10 The Bulletin. 



There is no question but that any one whose orchard is infested by the San 

 Jose Scale can (by pruning and thoroughly spraying with the Lime-sulphur 

 Wash) so control tbe pest as to grow large and flue crops of fruit. I know 

 this bj^ experience. I bad trees three years ago almost covered with scale ; now 

 they seem nearly free and are flourishing. — Rev. J. C. Gallouai/, Gastonia, 

 N. C, April 10, 1901. 



I have had bettor results from the use of oil emulsion (than from Lime- 

 sulphur) for San Jose Scale. I used a 20 per cent, oil emulsion made after 

 your formula, just as the sap begins to flow. — /?. F. Lincherger, Mount Holly, 

 N. C, April 1, 1907. 



Granville. — Our only record of the San Jose Scale in this county 

 is at Creedmoor, where it seems to be held in check. 



I have used the Lime-sulphur AVash on my fruit trees with good results for 

 two winters now, 'and if I ha dnot used the wash my trees would have all 

 been killed. Have had just as nice fruit on my trees for two years as I ever 

 saw. I bave some peach trees now in my orchard tbat the scale killed over 

 half dead, and I used the wash and saved them. They put out a fine new 

 growth last summer and now they look as healthy as any trees I ever saw. — 

 L. H. Longmire, Creedmoor, N. C, March 27, 1907. 



Guilford. — This is another countv in which the scale is wide- 

 spread. Our records list one case each at Rudd, Oak Ridge, and 

 Jamestown ; four in Greensboro and vicinity, and twelve in or on 

 R. F. D. Routes out from the town of High Point. In High Point 

 the town lots in the extreme southern end of town seem to be quite 

 generally infested. 



I have had great success in combatting the scale and at the present time I 

 don't think I can find more than one or too trees in my orchard infested with 

 the scale. I depend on the Lime-sulphur Wash. Circulars and advice you 

 have been sending out have been of great benefit to me. — C. M. Kirkman, 

 Rudd, N. C, April 6, 1907. 



I feel that we are making satisfactory progress against the San Jos6 Scale. — 

 Jolm J. Phoenix, Qreenshoro, N. C, March 26, 1907. 



Have given my trees no treatment the past winter as most of my trees are 

 practically free from scales. I have tried kerosene emulsion. Lime-sulphur 

 Wash, and kerosene alone, but think the Lime-sulphur is best, though kerosene 

 rubbed on kills them cleaner than anything else I have tried. I think my 

 trees would have all died, without your treatment, long ago.— C A. Osborn'C. 

 Willotobrook Street, High Point, N. C, April 1, 1907. 



I am using Lime-sulphur Wash ; gave them a good wash the past winter, and 

 they are in fairly good condition now, I think. — B. A. Jordan, R. F. D.. No. 1, 

 High Point, N. C, Mag 9, 1907. 



We have sprayed this spring with the Lime-sulphur Wash with satisfactory 

 results, r had about given up the idea of fruit-growing until I received your 

 bulletins about two years ago on this subject. These directions I carried out 

 fully and sprayed thoroughly and am sure it has been of real value. I find it 

 best to spray whether the scale is visible or not. as it is much easier to keep it 

 off than to sa^e a tree nearly dead with it — W. L. Kivett, R. F. D. No. 2, 

 High Point, N. C, April .>,, 1907. 



Halifax. — The only locality where the San Jose Scale is posi- 

 tively recorded in this county is Brinkleyville, where five premises
