 to dampen every portion of bark and 

 the under sides of the leaves. Such 

 remedies as whale oil soap, one pound 

 to five gallons of water, Aphine, Im- 

 perial soap spray, Ivory soap, Scalecide 

 at the rate of 100 parts of water to 

 one of Scalecide, or any of the nicotine 

 extracts, will be effective. A winter 

 spray after the foliage has fallen 

 should also be given, using for this 

 one of the soluble oil solutions or lime 

 sulphur. This will kill any remaining 

 pests, as well as the greater proportion 

 of the eggs. C. W.

 present is merely the cooperative buy- 

 ing of orchard supplies. Cooperation in 

 selling was discussed, but this was left 

 for future development and will be un- 

 dertaken only when the demand for it 

 comes. 



The project was proposed incident- 

 ally at the horticultural meeting by
