LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL. 



U. S. Department of Agriculture, 



Washington, D. C, January 26, 1907. 

 Sir: We have the honor to transmit herewith the manuscript of a 

 bulletin entitled "S'-'-aying for Apple Diseases and the Codling 

 Moth in the Ozarks," by W. M. Scott, of the Bureau of Plant Industry, 

 and A. L. Quaintance, of the Bureau of Entomology. We recom- 

 mend that this be published as a Farmers' Bulletin. The work was 

 conducted under the joint direction of our two Bureaus and has 

 resulted in a remarkably successful demonstration of methods of con- 

 trolling a number of the most serious fungous and insect pests affecting 

 the orchards of this important fruit region. 



The accompanying illustrations are necessary to a clear understand- 

 uv^ of the text. 



Respectfully, B. T. Gall .^ • . . 



Chief, Bureau cf Plavf Industr-
