peach and several apple trees. I find that it is so bad on my farm that I 

 believe it \vill ]ia.v me lo destroy all the trees smd commeufe anew. All of niy 

 neiKhl)ors have tiie scale. I have some trees that are real old that are dying 

 Willi scale. Put out a few peach trees about a year ago and find them dead 

 with it. I am very much discouraged along the line of fruit-raising. — W. H. 

 Andrews, Speed, N. C, March SO, 1907. 



I have been using "Scalecide" on my trees for the San Jose Scale ; it seems 

 to be doing the worlv all right. It checked tlie dying of trees.— Georf/e </• 

 Hales, h'ocky Mount, N. C, March 27, 1907. 



I have saved trees when not too far gone by using kerosene oil put on with 

 a little paint brush, preferably when the trees are not in leaf, but if they are 

 I paint the trunk and limbs anyway.— i^. B. Lloyd, Tarhoro, N. C, March 30, 

 1907. 



I have just found that I have scale and I began at once with Lime-sulphur 

 as you recommended. Gave my trees a good spraying about the first of 

 March.— r. P. Jenkins. Tarhoro, N. C, March, 27, 1907

Forsyth.^One case is recorded near Kernersville, and four others 

 from Winston-Salem or vicinity. 



I think I have it under control. I used the treatment you recommended 

 (Lime-sulphur). I have about 200 trees in all.— If. H. Weavel, R. F. D. A'o. 6,

I bought a bucket spray pump and a gallon Target Brand Scale Destroyer, 

 and sprayed about one dozen dwarf pear trees about first of December, together 

 with two apple trees. The pear trees were but slightly affected, but one of the 

 apples was literally covered with scale. I gave them the second application 

 in February, and I notice the trees are putting out and don't detect any 

 scale.— IF. J. Wolff. Winstow, N. C, March 30, 1907. 



Franklin. — Tavo cases are recorded in this county, the owners in 

 each case living in Louisburg. ISTot knowing anything of the way 

 in which the wash was prepared or applied in the case reported in 

 the following note, we cannot say why his results should be so unsat- 

 isfactory, but his report is a very unusual one: 



I used the wash referred to (Lime-sulphur) for the scale two years, but 

 could not check it * * * The scale seemed so determined in spite of all 

 my efforts that I cut down all my trees to save my neighbors', though I think 

 our entire section is infected and only one party making an effort to check it— 

 D. T. Smithicick, Louisljurg, N. C, March, 1907. 



Gaston. — This is another of the worst-infested counties in the 

 State. One case is known at Lucia, and three at Bessemer City, 

 though there are almost certainly other cases at the latter place. 

 The entire neighborhoods of Gastonia and Mount Holly are appar- 

 ently infested, our records listing thirteen persons at Gastonia and 

 seven at Mount Holly, though it is certain that there are numerous 

 others at both places. 



I sprayed my trees last year, and it did a lot of good. Lime-sulphur will 

 surelv kill the San .Tose Scale. There is a lot of scale here all over the coun- 

 trv.-^7. A. Best. R. F. D. No. 1, Bessemer City. N. C, April 1. 1907.
