ciety a great many troubles and tribula¬ 
tions. I have had some experience along 
this line, and the only remedy I use for 
scale is a Washing Powder; the kind that 
tells you how to clean. I have used it for 
the last four or five years, and I think I 
am safe in saying that if you go in my 
grove and find a scale there I will give 
you a dollar apiece for each one you find 
in there. The question that has come to 
me so often by people who are growing 
orange trees is, “How shall I get rid of 
the scale?” My answer is, “Use Fair- 
bank’s Washing Powder and spray about 
four times a year, and you will have no 
scale in your grove, and your grove will 
be just what you want.” I have five or 
six groves of which I have charge, and 
the people who own those groves have 
been perfectly satisfied.
