It is almost iucredible to think that over one and one-third million 

 fruit trees were actually inspected by the force named above, in 

 addition to over two thousand pubic demonstrations or visits to 

 Supervision Orchards. 



As a result of these inspections the owners were given informa- 

 tion concerning the kinds of pests upon their premises and how 

 to suppress them. While the chief duty of the inspector was to 

 find the San Jose scale if possible, and to help in destroying this 

 most blighting pest of our Pennsylvania orchards, they were in- 

 structed to watch for other foes that were worthy of their efforts. 



Two general meetings for the inspectors were held during the 

 year. At these meetings the Economic Zoologist delivered a series 

 of lectures, and also gave practical work and demonstrations illus- 

 trating the methods which the men were to carry into the orchards 

 and fields. These men were then supplied with Bulletins and other 

 literature, and were encouraged to give all possible spare time to 

 an advanced study of the subject which they represent. Most of 

 them do this with great credit to themselves.
