Apeil 6, 1911. 



SCALE ON ELMB. 



I am sending you a branch of an elm 

 tree. What is the matter with it and 

 how can the trouble be overcome f 



S. C. C. 



The portions of branches forwarded 

 were almost completely crusted with 

 scurfy scale. While less destructive than 

 the San Jose scale, which attacks ap- 



Sles, pears, peaches, plums, hawthorns, 

 apanese quince, many roses, lilacs, pop- 

 lars, willows, oranges and quite a vari- 

 ety of other trees and shrubs, the scurfy 

 scale, like the oyster shell variety, will 

 kill out entire branches and trees if not 

 destroyed. To kill the scale, spraying 

 must be done while the trees are dor- 

 mant. You must either use the lime- 

 sulphur solution, which you can pur- 

 chase ready made or prepare yourself, 

 or one of the various oil solutions, such 

 as Scalecide. Probably one of the solu- 

 ble oils would be the easiest for you to 

 apply. Use a barrel pump mounted on 

 an express wagon; if the trees are large, 

 climbing will be necessary. The scale 

 will be found principally on the young, 

 smooth wood. Use a nozzle which throws 

 a fine, misty spray, and be sure to 

 moisten every portion of the wood, as 

 any scales left breed with incredible 

 rapidity. 



This spraying cannot be done except 

 when the trees are dormant, as the 

 strength needed to kill the scale would 

 also destroy all the foliage. It would 

 be well to examine other trees and 

 shrubs, especially, some of those I have 

 mentioned, which are also liable to have 

 scale upon them. In the case of small 

 or medium sized trees or shrubs found 

 badly attacked, the best remedy is to 

 pull them up and burn them. C. W.

 by The Review for 25 cents.
