Jackson. — In this county two cases are on record at Dillsboro, 

 and in both cases it seems that the scale has not been successfully 

 combatted, though for what reason we cannot say. It seems most 

 likely that a lack of thoroughness in application was the chief diffi- 

 culty, perhaps couplecf with imperfectly prepared mixtures. 



I have been bothered with San Jose Scale for about 4 years. I have washed 

 my trees with kerosene oil and soap for two years and that failed, then I 

 washed them with lime and sulphur and that failed. One day last week I cut 

 down 30 of my trees and burnt them. — H. R. Snider, Dillshoro, N. C, March 29, 

 1907. 



Johnston.— One case was discovered at Clayton and the owner 

 has preferred not to trust to remedies. . 



I have used the axe on every tree where I could see a sign of the scale, and 

 buraed them, and will set no more trees there for some time. — N. R. Pool, 

 R. F. D. No. 3, Clayton, N. C, March 26, 1907.- 



Lee. — One case is known at Sanford and one at Jonesboro. In 

 both cases it is believed that the pest is being kept in good control. 



I have been using the Lime-Sulphur Wash and think it benefited my trees 

 very much. I think the scale can be kept under good control. — J. D. Mclver, 

 Sanford, N. C, April 6, 1907. 



Lenoir. — Kinston and LaGrange are represented in our records 

 with one case at each. In one of these cases it seems to have been 

 thoroughly dealt with, while in the other case it is still present in 

 destructive numbers, and is likely in neighboring orchards, from 

 his report. 



I never had but one tree with the San Jos6 Scale at my former (Lenoir 

 County) home. I burned it, and the following winter used the Lime-sulphur 

 Wash, and that was the last year I ever saw any. — A. J. Sutton, Qreenshoro 

 ifoi-merhj Kinston), 26, 1907. 



I have about abandoned my peach orchard for three causes: (1) I cannot 

 get labor to assist in spraying: (2) the wood on most of the trees is about 

 dead; (3) they are worth but little. It is useless for me to try to eradicate 

 the scale in an old orchard like mine, when the scale is all around me in other 

 orchards. It was first brought into this section by others. I have dug up and 

 burned a large portion of my trees and intend to eventually destroy what I 

 have left— 7). M. Stanton. LaGrange, N. C, March 28. 1907. 



Lincoln. — Two cases, both in Lincolnton or vicinity, are on record. 



As to my success in combatting San Josg Scale I think I can safely say I 

 have them pretty well conquered. I have (50 trees in the infested orchard — the 

 fruit in this orchard was the finest and clearest of worms of any in the com- 

 munity.— (7. L. Shrum, R. F. D. No. .',. Lincolnton. N. C, March 28, 1907. 



McDowell. — One case at Marion is all we have recorded for this 

 countv. 



!My fruit garden is small, say 75 trees. The San Jose Scale got on these 

 before I was aware of it and so badly damaged some that I dug out and re-
