SAN JOSE SCALE IN NEW JERSEY. 
This scale is attracting much atten¬ 
tion in New Jersey, and at the State 
Horticultural Society and State Board 
of Agriculture held in January, 1902, 
much time was given it. The State Hor¬ 
ticultural Society has made great exer¬ 
tions to ascertain all possible concern¬ 
ing the control of this pest. The San 
Josd scale cannot be exterminated, yet 
its control is practicable. A spray 
pump is as necessary to a farmer or 
fruit grower as a plow or spade. Crude 
oil and insecticide oil will soon become 
a part of the stock in trade of the vil¬ 
lage store. One store sold in 1901, 200 
barrels of insecticide oil, which, applied 
with care, would cover 160,000 trees. 
English sparrows spread the scale, and 
currants and blackberries are favored 
hosts for the pest. In the fight for con¬ 
trol great hopes are placed on the propa¬ 
gating of resisting varieties of plants. 
Among the Sand pears, which include 
Kieffer, Le Conte and Garber, many in¬ 
dividual trees have been found on which 
the scale will not remain. Apple trees 
of some varieties withstand attacks, and 
scale does not like them. Edward Early 
has been observed to be a resistant, on 
the other hand the Wealthy soon dies 
from scale. Crude oil, of the specific 
gravity of 43 degrees according to hy¬ 
drometer, may be applied when the flow 
of the sap is upwards, after the trees 
have begun to make a start. If applied 
when the flow of sap is downwards it is 
apt to kill the tree. It can be applied 
till fruit buds begin to show white at 
the end. Apple trees seem to withstand 
crude petroleum even in large quantities 
when applied in fine spray without in¬ 
jury; there is only one report of great 
damage as yet in this State. The oil 
may blister the outer bark, and it may 
even come off, but a new bark forms 
beneath. • Pear trees withstand crude 
oil; in fact, indications point strongly 
to its being a remedy for blight, but it 
is too soon as yet to say anything about 
this except mere mention of fact. Plum 
trees seem to withstand this oil, but 
many think insecticide oil safer. 
Insecticide oil is the trade name for 
a special refined oil made according to 
a formula furnished the Standard Oil 
Company by Prof. Smith. It is not in 
stock in many locations as yet. This 
form of oil is safer for many purposes 
than the crude, especially on smooth- 
barked trees. The only debatable point 
would seem to be the use of oil in any 
form on the peach, which has a porous 
bark. Many growers have used it with 
safety, others have killed most of the 
trees. There are many conditions affect¬ 
ing trees in power to withstand applica¬ 
tions of oil; sun, moisture, flow of sap, 
and general vitality of individual trees. 
The scale poisons the trees at the point 
where it sucks the sap. A small pur¬ 
ple spot will be seen underneath this 
place. Starved trees also are affected. 
Vigorous trees are the best to with¬ 
stand oil; vitiated or weakened trees 
often die. Oil, applied to a vitiated tree 
of low vitality only hastens its death. 
The ordinary petroleum used for lights 
should never be used. It is unsafe. 
Prof. Smith, in 1901, treated, early in 
October, a series of trees with whale-oil 
soap, one pound of soap in about two 
gallons of water, and cleaned out every 
bit of new scale and the larvae, but did 
not kill the half-grown insects. Very 
young foliage will not stand this appli¬ 
cation. In the Southern States gener¬ 
ally the oil is almost fatal to peach and 
injurious to other fruit trees, while in 
Idaho it is not only fatal to scale but 
stimulates the tree, causing large, finer 
fruit. Its effect in many portions of 
New Jersey is beneficial to tree and 
fruit. Growers using either crude or in¬ 
secticide oil for the first time should go 
slow, and, if possible, have instructions 
from those who have used it. j. n. R.
