PELLAGRA WORK ^ TO BE CONTINUED Q If Washington, June 27.?Opposing1 I 9 the report of the senate finance com- g I i mittee which struck the item from W the bill and reported adversely to it, B ra . Senator Dial today made a vigorous I I speech in the senate and saved the I I appropriation of $30,000 for the pel- I I - lagro hospital at Spartanburg. H 1 As a rule the senate stands by its I committees, except in very unusual J cases, but today Senator Dial, who is thoroughly familiar with pefllagro in the South, made so strong an appeal that the items was saved. Had this not been done the hospital would have closed June 30 and no more pellagro work would have been done in ; South Carolina, at least for another year. Congressman Nicholls of Spartan burg, took care of the situation in ^ the house and saved the matter there before it went to the senate finance 1 committee. Blue Submits Data. Surgeon General Rupert Blue, ? chief of the public health service,! ? submitted to Senator Dial the follow-! ing data, which the latter used effect tively: 8 "In the sundry civil bill, as passed i, by the house, an appropriation of' i $30,000 was made for special studies' of pellagra.

TROUBLESOME SHADE TREE SCALES e e e Clemson College, June 28.?Dur4 ing this season of the year this of1 fice often receives reports of the occurrence of heavy infestations of two scale insects very commonly found j I -Tin nVin/1 trww in nnr <mvs. I ? li I Prof. A. F. Conradi, Entomologist, ! 0 j The most common of these is known j I I ' as the Gloomy scale on account ofi its gloomy looking appearance, re-!^% p sembling very much the color of tihe\y0 bark of the maple on which is occurs, j f This scale is important for two rea-j I- sons, the rapidity with which it! f d breeds, and the fact that it is almost entirely confined to the soft' maples so largely used for shade' t trees in our citiesi B The Gloomy scale belongs to the', > same family as the San Jose scale but is larger, darker gray in color, and leaves a characteristic white ? spot when the scale is removed. ,t This scale insect, like the San Jose, j i- is very injurious to the trees andj will in time kill, them if control! measures are not employed. ^ Another important enemy of our > shade trees is known as the Cottony maple scale, a native parasite of our soft maples. It is rarely if ever 4af jurious to the maples growing in our forests, but often becomes soj destructive to shade trees in cities, and parks as to necessitate control; measures. This scale, ( unlike the Gloomy i scale, appears very much worse some > years than others, owing to the ap-j pearance of its insect parasites. The j I Cottony maple scale appears early inj b tne summer, ana wn?n abundant is i 8 very conspicuous, the undersides of | the leaves being heavily coated with B cotton-like waxy masses, each prob jecting from a brown cap or scale.
