Inspection of Private Premises: — iSince the agricultural people of 

 this State have learned that we have inspectors who can really in- 

 spect and give help, and that the work of this office is practical and 

 serviceable, we are having many calls for inspections of private 

 premises. 



The only way to do this work is to follow, systematically, town- 

 ship after township, through each county in this State. To pro- 

 vide for this an appropriation of thirty thousand dollars per year 

 was made by the last Legislature. Men were trained for the in- 

 spection and demonstration work, and were sent into the field to 

 give the service that was needed and is being demanded. The 

 following is a list of the inspectors and demonstrators that have 

 been on our force during some period of the past year: 



Mr. A. T. Baird, J. W. Battleyon, James Bergy, P. K. Boltz, E. 

 C. Bowers, J. S. Briggs, W. H. BrinkerhofP, J. W. Cox, J. R. Davis, H. 

 H. Duttou, Benjamin Evans, Hugh Fergus, James Fergus, 

 A. O. Finn, T. C. Foster, Dr. J. H. Funk, F. Z. Hartzell, 



C. A. Heiss, J. D. Herr, 0. C. Hess, James Hippie, D., 

 G. Kautlman, R. F. Lee, A. B. Lehman, E. L. Loux, 



D. K. McMillan, C. F. Noll, J. K. Owen, W. B. Packard, W. E. Per- 

 ham, M. E. Shav, H. F. Shugars, M. H. Suavely, A. W. Stephens, G. 

 P. Stevens, W. G. Winner and ^y. H. Wolff. 



It has not been possible to inspect in all the counties of this 

 State, owing to the fact that enough men to do the work and suf- 

 ficient funds to put a man into each county are not available, but 

 inspections have been made and demonstrations given in most 

 counties where the scale is found, as follows: 



Inspection and Demonstration, 



Adams, Allegheny, Armstrong, Beaver, Bedford, Berks, Blair, 

 Bradford, Bucks, Cambria, Carbon, Centre, Chester, Clearfield, Clin- 

 ton, Columbia, Crawford, Cumberland, Dauphin, Delaware, Erie, 

 Fayette, Forest, Franklin, Fulton, Huntingdon, Indiana, Juniata, 

 LackaAvanna, Lancaster, Lebanon, Lehigh, Lycoming, Mercer, Mif- 

 fiin, Monroe, Montgomery, Montour, Northampton, Northumberland, 

 Perry, Philadelphia, Schuylkill, Snyder, Sullivan, Susquehanna, Un- 

 ion, Washington, Westmoreland, Wyoming and York. 



Inspections made but no demonstrations held. 



Butler, Clarion, Elk, Greene, Jefferson, Lawrence, Luzerne, Pike, 

 Somerset, Tioga, Venango, Warren and Wayne. 



That this work has been highly valuable in helping to save the 

 crops, especially in the orchards of this State, there is no doubt.
