JULY 21. 1898. 



THE SAN JOSE SCALE. 



In the July issue of The Forum, 

 Prof. L. O. Howard, Government Ento- 

 mologist at Washington, gives a re- 

 view of the progress in the dissemina- 

 tion of the San Jose scale, in the 

 United States and the legislation of 

 various foreign governments to pre- 

 vent the importation of the pest. The 

 action of Germany in prohibiting the 

 admission of American fruits and 

 plants for fear of importing the San 

 Jose scale with them caused quite a 

 diplomatic flurry. The action of the 

 Canadian government was not long ago 

 reported in these columns. Austria- 

 Hungary has issued a prohibitive de- 

 cree similar to that of Germany, and 

 it is probable that Holland and Sweden 

 will soon take similar action. 



Prof. Howard reports that the insect 

 has spread through every one of the 

 Eastern and Middle States during the 

 six years since its introduction from 

 California. It has been the subject of 

 legislation in sixteen states of the 

 Union, and its suppression is the prin- 

 cipal object of two bills now before 

 Congress. No really practical and ef- 

 fective means of combatting the pest 

 has yet been discovered, though it has 

 been the subject of much experimental 

 work by the state and national govern- 

 ments. It has not yet been noted on 

 greenhouse plants, but hardy ornamen- 

 tal plants have been attacked, and 

 these have been included with fruit 

 plants in the prohibitive decrees of the 

 various governments. 



PITTSBURG. 



As a novel idea to be presented to 

 the visiting Knights Templar during 

 their conclave next fall, Supt. George 

 W. Burke, of Highland Park, is pre- 

 paring to construct a lodge room of 

 flowers. The design will show a fully 

 equipped lodge room with symbolic 

 emblems in flowers on the walls and 

 an altar in the center of the floor. It 

 will be one of the unique displays dur- 

 ing the conclave. 



YOU CAN EARN $25.00 by a few 

 minutes' work if you know of a really 

 valuable labor-saving device or method 

 of culture, a description of which has 

 not yet been published. See details on
