Bulletin No. 296, of the New York 

 Agiiciiltiiral Experiment Station, cleal-s 

 with the San Jose scale question. 



San Jose scale is no longer a para- 

 lyzing foe to fruit growers. Its advent 

 is feared; because only hard, careful 

 work can prevent its spreading when 

 once it gains a foothold; but for sev- 

 eral years it has been possible to 

 assure fiuit groweis that the pest can 

 be quite easily and cheaply controlled 

 on small trees by spraying with the 

 lime-sulphur wash. Recent exper- 

 iences by the Station and practical 

 orchardists piove that similar methods, 

 slightly extended and more thoroughly 

 followed, will not only check the 

 spread of the pest, but also prevent 

 material harm from it, even in old 

 orchards of large trees. The cost of 

 spraying such trees with the lime- 

 sulphur mixture and of pruning and 

 trimmin.£; to make the spraying effec- 

 tive is inconsiderable when compared

with the loss due to spotting of fruit,
