be unable to get fruit. Remove the worst of them, and then 
proceed to clean the tree by the method above mentioned. 1 he 
scale you will be able to see in the form resembling very minute 
mussels, firmly adhering to the bark of the tree. Probably the 
remedy that would clean away the American Blight would have 
the same effect upon the Mussel Scale, and we think the one 
cleaning might be made to serve both. After removing the worst 
of the excrescences and burning the material removed, then pro¬ 
ceed to scrub the bark of the tree with a piece of hard wood, so as 
to destroy as many of the scale as possible by crushing them. Then 
proceed to make a carbolic acid wash. The formula for this is : 
lib. hard soap, 2 gallons water, and 1 pint of crude carbolic acid. 
Put the soap in the water, and heat to the boiling point until 
the latter is dissolved, then add the carbolic acid. Then add 
another 2 gallons of waiter to- this proportion, -and use it as -a 
wa-sh for scrubbing the branches and -spurs of the tree. The 
present is the best- time to do- this-, -as the wash would be- detri¬ 
mental to t-he foliage- if used -after it was expanded. It would 
also destroy the blossom if the- flowers happened t-o- be in bloom 
at .the time. If this is thoroughly done -it would serve to- riel t he 
tree both of the American Blight and the Mussel Scale. There 
might, however, be American Blight -on the roots, and in that 
case you will have to follow the description given above t-o 
“A. T.”
