THE SAN JOSE SCALE.

IVrnieious IVst AVliieh in Doing IT11tolil Damage to tlie Orchards of tlic Country.

Purdue University Agricultural Experiment Station, newspaper bulletin No. 42.—There are many species of scale insects 'rthich infest fruit and ornamental plants to a greater or less extent, but of all those known to the entomologist at the ipretent time, the San Jose scale is the most to be dreaded on account of its destructive character, the rapidity with which it increases and the diiliculty with which it may be eradicated when once it has become established.

It has been only a few year* since this pest was introduced into some of the nurseries of tiie Eastern States from California through the carelessness of one or two nursery men in not thoroughly disinfecting the stock- sent out. From these nurseries it has been widely scattered, and recent investigations have shown that it is already present in a number of orchards in Ohio and Illinois, brought there by shipments of trees from these infested nurseries and we have no treason to suppose that these shipments of trees hove been any less frequent in Indiana than in these adjacent States. In fact it has already been found in some of the Southern Indiana counties, and unless vigorons methods are adopted very soon the loss to the fruit growers of this State from this cause must necessarily be very great.

Judging from the many specimens of scale infested branches received by the Experiment Station during the past season, it is very evident that but little is known concerning this scale by the fruit growers of Indiana in general.

The San Jose scale is much smaller and of a different shape, the female being nearly circular ic outline, than the oyster shell or bark louse, while the others mentioned are readily distinguished by the naked eye.

As already stated this pest becomes distributed by means of nursery stock which is sent from one State or locality to another. 11 is also spread locally by being carried by the wind and on the feet of birds, etc.. so that if but a single tree is infested at the time of planting, so great is its reproductive power, it may soon spread until the entire orchard fis infested. It has been ascertained that the progeny of a single female, during a single season, may amount to more than three billions of individuals.

Thus it will be seen that the greatest care should be exercised in this matter, not only by the nurserymen, but by each individual planter, w&s

As a further precatioti and as a matter of self protection Indiana should follow the example of Ohio and Illinois in passing a law making the sale or offering for sale, or harboring trees or plants infested with this 01- other noxious insects a misdemeanor punishable by a suitable line. It should then be placed in the hands of a competent entomologist who will see that the law is enforced.

Some of tlie youthful Crawfordsville bicyclers will have to be rather careful when joshing about Waveland next season. The town board down there has revived the old curfew law, and announces its intention to enforce it. The marshal will give the lire bell two taps at 8 o'clock each night, and after that hour any youngster under 15 years old on the street is liable to arrest.

Stroke I'urul.Yhi*.

Mrs. Cynthia Hratton, of the Wesley neighborhood, suffered a stroke of jjaralysis last Thu-sday and now lies at death's door. Her son, ex-trustee of Wayne, township, Oeorge Hratton. came to Crawfordsville Thursday, leaving his mother in her usual health. When he returned in the early afternoon he found her lying on the floor unconscious.

ANTI-FUSION.

Something About tlio J5II1 Which Will l'revent I'art les From Getting. Together in Future.

The bill with"waich it is proposed to prevent fusion, as it wa9 accomplished at the recent election, declares that: "If any certificate or petition of nomination shall contain the name of more than one candidate for any office to be fiKed, neither name shall be printed as a candidate for such office. If any persons shall join in nominating by petition more than one nominee for any office to be filled, such person shall not be counted as a petitioner for either nomination. If any person has been nominated as a candidate for any office by convention, and, also, as a candidate for the same office by petition, his shall be placed on the ballot but once, to wit. in the list of candidates nominated by such convention: and,tlie place occupied by his name in such petition shall be left blank provided, that if such candidate shall, in writing, prior to the la6t day for tiling nominations, request that his name be printed as nominated by petition, it shall be printed, and shall be omitted from the list nominated by the convention. Provided, further, that in no case shall the name of the same 'person appear upon any ballot more than once."

The other provisions of the bill, prepared under the direction of the Republican State committee, are that the Republicans shall have the first place on the ballot: and that each of the political parties represented on the ballot may have watchers at the count.

NEW BOTANICAL" LABORATORY.

l*rofosHor John Jr.*Coull«»r is7Now Planning for a Site in tin* "West Indies,

Chicago Times Herald: Plans are under way for the establishment of an international botanical laboratory in the West Indies. Professor John M. Coulter, head of the department of botany at the University of Chicago, originated the movement, and the Chicago scientist has been ably seconded in his efforts by Professor D. T. McDougal of the University of Minnesota.

The botanists of Germany have such a laboratory in the island of Java, but owing to the great distar.ee it is of little use to the botanists in this country. The English governor of Jamaica lias held out inducements to the botanists to locate there, but before,final action will be taken a trip will be made to Orizaba, Mexico, and to the keys of Floria, and possibly Cuba.

Should the commission which will be in charge of Professor McDougal, decide to locate the station in Jamaica they will be joined by a representative from Oxford University, England.

Kelt oaring Don int.

The Supreme Court has denied a rehearing in the case of Cohoon vs. Fisher. The Supreme Court considers its former decisions as binding authority until they are overruled. And a brief which asks a decision contrary to a former opinion of this court should suggest reasons for the holding asked, and not merely offer foreign -authorities. (2) The commencement of suit to rescind a contiact for fraud is only a bare, choice of remedies and not an election wuich bars the prosecution of a subsequent action for damages for the fraud. (.$) A complaint to rescind a contract for fraud may be so amended as to affirm the contract and seek to recover damages for the fraud at any time before final judgment.

A rout

Hen Hastings has a new way of driving rabbits from their holes. The new method is to take a six foot wire or rubber hose and worm it down iuto the hole and fix a net over the rabbit bole. When this is done he yells into the hose as loudly as he can. Anyone who has ever heard a yell in a cave can imagine how it sounds to a rabbit. The rabbit leaps for safety and lands in the net.

A .lob Lot of InHumix'**.

The Indiana Live Stock Insurance Company Friday received a telegram to send an agent to Cleveland to insure 100 horses for the Ohio State Troop. The horses are to go to Washington and will be used by the troop in the inaugural ceremonies of Major McKinley as President. This will be an $8,000 or $510,000 jdb for the insurance company.
