Three years before the tree was so badly infested that it seemed impos- sible to save it. The tree was cut back severely and the remaining stubs thoroughly treated with Lime-sulphur Wash, and has been sprayed with it once each winter since. The tree is still slightly infested. The owner has no expectation of exterminating the Scale, but he is holding it in entire control and is making money from his Fig-. 9.

Ready-made Remedies for San Jose Scale.—While every fruit grower should know from actual practice how to make up and apply any spraying material which he may need, yet it should be remembered that there are firms constantly at work on the discovery and manufacture of materials Avhich will do the work satisfactorily and which can be sold in form ready for immediate use. There has been a great flood of remedies for San Jose Scale placed on the market, some of which contain lime and sulphur, and some of which contain oil in such a form as to mix readily with water and to be not dangerous to the trees if directions are followed. We make no effort to test all these remedies—if we did so we could do little else. Our growers are advised to depend at first on the home- prepared remedies which are known to be good; but they may test these other remedies on a few trees, as they see fit, watching the effects care- fully for a year, and decide for themselves which remedy they prefer to rely on for the years to Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original North Carolina.
