Fournier, of the Fournier Tree Service, 13b2 Jefferson Ave., St. Paul, was present. He advised the Council that there is serious infestation of the trees in Falcon Heights and suggested a dormant spray to clear up scurfy scale, brown elm scale and oyster shell scale. Fournier advised there are about 900 boule- vard trees. If they are not sprayed, some will be lost. Spraying with Standard Oil Company's Superior Dormant Oil in a solution of 3 gallons of oil to 100 gallons of water would cost about $1.50 a tree or between fourteen and fifteen hundred dollars. If it rains before the spray .has dried, the application will be repeated. Last year the dormant spray was applied from about a4arch 2l~th to April 10th. Sometimes good control is achieved with 1 spraying , and spraying can be skipped for 1 or 2 years. There is no guar- antee that it would not have t~ be done every year. The Council requested that Fournier submit his offer and information regarding solutions, etc. in writing. Civil Defense 1~4rs.
