2. KEROSINE EMULSION AGAINST SCALE-INSECTS. 



In the case of the scale-insect {Aspidtotus ficus) (see pp, 69-73) 

 which attacked the orange and lime trees at Kachaldara House, 

 Khandala, in October 1894, Mr. Marshall Woodrow in a subsequent 

 letter reported that the application of kerosine emulsion as a 

 remedial measure against the insect had proved effectual in exter- 

 rjQinating the pest. 



This is quite in accord with experience in other parts of the 

 world.
