The Bulletin. 17 



I think I have saved my orchard tlirouRh your instruftion ; hare used the 

 Lime-sulphur for three years; this year could not find any scale on hut one tree, 

 but I sprayed the whole orchard. I have my trees in nice shape. — ./. S. Smith, 

 R. F. D. No. 1, White Plains, N. C. {formerly Bridge), March 27, 1907. 



I have 100 pear, 300 peach and 300 apple trees. I use the Lime-sulphur 

 Wash. My pear ti-ees are all right, have saved all of them, but I lost a few 

 apple and'about 100 peach before I knew what was the matter. I think now 

 I can save the balance of my trees. — C. L. Robertson, Wliite Plains, N. C, 

 March 29, 1907. 



My orchard was badly infested two years with the scale, and I wrote you for 

 instructions and have the scale under good control. I have not lost a tree 

 since I commenced using the Lime-sulphur Wash. — J. A. Blue, White Plains, 

 N. C, March 28, 1907. 



San Jose Scale is the big trouble. A few of us are using the Lime-sulphur ; 

 it has checked it to a great extent. We are trying to get others to save their 

 orchards.— Jacob Jackson, White Plains, N. C, March 27, 1907. 



Wake. — Here in Ealeigh many trees in the city lots are infested, 

 our records, however, only showing eleven out of what is certainly a 

 much larger number. In several cases the Lime-sulphur Wash is 

 being used with good results, and oil preparations have also been 

 used. The scale is also known in orchards in three other places in the 

 county, at McCullers, Gamer, and Wake Forest, this last case being 

 only recently discovered. 



Warren. — One case is known at Eidgeway and another at Warren- 

 ton. It is reported, but not confirmed, that other orchards at Ridge- 

 way are infested. 



Can sincerely say the instructions from your office have done me much good. 

 My peach trees were so thoroughly infested that the tops of several perished. 

 Cut them back almost to a stump and sprayed carefully with the Lime-sulphur 

 Wash; now I can find no scale in my garden, and the trees cut back have 

 re-grown a beautiful top of vigorous, healthy wood now well loaded with fruit 

 buds.— 2V^aL Allen, Superintendent County Schools, Ridgeway, N. C, March 

 29, 1907. 



Watauga. — At Mabel one young tree in a newly-set orchard was 

 found to be infested and was immediately destroyed, no evidence of 

 the pest having been found since. At Blowing Rock one small tree 

 was found infested in a small home orchard, and the pest has also 

 been found at several places in the 33,000-tree orchard of Mr. Moses 

 Cone, where it is being kept under rigid control by careful spraying 

 with the Lime-sulphur Wash, supplemented by the prompt destruc- 

 tion of any trees found to be badly enough infested to be in anywise a 

 menace to others near by. 



Wayne. — Five cases of scale are known in or near Goldsboro. 

 Aside from the case recited below we know that in one other instance 

 ' the scale has been nearly exterminated by using Lime-sulphur Wash. 

 No recent report from the others. 



I have used the Lime-sulphur Wash with unvarying success, and have found 

 it effective when properly made and applied. — J. K. Bryan, Steward State 

 Hospital, Goldsboro, N. C, April 6, 1907.
