are recorded, and it is quite likely that there are others. Mr. Hun- 

 ter's statement about securing information from other sources than 

 our publications is an excellent hint to other fruit-growers who 

 might with profit subscribe for high-class farm journals or fruit- 

 growers papers that would help them out of many difficulties. 



I spray my trees every spring with the Lime-sulphur Wash. Last spring I 

 found a few scales, but have seen none this. I can't say that your circulars in 

 resaril to this i»est have been of much benefit to me, simply because I have a 

 good (loal of other literature on the subject and had made a considerable study 

 of the subject already. — R. B. Hunter, B r inkle yville, N. C, March 26, 1907. 



My experience with spraying has not been very satisfactory, and my expe- 

 rience trying to raise fruit so far has been very unsatisfactory. — John H. Vin- 

 son, Briiildeyville, N. C, March 28, 1907. 



Haywood. — In this, which is one of the very finest apple counties, 

 the San Jose Scale seems* to be widespread at Waynesville, where 

 six cases are recorded (most very recently discovered), and a single 

 case is on record near Clyde. In the best orchards it has never 

 become very destructive, as it has been combatted from first discov- 

 ery with Lime-sulphur, Scalecide, and in one or two cases with 

 other washes. In the case at Clyde the pest may have been extermi- 

 nated, as shown by the following : 



The trees on my place that were infested with San .Jose Scale were small 

 and of recent purchase, and I cut and burned every twig of them. Since then 

 I have seen nothing that resembles it. — M. A. KirJcpatricJc, R. F. D. No. 1, 

 Clyde, N. C, March 27, 1907. 



Henderson. — One case each is on record from Fletcher and Hen- 

 dersonville, in the latter case a fine large young apple orchard being 

 involved. 



This year I have not had the time to spray my trees with the Lime-sulphur 

 Wash as I had intended to. Last year's experience, however, when I used this 

 wash, fully satisfied me that it is a first-class method of keeping the scale in 

 check. — Benjamin H. Rutledge, Charleston. S. C. (orchard at Fletcher. N. C), 

 March 26, 1907. 



Winter before last we used the Lime-sulphur Wash, and while it did not 

 clean the trees perfectly, it destroyed the larger part of it. Last fall we 

 found it well scattered again on our trees and this year we have used "Scale- 

 cide," and we think with good effect. We have about 8,000 apple arid peach 

 trees. We think that San Jose Scale is fast spreading all over this part of 

 the State.— il/. C. and C. F. Toms, Bender sonville, N. C, April 2, 1907. 



Iredell. — One town lot in Statesville is recorded, twigs showing 

 the insect being sent in July, 1903. Some of the trees have since 

 been destroyed, and others treated (with evident benefit) with the 

 Lime-sulphur Wash. It is likely that there are other infested prem- 

 ises in Statesville.
