. Better fruit. Fruit-culture. Scandinavia and the Baltic Market. We have a good outlet in tlie markets shown on above map. We handle apples only on a consignment basis. All consignments have our personal attention. Have you anything to offer? Do not fail to write or cable us. ERNST C. LOHSE & EFT., Copenhagen Cable Address: ERNST LOHSE Fruit and Produce Agents cned and has resumed its feeding, it becomes more resistant to the sprays. As far as the San Jose scale is con- cerned fall spraying Is as elTective as the spring application; but custom decrees that the spraying should be done in March. A single application of 3-dcgree sulphur-lime, if given with the utmost thoroughness, will usually suffice to kill all the San Jose scale. However, it appears that quite lately certain strains of this insect have developed more or less resistance to the action of this spray. Sulphur- lime destroys mainly by extracting oxygen from the Insect, and so kills by a sort of chemical suffocation. This process, rapid at first, is continued over some time. A few weeks after the spraying, the action of the sulphur ob- tained from the disintegrating sulphur- lime adds to the destruction. Thus it is that insects sprayed with sulphur- lime may linger for weeks before dying. Usually this spray will kill all of the scale within a few weeks or even days, but in some districts of the Northwest, as well as probably else- where, some few individuals retain a remarkable tenacity of life and com- mence their growth in the spring even though coated with spray. It appears that oil sprays are quicker in action and even more destructive than sul- phur-lime. For this reason they are to be recommended, especially in those districts where sulphur-lime has failed to give satisfaction. The living San Jose scale is provided with a yellowish body juice. Shortly after death this juice becomes oily in character and of a deeper yellow color. After the oily stage the insects dry out and darken. A few we
