Wilkes?— One case at Roaring Gap is all we have recorded, but 

 according to that party the entire community is infested. 



I have lost all of my young orchard and have grubbed the trees up and 

 burned them. The orchard was too far spent before I knew what was the 

 trouble. This entire community is infested. I do not know a single orchard 

 but what has the scale.— ^. C. PliUUps, Roaring Gap, N. C, April 1, 1907. 



Wilson. — One case is known in the city of Wilson, which has been 

 treated irregularly with the Lime-sulphur Wash. The owner is a 

 merchant and cannot look closely after the orchard. 



I have used the Lime-sulphur Wash some and find that it does the work all 

 right, but requires more time and patience than I have, and it rusts and clogs 

 the pump a great deal.— G. D. Green, Wilson, N. C, March 26, 1907. 



Yadkin. — Four cases are known in this county^ two of such recent 

 discovery that there has been no chance to work against it. One 

 case is on R. F. T>. No. 1, Marler, while the others are on routes out 

 from Yadkinville. The letter quoted below shows a common experi- 

 ence of neglect repented for afterwards. 



My trees are still considerably infested. Sprayed most of my trees in early 

 spring of 1906 with Lime-sulphur and it did a great deal of good where applied 

 thoroughly. I had such a poor crop of fruit last year I did not spray this 

 spring, but I regret it very much now as several of my peach trees are in full 

 bloom, and I fear the scale will kill them before the end of the season.—
