H. C. LONG CO. , METCILf’S TfiEHTMENT OF "GLOOMY" 3GIILE In his discussion of trees and in sects that destroy leaves, at the library night before last, Mr. Z. P. Metcalffi of the state agricultural department, &aid, as noted in yes’- terday’s News, that trees were sub ject to two kind of diseases—plant disease and insect diseases. Practi cally there are none of former, but two special classes of the latter— the chewing insect and the sucking in sect. The worst of the former class is the leaf beetle. We can control the chewing Insect in one way—by poi son. We cannot give the sucking in sect such remedy, because the suck ing insect has a long, sharp pointed bill that he sticks through the bark and poison and sucks from within the tree, beyond where the poison is. Elm Leaf Becttle. The beetle can be killed by arsenate of lead. It feeds on the leaves. The average person calls it a worm. It de scends from limb to limb, on down, fall ing off to the ground. There it changes its skin and flies away as a beetle, to return to the tree tops and lay its egg. By piling excelsior or straw around the tree and pouring boil ing water on the straw, the beetle can be destroyed for it gets into the straw or excelsior and can be scalded to death. This beetle belongs to the chewing insects. Sucking Insects. Now as to the sucking insect. There is only one that I will speak of. It is a ‘Chinaman’—coming over to Cali fornia and from there spread through out this country, killing millions of dol lars worth of fruit trees. When I came into this state four years ago I found the elm trees suf fering from this San Jose scale. I sprayed the trees but it was no good. This set me to thinking; Why was a remedy for one kind of insect not good for another? By investigation I found that the young was laid beyond the part that could be reached by spraying. The female die in the tree, but the male fall off, get wings and fly away. The corrosive substance used for the soft scale insect does not ef fect the hard scale insect—the gloomy scale, as it is called from its color. The gloomy scale must be dealt with by a different process from the soft scale. The remedy for this must be oils of certain kind. Maples. The gloomy scale we find after care ful investigation, does not affect the hard maple as much as the soft ma ples. I advise you not to plant the silver maple or red maple, but to plant, instead, the Norway maple or sugar maple. After an inspection of 5,000 sugar maples only one was found to be affected by the gloomy scale, while 85 per cent of the silver maple and 70 per cent of the red maple were at fected Remedy. The remedy for this gloomy scale Is certain soluble oils derived from pe troleum. Pure coal oil will not do for the treatment of trees. Spray the trees In the winter /.aking one kind of oil to 15 parts of water. It is neces sary that every limb be touched with this oil. The oil creeps in and suffo cates this insect, infected pp “When tree is infected prune at bad ly infected parts, but don’t overdo the spraying. Remember the tree is in a sicken condition. You would not give a sick child an overdose of medicine, neither must you give a sick tree an overdose. If a tree is beyond control with the insect let it die, and fn the winter cut it down and burn it. Planting. As to nursery trees and trees from the forest, those from the nursery are generally trimmed as they should be, but take care in the transplanting of forest trees. A tree taken from the deep forest and planted in a city should be shaded. It is not enough to shade the roots. The whole tree should be shaded. It is best to plant a small tree—not a good-sized tree, and it is best to have loose soil. Some people advocate dy namiting to loosen the soil. Trees planted on the sidewalk are deprived by the paving of their surface feed ing. In grading around a tree leave a well as deep as your fill. Trees must have necessary breathing sur face. any are killed by not having this space. The agricultural departnient is al ways glad to answer questions about trees, but when you wish information don’t send a leaf and expect a diagno sis. You wouldn’t send a physician one hair out of your head and expect him to tell what was the matter with you if vou were sick. So with a dis eased tree. Send a large «nough sample. Questions. Many questions were asked Mr. Met calf concerning foreign growth on trees, method of culture, etc., to all of which he was ready with an answer which showed exhaustive study and thorough knowledge. He was pleased with the interest shown in the subject. Mr. Metcalf returned to Raleigh yes terday. WAREHOUSE STRUCK BY LIGHTNING Spartanburg, S.

Atlanta, July 13.—It is rumored here today that Senator Terrell has some intention, or is at least being urged by his friends, to resign the United States senatorship at once, with a view to embarrassing Hoke Smith and forcing the latter to resign imemdiately from the governor’s chair. What fact may be behind this has not yet been clearly shown. In the event Hoke Smith were forced to re sign at once, which seems unlikely. President Slaton of the senate, would act as governor until an election could be called. GIVE BLOCKADERS BIG TIME. Special to The News. Asheville, N.
