tendacy
t.@ belittle this subject, or claim that
it does not amount- to much, while
«izhers have come forth with attempts |
#45 newspaper notorietp by making a
werific strite for ‘‘credit.”’
The fact is that State Zoologist Sur- |
f£mee and his inspectors have found two
smecies otf parasites feeding on the
saeft bodies of the San Jose scale by
t:he mulviplied millions, and boring
tHhrough the shells of the scale and
«leaning the trees entirely of these
zasts in many orchards and urseries.
"hey have worked for between two
and three years at investigating these |
@reneficial parasites, breeding or de
waloping and propagating them by
Gize thousands and sending them out |
%o various orchards. That practical |
€ruit growers are taking the work ser-
iously, and regarding it as most im-|
portant,is ahown by the many:letbers |
requesting specimines, which have |
Xaeen received at the office of the State
Zoolog ist at Harrisburg.
Many of the leading entomologists |
and horticulturists ofictherstates have
requested specimines for practical dis-
#ribution, and are being supplied as |
xapidly as possible after the requests |
iz Pennsylvania haye been met.
Since the announcement of the pres- |
ence of this beneficial inaect to such |
=x great extent in Pennsylyania orch- |
wrds, some important questions have
=rison by the fruit growers. Among |
timese are the following.
A. Will the scale parasite injure |
tiae tree or fruit ?
SFE
To this Professor Surface emphatic-
mdily says, ‘‘No, it will not become an
erddnoxious or injurious insect, as it!
dioes not attack any part of any plant.
22. Will the parasite of the San
-»0se scale attack other insects and
prove a general blessinh in destroying
«Yl pests ?
To this again Professor Surface
says, ‘‘No it will not attack such in-
sects as Potato beetles, Cut worms,
Idessian fly, the Codling moth, Lady
¥aeetles, nor other injurious or benefi-
«rial insects, although we have bred it
From the Rose scale, which we do
Iznow it restores, and also from some
others of the smaller species of scale
insects, which it will attack.
3. Is an-orchard owner justified in
saalling his spray pump and quitting
s praying.
To this important question the ans-
wer is given thus: ‘‘Look on the bark
«=f the new wood or on the fruit and
=ee if any living Sau Jose scale is pres-
«at. If sof spray it. If not, it is not
magcessary to spray for scale, but the
spraying for the codling moth, curcu-
#io, ete., should be continued. If the
#ruit of this past season was speckled
with San Jose scale, spray the trees
se msual. If it was clean, the scale is
diead and no more spraying is necess-
ary.”
Will spraying kill the parasite ?
“‘It is believep that spraying will|
¥mot kill the parasite, as it has been |
fionnd effeotive in killing the remain- |
ing scales in orchards that were more |
«ar less completely sprayed, Itis dor-|
zmant and under the old scale during
tise winter, and the spray liquid does
36 come in direct contact with it.”
5. What will happen if the parasite
#sans up the scale ?
he paratite will die, just as a firs!
goes out after itt consumes its fuel, but
there will doubtless be enough scale
| insects of some species in the neigh-
borhood to maintain enough of the
| parasites that they will again become
efficient if there is a rampart spread-
ing of the scale,as this state has known
during 1he past ten years.”’
6. Will the suppression of the scale
be permanent ?
‘It will probably recur at intervals,
as do other insects which are checked
chiefly by parasites, as we know the
scale is now being controlled in sev-
eral of the southeastern counties of
Pennsylvania.”’
Can it be practically disseminated ?
‘‘It can be spread by artificial means
on branches containing perasitized
scales, by putting these branches in
| the tops of trees infested by the scale.
Specimines will be sent free to all per-
sons sending us postage.’’
8. How late in the year can it be
disseminated or spread ?
‘No one knows, but it is presumed
that it will become dormant after sc-
vere frosts. It can, of course, be
placed in the orchard at any time dur-
ing the year, but its activities will not
commence until spring or the early
part of summer.”’

BOOST YOUR HOME TOWN
If It Is Good Enough to Live in It Is
Good Enough to Say a Good
~ Word For.
Every man ought to be a booster
for his home town. If that place is
good enough for him to stay in and
as a place for him to make money, it
ought to be good enough to say a
good word about.
Too often we hear a dealer com-
plain that the “old town is deader
than a door nail.” If it is, who made
is so? It is the men who “knock”
instead of getting under the founda-
tion of the place and lifting. It is
the fellows who inform every visitor
that they wish they were birds so
that they could fly to other places
more congenial.
What happens when these fellows
do get enough money together to
strike out to some other place? Do
they forget their habits of deprecia-
tion? Not so you could notice ft.
They soon get to saying the same bad
things about the new location and
wish they were back where they
came from.
There are thousands of towns im

for it by not being stocked.
Be the first one to breathe life into
the old town and see how quickly
others will’ be taking longer breaths,

FLOWERS IN SCHOOL ROOM
Nature Never Fails to Awaken Inter-
est and Enthusiasm of Young
Children.
In some Europgan countries, notably
France and Belgium, bowers and
plants. have been made a conspicuous
as well as an official feature of all
schoolrooms. In the September issue
of the Craftsman, a writer tells a great
deal of the workings of some of the
most notable of the schools. One
teacher is quoted as saying: “We are
counseled in our country schools to
teach our children beauty in all its
possible expressions, through books,
pictures, sculpture; but I have found
that my little pupils are neither old
enbugh, advanced enough, nor alert
enough to understand the masterpieces
of great achievement. Most famous
pictures and books have failed to in-
terest them. On the other hand, I
have found that nature never fails to
awaken their enthusiasm. So we live
and study close to her ample, kindly
heart, and our lives are filled with the
beauty that the greatest artists can-
.not quite achieve.”
The Clothes Peg Woman.
Women cynics complain men are
more interested in thin, shapeless
girls than they are in healthy, well-
developed young women. They assert
when men take brides they want the
“clothes-peg women” rather than the
women who undoubtedly are healthy
and strong. They cannot understand
why the spiritual quality and the men-
tal equipment of women should count
more than health and strength. In
answer to those cynics, statistics are
produced by both men and women to
show that not even in the days of
ancient Greece, when womanhood is
supposed to have reached its perfec-
tion, were women so well developed
and healthy as they are today. Dr.
Sargent, the Harvard instructor of
physical culture and one of the recog-
nized authorities on physical develop-
ment, says women are stronger and
have reached more nearly the ideal of
perfection than at any other time in
the history of the world. He insists
while the statues of women that have
come down to us from Greece may
‘represent an almost perfect type of
physical beauty, the sculptors who
carved those statues were working in
the ideal rather than in the real
Novel Way to Announce Engagement.
A novel scheme recently was used
to announce the engagement of Faye
Cleaver Bruen, of Oakland, Cal., to
Richard Yates Hoffman, of Chicago,
both of whom have many society]
friends in the states. Mrs. William
Gould Bruen, mother of Miss Bruen,
gave a dance in honor of her daughter
and invited thirty young society per-
sons of Oakland. Hoffman also was
present. The initials of the dance
numbers spoiled Miss Bruen’s and
Hoffman’s names, but that was not ob-
served until after the announcement
of the engagement was made in an-
other way. As an extra dance was
announced the guests gathered in a
circle round a large tissue-paper bag
suspended from the ceiling. Each per-
son grasped a string and at’a given
signal pulled. Papier-mache cats
jumped from the bag, and each had a
card announcing the engagement.
“The cat was let out of the bag” in a
truly surprising way.
