Then, in the spring, to kill all the eggs, use a Lime Sulphur 
Spray. This should be applied just before vegetation starts, to be 
effective. Lime sulphur should be applied on a clear sunny day 
when there is no ‘danger of freezing. Lime sulphur should not be 
applied on a freezing day because it will freeze to the bark and 
will not kill the eggs alone, but also injures the bark. To be 
guided accordingly, apply the spray on a mild day when the sun 
will dry it quickly. This is the best spray for scale. 
Scale if not checked develops very rapidly and in a short 
time covers the entire area of the tree. Hence, it ts vitally im- 
portant to guard your trees against scale. Please don’t ignore 
our warning, tf you expect fine, healthy fruit bearing trees.
