that there are more. Very recently a new case has been discovered 

 at Sunshine. 



My trees are looking fine, almost free of scale, but as a precaution have 

 sprayed tbeui this spring with Lime-sulphur Wash, which seems to be the 

 remedy, as my trees would have been dead if I had not used this or some- 

 thing else. The people who have not sprayed their trees are losing them 

 fast. — F. B. Byers, Caroleen, N. C. (orchard near Ellenboro), March 27, 1901. 



In my opinion, the spraying of trees in this community has been very benefi- 

 cial and will result in much good to those who are trying to raise fruit. The 

 trouble is there are some who do not take any interest. — J. L. Wright, Ellen- 

 horo, N. C, March 27, 1907. 



Sampson. — Our records show two cases for this county, one at 

 Kerr and the other at Delway. In both instances the Lime-sulphur 

 Wash is being successfully used. 



According to advice sent out from your office, I have used the Lime-sulphur 

 Wash on my trees. I found that it almost exterminated the San .Jose Scale. 

 I am depending on it. I used it two years ago — some of my trees had died 

 from the scale — since then I have seen very little sign. Your letters, circulars, 

 etc., have been a decided advantage. They are a means of education that our 

 people especially need. — J. M. Alderman, Wallace {formerly Delway), N. C, 

 April 6, 1907. 



I have had very good success with the San Jose Scale. I depend on the 

 Lime-sulphur Wash. Your directions and information have been of real 

 service to me.— M. G. Bland, Kerr, JSl. C, April 6, 1907. 



Scotlnnd. — One case, at Fontcol, is all that we have recorded, 

 and we have had no recent report from it. 



Stanly. — One case is known at Dowd, Avhere it is being kept in 

 control. 



I have sprayed three years with the Lime-sulphur Wash with good results. 

 I think I have them (scales) under control. I have 116 trees and sprouts. 

 I can't say that all are infested, but I spray them just the same, as it keeps 

 the trees healthy and green.— Jasper Bell, R. F. D. No. 2, Albemarle (formerly 

 Doted), N. C, March 28, 1907. 



Stokes. — A case each at Dillard and at King are on record for 

 this coimty, and we have no very recent report as to conditions at 

 either place. 



Surry. — This county, which is one of the leaders in the produc- 

 tion of apples, is also one of the worst-infested counties in the State, 

 yet there is much successful activity among the growers in keeping 

 it in check. It is kno"s\Ti that there are many more cases of scale in 

 this county than our meagre records show. We have listed : Five 

 cases at White Plains, two at Bridge, two at Mount Airy and 

 vicinity, and one case each at Elkin, Pilot Mountain, and Stateroad. 

 The following quotations from the owners* of infested orchards show 

 clearly that excellent and satisfactory progress is being made. 



I tried Lime-sulphur Wash on my orchard last year and it did the trees a 

 lot of good, and I saved a pear tree that was almost dead. I am trying it again 

 this year.—-/. S. Griffith. Bridge, N. C, March 27, 1907.
