8 PARASITES. Important Paper from the Board of Horticulture. Internal Enemies of tho Yellow Scale Discovered in the San Gabriel Val ley— Recommendations and Notes. From B. M. LeLong, Secretary of the State Board of Horticulture, we have the 'ollowing important paper, submitted to ■he Board by Alexander Craw, Quaran tine Officer and ex oilieio Entomologist: In the year 1872, an extensive orange grower in tiie San Gabriel Valley, pur chased several small orange trees at a S.m Francisco tree depot, and planted them in his grove with the intention of budding from them, if the varieties proved desira ble, as previous to that must of the citrus trees in California were grown from seed and allowed to beat fruit as seedlings. The trees were found to be infested with a scale baaed of a species of «Aspidibtas, which spread to the adjoining orange trees, and their presence was detected by the mottled, sirkly appearance of the leaves and fruit. A determined effort was made to check its spread, and, if possible, stamp it out, and the trees In the infested portion of tbo grove were cut back, the branches burned, and the trunks and limbs scrubbed; I?111 after ail this heroic treatment enough scales escaped to infest the district. To distinguish it from the "brown scale," /..«-' -iinm hesperidism, and the "black scale," y,. oleoe (the only scales that were then attracting attention in the state, it was Darned the "red scale," from its reddish-yellow shell, and was con sidered identical with the red scale of Australia, Axpiiliotiis luirnitlii, Maskell; but quite recently specific differences have been observed that prove it distinct, anil it is now known as the "yellow scale," AspidiotHS dtrinus, Coquillett. Various eolations were sprayed on the trie; solphurand other substances were inserted under the bark, and the small roots were severed, and to the ends lead ing to the trunk vials were placed con taining chemicals of various kinds, in the hope that the routs would take the chemi cals up and destroy the scales; hut in a great many Instances the trees were de stroyed instead,and others injured and made unproductive by reason of the caustic or greasy properties of the washes then used. In the meantime the scale was slowly bat surely spreading, until now it is found in nearly all the orango growing sections of the valley and ad joining foothills. In tlie spring of LBB9,Mr. Cogswell, of theSksrra Sfadre Villa, Informed me that the scales were not as numerous in his Stove as they had been. He brought me branches infested with yellow scales, from which I hatched a number of very small clrilciti Hies; this parasite, hiow ever,ihad been discovered by Professor I). vv. Coquillett two years previous, in the extensive groves of A. B. & A. s. Chap men : but as the Improvement in the con dition of the trees was more noticeable in tin- Cogswell grove, I am of the opinion that tiny spread from the latter to the Chapman and other orchards. Various theories have been advanced for the disappearance of the yellow scale in that section; the principal one is, the excessive rainfall of the winter of Ins»i-<io. But this theory <:\u easily be exploded by Use fact that we have had very heavy rains in previous winters, and again, the improvement was noticeable and <-om mented upon previous to the winter of 18S9-90. lithe rains had caused the de struction oi the scales, why is it that the decrease >s not all over the infested boc tion? [find that where the parasite has only recently been found, or where 1 ha\ c boon unable to find them at all. the yellow scales arc as numerous as before. I have recently hatched them by the hun dred from scale-infested leaves taken from an orchard wherein a little over a year ago the parasite was not known to exist. The presence of such numbers of parasitic ins;>cts—even if they are so minute as hardly to be detected with the naked eye—should be sufficient to con vince even the mosL skeptical that the scales are succumbing to "nature's rem edy." The feet that the scales appeared to be on the increase last fall can be accounted for. That is the time when our scale pests have every season shown the most in crease, and that tins was noticeable in the orchards where the parasite lias been at work the longest, is not very remarkable as we have had another identical case. When the cottony cushion scale was sup posed to be cleaned out of some groves, and consequently there was no food for the Vedalia cardinalis, the latter disap peared, and a few of the former that es caped increased and c;;:is;>d considerable alarm: but they were s:>on destroyed when the growers placed a fresh colony of the ladybirds.on their trees. \ i:i.!.o\v MAi.i-: ivusasit::.

W« will ondoubtedly always hare tho yoilow scale; lmt no doubt the trees and fruit can l<e kept in a healthy condition by this parasite. 1 would thereforereoun mend the colonisation of it wherever tho "yellow scale" is found. In two former ariieios 1 have recommended that nn Used ia Lliliians q£ Hames— 40 Years tlie StandarcL SACKAMEXTO PAIL!:" fIttCOBP-UyiOX, SATURDAY, FEBBTTAPtY 28, 1891.—EIGHT PAGES. effort bo made to colonize this parasite up on the true red sc&le, A*pidiotu.<i anrantii; but in a recent visit to the Villa grove I had conclusive proof that this will be'im pnssible, or at least of practical benefit. Mr. Cogswell cajtlet} my attention to a different scale hc'Juul noticed upon a lime tree near the hotel. This proved to be A. inn-nntii, and T advised the destruction of the infested trees, as this scale would be a more serious Beat*to contend with; for nothing but fumigation with hydrocyanic acid gas has been of any avail against 'it. I cannot account for it's appearance there unle<s it has been taken upon an orange by a visitor to the hotel and the infested peel thrown under or onto the lime tree. HOW TO OOLOKXZB Tin: PARASITE. The colonization of this parasite will not be as satisfactory to the orange-growers as was that of the Vedalia eanunaUa, be cause we cannot see the larva pick up the sca'.o and devour it; however, if they are introduced in an orange grove infested with yellow scale, the beneficial results will bo certain even if not immediately observable, as was the case with the Ve dalia. Branches should be obtained with scale-Infested leaves from an orchard known to contain parasites in numbers. This can be ascertained by placing a few infested loaves in a white paper box, clos ing thorn up tightly with a cover; and after a few days the box and leaves should be examined with a magnifying glass— this is really necessary, tor even with good eyesight they will be overlooked, as they are so very minute—if numbers are found, brandies should be taken, and the ends placed in boxes containing wet sand or soil; this will beep the leaves fresh and allow the parasites to de velop and hatch. As the branches dry up, others can be procured and the operation repeated. The boxes should be placed under the trees in the shade, or be secured in the branches, and so located iv the orchard that the prevailing summer winds may aid materially in their distri bution. fioi.Pi:x ciiAi.cin. New species. (Unnamed.) This new parasite is also working on the yellow scale, and is indeed very promising. It i was firs: observed in" Duarte; but re cently I received numerous specimens from an orchard near the Stoneuiau tract, San Gabriel, also from an orchard in Alhambra. It is very interesting to know that from the infested branches re ceived from the orchards none of the Coccopkagus dtrituu were hatched, show ing that this newer species ms working by itself upon the scale i;i those districts. This parasite is much larger than the other, and of a bright golden-yellow color. xoti:s. Some of the internal parasites have, like the scales they attack, but one gener ation each year. This is the case with the one upou the black scale. Lecdniwm <>l<-<i: Seventy-live per cent, of these scales are annually destroyed by a parasite, Dil op/iogusicr Valifornica, Howard. This is a great check to what would other wise prove a very destructive scale ; but the parasite only deposits eggs in the mature scales and just about ihe time the hitter contains eggs, so that the -."> per cent, that escape the parasites am sufficient t:> again Infest the tree, from the fact that each scale contains from7oo to 1,000 eggs. But it will be fully len months before the scales are developed enough to lie attacked by the Dilopho gaster. This is not the case with the parasite of the yellow scale. They are breeding all the time. I have found them every month in the year; ami a h:tit grown yellow scale is ample food to de velop and mature a parasite.

Washington, Feb. 27.—The conferees on the bill lor the repeal of the timber culture law and amendatory land laws generally have practically reached an agreement on an entirely new bill, which will be brought forward at the first op portunity. The subject matter of tho bill has for the past two Congresses been in dispute between the House and Senate, and for a long tinio the conferees during this Congress failed to come to an understand ing. Tho bill agreed upon will change the general tana system of the Government. The bill lirst repeals tiie Timber Culture Act, but with a reservation in favor of bona tide claims heretofore initiated. In computing the period of cultivation on claims already accruing it is provided that the time shall run from the date oi entry. The preparation of land and the plant ing of trees will bu construed as acts of cultivation. Persons who have complied with the provisions ofjiho Timber Culture Act for four years may prove up their claims by the payment of %\ 'S> per acre. The Dssert Land Act has been amended by the requiring of the filing map show ing the proposed method of reclamation, and no person tjhall receive patents for land under the Act unless they have ex- j ponded in the work of reclamation at least ;y{ per acre, §1 to be expended within each year. After four years the title may be se cured by the payment of £1 per acre. Section •Ji.'SS of the Kevised Statutes has been amended, so that any bona fide set tler may have the right to transfer any portion of his claim for tho right of way for irrigation purposes, as well as for church, cemetery, railroad or school pur poses. The pre-emption law is repealed, except j as to claims heretofore initiated and e.\,- ; as to pre-emptions by counties under the special law. Section 2289 is amended so that persons already holding 100 acres of land, or who abandon their residence on their own land, shall not have the right to make a homestead entry. Entries may be sus pended for the correction of clerical errors. The United States is estopped fro;n tiie vacation, of any patent or claims hereto fore initiated, unlcsssuit is brought with in five years, and on future claims within six yean. It is provided that in Colorado, Mon tana, North and South Dakota, Wyo ming and the gold and silver regions of Nevada and Utah, it shall be sufficient i defense oi any prosecution for trespass t i show that the timber culture was for agricultural, mining, manufacturing or j domestic purposes, and not for t:v.:!> portation out of the State. This provis ion, however, does not apply tp rail roads. A provision is made for a town-site en try in Alaska and for acquisition thereof lands necessary for trade or manufactur ing purposes. Towns and cities, it is declared, may make town-site entries on mineral lands, but this right shall not interfere with working underground mineral claims. Provision Is made for grants of right of way for irrigation purposes; but reser voir sites ::r.;s: not contain any more land than what maybe necessary for tlit-ir construction. Tho maximum amount of land which any peraop. may acquire is limited to :£i) acres. Tha President is given the right to set apart and reserve in any territ ry forest lands as public reservations, not subject to be entered upon. This will meet the principal aim of what is known as the Yellowstone Park bill. -<. Tn France there is a Government tax of wo per cent. lovkM on all beta on raoes. J^ttsceUarteowa, Highest of all in Leavening Power.—U. S. Gov't Report, Aug. 17, 1889, ABSOIVTEIY PURE CONGRESSIONAL. TIIE LEGISLATIVE APPROPRIATION* BILL, PASSED BY THE SENATE. The House Occupies Its Time in Con sideration of the Ship ping uni. ! Special to tho Urcoivo-Usiojr. Washington, Feb. 27. — A message ; from the President was presented to the | Senate, returning without liis approval the iiiii to tstabiish a Becord and Pension Oiiiw of the JYar Department. I: was referred to the Committee on Military AlVairs. The President states his objection to the ) bill at some length, to the effect generally j that it is not competent for Congress to i nominate a particular person to till an of ! lice created by law. The House, bill i'or the relief of Henry ; L. Moroy was passed. Papers were presented to support the claim of W. 11. Clagett to a seat in the Senate from Idaho, tor which the creden- I tials of l)ul»>is are already on file. They I were referred to the Conunittoo on Privi leges and Elections. Mandersoh's resolution Instructing the Committee on Indian Affairs to inquire into the condition of tin Indian tribes of ilk Dakota*, Montana and elsewhere, and to ascertain whether the care and control of tin? Indians living in tvib:ii relations should be transferred from the Interior Department to any other department, was ajrreed to. Sherman slated that he was authorized by the Committee on Foreign Relations to say that in view of the state of public j business, the Nicaragua Canal bill will not be brassed any further at this time and anight take its plaoe on the calendar. The consideration of the legislative ap propriation bill was then resumed, the first question being on the amendment as ! to the clerical force of the Civil Service Commission. The amendment was amended to pro vide that said clerks shall be appointed by the President, under the civil service rule, and as amended was passed. It in creases the nay of. the Secretary from $1,600 to $15,000; provides for live clerks of class live, live 01 class thive, three of class one, three at $1,000 each, two at QQOO, one messenger and laborer, and changes tho total appropriation from $53,700 to $52,200. The amendment appropriating £40,000 for a Fourth Assistant Postmaster-lien eral was agreed to. The, committee amendment appropri ating f.voo for the reapportioninent of Utah Territory was, after much debate, reduced to $1,000, and agreed to. On motion o: Sherman, a new section was instituted changing the Act of May, IBS2,soas to authorize the Superintend ent of the Mint and of the assay office at New York, with the approval of the Sec rotary of tho Treasury ;l>ut not other wise), to recover United su.tes gold coin from any holder thereof, in sums of not less than |5,000, and delivering in ex change therefor gold bars of equal value, with a charge equal to the cost of manu facturing the liars. The bill was then passed. The pure food bill Was then taken up and became the unfinished business. The Senate then went into executive ! session, alter which Dawes asked unani mous consent to the taking up of the In i dian appropriation bill. Vance objected, and Dawes then moved to take up the Indian bill. The motion was agreed to, thus dis placing the pure food bin. Paddock ex pressing an opinion that it was a gross ■ injustice. At the suggestion of Dawes, unanimous 'consent was given to proceed to the con sideration of tho House hills on the cal endar. Morrill tried to bring up the House amendment to the direct tax bill, but j Berry objected, and it went over. Among the bills passed were the fol | lowing: Amendment of various Acts rel ative to immigration, etc.; to amend the Act of March ISS!>, for the relief of cer tain volunteer and regular soldiers of the late war and the Mexican war; for the allowance of certain claims lor stores and supplies taken and used by the United States army, as reported by the Court of Claims under thy provisions of the Bow man Act. Cockrell moved an additional nmond i raent to the bill, inserting items of $174, --415 tor tho Chateau claim in connection with building iron Btetnhers. This was agreed to, after a long discussion, in the course Of which Plumb said if tho ! Court of Claims was allowed to continue I its present course of rendering judgments I against the Government,the Government i would have to go into bankruptcy. The Senate at t> o'clock began to con sider the Indian appropriation bill. The provision Tor the purchase of irri gating machineryiu Arizona and Nevada for the use of Indian reservations was amended !>v the addition of the States of ; Idaho and Montana. The appropriation for the support of Indian schools was increased from 8900, --000 to $l,Uoo,fla). On motion of Paves the committee amendments reducing the per capita rate for the support of liv'uan pupils from ?lt>7 to $156 was disagreed to. Dawes explain ing that the committee had changed its j views. Plumb offered an amendment declaring : all lands in Oklahoma agricultural lands, jand that proof of tha nominal character shall not be required as conditions prece dent to rinal entry. Agreed to. The rate of ; i -'. to be paid the Sisseton and vv ihpeton bands wns in creased from :: to 5 percent. A proposition by Pettigrew to reduce the settlement price of the Sisseton and Wahpeton hujds to $J s> per acreinate ■ . >-j ."■<•. as proposed in the substitute, ! was discussed at length, and finally it was arranged that the substitute should be agreed to. The bill was reported to the Senate, and the whole matter went over until to morrow. The Senate then took up the bills on the calendar, but as no quorum was pres ; cut it soon adjourned. IN THE HOUSE. I Washhtotok, FeU .7.— ln the House (he Senate bill was passed ainemiatorv of law providing for the selection of I lands. The House then wont into Committee of tho Whole resuming consideration of the shipping bill. Th<-- tfousc substitute for the Senate bill wa- read by paragraphs for amendment. Herbert of Alabama offered an amend ment withdrawing tiie subsidy from rail ing vessels and confining it to steamships. Clunle of California offered an amend ment providing that the payment shall not be made for more than fourteen thousand miles sailed on either the out ward or inward voyage (tha bill limits it to seven thousand miles). Lost. Struble of lowa ottered an niuon<lni< nt providing for the measurement of dis stanees made in accordance with the shortest practicable route. Lost. Rogers of Arkansas ogferad an amend ment providing that one-half of the crew iof \ •-s < enjoying the benefits of this Act shall be citizens of the United States, or persons signifying their intention o{ becoming such, without regard to race, color, or previous condition of servitude. Agreed to. An amendment by Grosvenor. provid ing thai no sailing vessel of less than one thousand .tonnage'snail be entitled to the benefits of tho Act, was agreed to. An amendment by Covert of New York was adopted, providing that a record of American shipping, by which the classi fication and standing of the ship to be benefited is determined, shall be ap proved by the Commissioner of Naviga tion and a majority of the Boards Of Un derwriters of New York, Boston, Phila delphia, New Orleans and San Francisco. At five o'clock the committee rose and reported the bill to the House without amendment, no vote having i>een taken in the committee upon the substitute. Farqnehar formally offered the House substitute for the Senate Hill. Springer made a point of order that this being Friday, tin House was in recess until eight o'clock, but the point was overruled by the Speaker, on the ground ! that a special order superseded a general j rule. Then tbo House became a nceaeof contusion, growing out of a parliament- i ary tangle. i-'iiihian of Illinois obtained permission to oiler a free ship substitute, which was lost—yeas 117, nays 17-. * The House substitute was then agreed to—Ml to 47. The vote then recurring on ordering the Senate bill, as amended by the sub- Btitnto, to a third reading, tho roll was called amid intense excitement. As the call came to a close and it was known that the motion had been defeated, there were many manifestations of pleasure on the Democratic side. At the last mo ment, however, Dingley changed his vote to the negative, and the Speaker an nounced the vote to he—yeas 140. nays 1-JS. The announcement was greeted with wild applause by the Democrats, mul then Dingley moved to reconsider tho motion, which McMillan promptly moved to lay on the table. This motion was defeated—l 46 to 149—and the Repub licans were jubilant. Then came a vote j on the motion to reconsider. This was agreed to —148 to 14JL and tho question again recurred on-ordering tho bill to a third reading. The third reading was or dered—yeas 147. nays 145. Cannon of Illinois moved that the bill be recommitted to the Committee on Merchant Marine and Fisheries, with in structions to that committee to report back forthwith a bill similar to the Sen ate bill on the same subject, to provide for an ocean mail service between the United States and foreign ports. Bland of Missouri raised a point of order against the motion. The Speaker ruled Cannon's motion in order and it was carried— l 43 to 142. Farquehar of New York immediately J arose and reported back the bill, in ac-I cordance with the instructions. The bill ' having been road, a fusillade of points of ! order came from the Democratic side. Crisp raised a point that the bill must be considered in Committee of the Whole, pending which the point was raised that ! the bill had lost its privilege character, ' and must take its place at the foot of the j calendar. The Speaker overruled the point of order, and the Senate bill, as amended, was passed—yeaa 1 -!". nays 129. Farquehar moved that a conference lie ordered., and pending action, the House, at midnight, adjourned. Teacher —"Xow, Johnny you may ex plain to me the dill'eronce'lvtw ecu a' King and a President?

A RARE OPPORTUNITY — Good Agricultural Land for $1O to $2O per Acre. The Pacific Improvement Company has re cently purchased twelve thousand acres of land in the heart of Tehama, County, lor the purpose of promoting subdivision and settle ment. This land embraces lands from lirst- Bjbai .Sacramento Valley nsrlcultural land, to land of fair average quality, and is ottered nt from $10 to $20 per ucre. in subdivisions of 40, hO, 120,100 and32o acres. The terms upon which these lands are offered -ore especially attractive. They will be sold in subdivisions, as above indicated, by the pay ment ol'interest only for three years, at which time the purchaser otin beirln the payment of principal by paying the first of Jive equal an uual installments. Xhr.s no part of the prin cipal is to be paid for three years, and t lien the purchaser is to have live years in which to pay live equal annual installments, with interest at the rate of 7 per cent, per annum, making payments extending over a period of eight years. Intending purchasers nre as sured that this is an opportunity to purchase land of lair average 'lual'.ty at §10 per acre, i and good agricultural land at $20 an acre, with other grades of land at prices to corre spond between these figures. The assertion is frequently made that good lands, suitable for general farming, and es pecially adapted for fruit-growing, cannot be hail In California for less than from §f!0 to tfluO an acre. An examination oftheland subject or this advertisement will prove to home-seokors that this is an opportunity for the purchase of good agricultural land at $20 an acre, and for qualities grading down to fair agricultural land tit $10 au acre, on terms of payment, which should make, the disposi tion of these lands to actual settlers a result easy of accomplishment. The primary objeclof tho purchase of this I body, of land was the breaking up of a large holding for the purpose or promoUng it.s settle ment in smaller quantities and it.s devotion to diligent husbandry.
