The Bulletin. 7 



Replyiiij: to yours of recent date, will say I hiul two trees infested with San 

 Jose Scale a few years ayo. I burned tbeui and have had none since. — 17. //. 

 Nicholson, Hickory, N. C, April 1, 1DU7. 



I sprayed my trees with Linie-sulpliur and it surely cleaned up the scale. 

 I got my neighbors to ppray their trees, too. I saw trees sprayed with the 

 Lime-suiphur a year ago and they have no scale on them now, and the bark is 

 slick and smooth. It is the remedy and the people are beginning to use it 

 right along.— J. J). Bolicic, Conovcr, N. C, March 29, 1907. 



I have had very good success in checking the San Jos6 Scale with the Lime- 

 sulphur Wash. My orchax'd was badly infested when I conmienced ; I c-ut 

 down 45 S-year apple, and 40 4-year peach, and nearly all the rest of my trees 

 were affected, but since using the Lime-sulphur Wash I have not lost a tree 

 from the scale. I have about destroyed the pest on all (150) of the trees 

 except about 10, and have those under control. The information I have 

 received from your department has been of incalculable beneht to my orcli- 

 ard.— .4. C. Hlldebrand, Newton, N. C, March 30, 1907. 



I think I have the scale under control and my trees seem to be in very good 

 condition. I have sprayed all my trees the past winter. I have been using 

 the Lime-sulphur Wash and am well pleased with it — N. A. Fry, Newton, 

 N. C, March 28, 1907. 



Chatham. — In March, 1903, a case was reported from Lockville, 

 the scale having been found on young trees. The owner was treat- 

 ing, having removed the worst trees. 



Clay. — In June, 1906, infested apple twigs were sent in from 

 Brasstown. Examination of the orchard in April, 1907, shows the 

 scale present in from slight to moderate degrefe in an orchard of 

 abont two hundred and fifty trees. On account of delay in securing 

 spraying apparatus the orchard will not be treated until another 

 year. 



Cleveland. — One case each is recorded for the towns of Cleveland 

 Mills and Lawndale, while five are recorded at Shelby and vicinity, 

 this latter locality seeming to be pretty generally infested. 



I have 400 trees in orchard. Have used Lime-sulphur, but it does not do all 

 we would like; it does hold scale in check so it does not seem to damage fruit 

 to any great extent. — J. B. Nolan, Lawndale, N. C, March 27, 1907. 



This is my first season to use Lime-sulphur. I have an orchard of about 60 

 trees, apples and peaches, more or less affected with scale. Applied the wash 

 about the last days of February. Got a pretty coat of white on them, and 

 they all seem to be taking ou new life. Am well pleased so far with the treat- 

 ment— Zf. D. Wilson, Shelhy N. C, March 27, 1907. 



Columbus. — One case is known at Whiteville, reported in March, 



1905. It has been reported that the pest is destructive at Chad- 

 bourn, but if so, positive proof is not on record in this office. The 

 orchard at Whiteville was sprayed with Lime-sulphur in February, 



1906, but we have no record of treatment for this pest the past winter, 

 though the orchard is reported in good condition. 



Cumberland.— One case is on record for each of the localities of 

 Raeford, Manchester, and Leavitt, while two are recorded at Fayette-
