6 The Bulletin. 



Bertie. — One case at Eoxobel was reported in February, 1903. 

 Only two trees were reported infested, these having been set the 

 previous fall. 



Burke. — One case was reported from Morganton in June, 1904, 



the scale in this instance being first noted on linden and elm trees, 



and later found in the orchard. 



We have it, and, different from most others, we first discovered it on our 

 shade trees, elms, lindens, flowering cherry, and plum. Last year found that 

 it had attacked one peach orchard and spread through the center from west 

 to east. * * * We have been using the Lime-sulphur spray on lindens 

 to good effect, * * * but a great many of our shade trees are too large 

 to spray or examine. — W. Edxoin Walton, State Hospital, Morganton, N. C, 

 April 13, 1901. 



Brunswick. — In December, 1906, infested apple. twigs were sent 

 in from a place about three miles from Southport. Examination 

 in March this year (1907) showed about ten trees infested out of 

 a total of about one hundred. Trees had been painted by hand with 

 oil which had checked the scale. 



Buncombe. — In February, 1907, two small orchards were found 

 infested on Victoria Koad, Asheville. A slight case of infestation 

 has also been noted in an orchard of four hundred apple trees at 

 Weaverville. 



Cabarrus. — In March, 1903, infested apple twigs were sent in 

 from an orchard on E. F. D. No. 5 out of Concord. A year later 

 another case was reported on the same route. 



I have been entirely successful in keeping the pest in check with the Lime- 

 sulphur Wash. Though my trees are practically free from the scale, I gave 

 them another thorough treatment this spring, as I always do. — F. B. Barn- 

 hardt, R. F. D. No. 5, Concord, N. C, April 5, 1907. 



I am glad to say in regai'd to the San Jose Scale that I have them about 

 killed out. I have been using the kerosene and soap. I think they are getting 

 pretty scarce and my trees are looking fine. — John D. Walker, R. F. D. No. 5, 

 Concord, N. C, March 29, 1907. 



Carteret. — At ISTewport the scale is widespread through the large 

 orchards of George IST. Ives & Son, where it has been irregularly 

 combatted with various washes and with varying success for the 

 past eight or ten years. There can be little doubt that other premises 

 in the neighborhood are infested, though not on record. 



Catawba. — This is one of the worst-iiifested counties. At Catawba 

 one place is known to be involved and the presence of other infested 

 premises seems certain. At Conover three places are positively 

 recorded, with numerous others reported but unconfirmed. At 

 Hickory one place is recorded which may be exterminated. At 

 Newton and vicinity six cases are recorded and others are known 

 to be infested.
