field but twenty-five men, which is not one-half the number actually 

 needed. However, we are doing the best that is possible. During 

 the past year, besides the extensive demonstration work in every 

 county of the State of Pennsylvania, there were inspected, through 

 this office's inspectors 3,0.37 premises, and in their county inspection 

 work they inspected 9,41G orchards. 



Wherever an orchard is inspected and found to have pests of any 

 kind, the owner is informed in writing, and a copy of the same 

 report is sent to this office. At the proper season of the year for 

 treating the pests reported, we communicate again with the owner, 

 by mailing to him detailed directions telling exactly what to use 

 and how. Printed literature, containing formulae for treating the 

 pests, is mailed to him, and he thus knows what pests are present 

 and how to treat them. The following is the form of report used by 

 the inspectors:

We are pleased to report that, with very rare exceptions, the in- 

 spector is cordially received and closely questioned. The Pennsyl- 

 vania fruit grower is rapidly becoming educated in the care of his
