Euonymus Scale
Euonymus scale has been found
on a number of Euonymus shrubs
In plantings around homes in Mc
Cormick. The old scale is a dark
gray color, while the^ young re
sembles a tiny white fly. The main
stems of the shrubs are infested as
well as the smaUer ones. This scale
has been unusually active this sea
son. The recommended means of
combating at this time of the year
is to spray with concentrated lime
sulphur (one part to 20 parts of
water). In the winter months,
while the plants are dormant, an
oil emulsion spray can be used sat
isfactorily.
The County Agent will be glad
to assist anyone in identifying this
scale.

County Agent.

Number 15 ‘
Truck Load Poultry
Sold
Approximately 3,000 pounds of
poultry was sold, cooperatively, Au
gust 20th at McCormick and Troy.
A majority of the load consisted of
culled White Leghorn hens. Selling
at this time enabled commercial
growers to market their cull hens
and make room to house their
flocks of young pullets. It was a
disappointment to the trucksters
and a compliment to McCormick
County poultry growers’ culling
ability, that only two eggs were
found in the crates after the poul
try had been loaded about two
hours. The total receipts were ap
proximately $370.00.
