Mr. Chandler has tasked the

that he is interested in helping
improve farm conditions in every
way possible. He wants the peo-

Mr. Chandler pointed out that hi
would gladly help in the organ-

Have you ever thought about

or all -)1 the l'l nit anil are trying j
to die?
"With winter still goiim- strong,
now is the time to be thinking a-
bout a fruit crop for next summer,"
.1. A. Chandler, vocational agrieul- j
ture instructor at Mexia High
School says.
There are several reasons why
fruit trees do not bare fully, and
about 90 piT cent of the total dam-
age done to peach trees in this re-
gion is caused by insects, Chandler J
«aid.
Sometime we do not think far
enough ahead to control these in- j
sects before they have damaged the i
trees or fruit crop. Our orchards j
must be cared for if we expect
them to produce on a paying scale.
There are about four insects which
damage our fruit trees in the Lime-
stone section, he said.

which ill -kill trees (peach, plum

very Nmull—about the size of a phi
head, an I is orange-yellow In color.
It has a white ashy scale formed
over the body. Trees infested with
the Sau Jose Scale can easily be
identified by the grayish appear-
ance and by the yellow oily secre-
tion seen when the scales are scrap-
ed off with a knife.
«>
During the winter the scales can
be found in all stages which shows
reproduction occurs throughout
each month of the year. Therefore,
this insect call be controlled in the
winter much more satisfactorily
than in the summer due to the ef-
fect of sprays on green trees.
This insect can be controlled if
the proper spray is used at the ;
proper time. The following controls
ire recommended:
1. Spray with fi'y oil emulsion in !
dormant season (after two good
frosts). Oil emulsion does not dam-
age early bud wood. Such sprays
may he found at most: drug stores,
but will be in a greater oil content,
which can be reduced by adding
water. Example: You buy one gal-
lon of CO 2-3' v oil emulsion at the
store. To get a !5'/< solution you
would mix two gallons of water
with the one gallon of emulsion.
2. Spray with liquid lime sulphur
at the time the buds are swelling
in the early spring. This liquid
lime sulphur may be purchased at
most druu- stores or stores carry-
ing farm equipment and sprays.
