scale were doing well at Pottersville, in Somerset coanty. Not until 

 August 29tli is there another record, and then at Rowland's Mills, 

 Hunterdon county, the "San Jose scale is doing great injury to the 

 apple trees in this vicinity." September 5th, "San Jose scale preva- 

 lent" is reported from Merchantville, in Camden county, and in the last 

 bulletin of the season, September 13th, San Jose scale was increasing 

 at Sussex, in Sussex county; and from Basking Ridge, in Somerset 

 county, we learn of nmny apple trees killed, while peach trees in the 

 vicinity of Mine Brook had been kept in good condition by spraying. 

 Cut-worms were first referred to in the bulletin for May 16th, from 

 Woodbury, Gloucester county, and May 23d had become quite numer- 

 ous and destructive to corn and lima beans. Records also came from 

 Flemington, Hunterdon county ; Bridgeton, Cumberland county : 

 Beverly and Moorestown, Burlington county, and Mickleton and 

 Woodbury, Gloucester county. Even more numerous and from a greater 

 range were the complaints on May 30th — cabbage, tomatoes and other 

 vegetables being added to the crops injured. Specifically, reports came 

 from Paterson and Charlotteburg, Passaic county; Delaware and 

 Phillipsburg, Warren county; Moorestown, Burlington county; Ber- 

 lin, Camden county; Bridgeton, Cumberland county; Woodstown, 

 Salem county; Cassville and Toms River, Ocean county, and Dias 

 Creek, Cape May county. June 6th the records had somewhat de- 

 creased in numl>er and were chiefly from the more northern sections — 

 Sussex and Fredon, Sussex county; Warrenville, Somerset county: 

 Three Bridges, Hunterdon county; Imlaystown, Monmouth county, 

 and Berlin, Camden county. June 13th was almost a repetition of the 

 previous week, but cornfields especially seem to have sufEered ; New- 

 ton, Sussex county, reports entire fields destroyed, while Sussex and 

 Layton, in the same county, make similar statements. Pittstown, 

 Hunterdon county ; Kingston, Somerset county, and Hazlet, Mon- 

 mouth county, represent complaints from the central section, while 

 Berlin, Camden county, is the only one of the southern section that 

 reports them still numerous. June 20th the worms were yet very 

 destructive to corn at Fredon, Sussex county, and that was the only 

 report for that date. June 27th, Rowland's Mills, Hunterdon county, 

 reports corn a very uneven stand, due to cut-worm injury. July 5th, 

 a belated report from Moorestown, Bnrlington county, represents "cut- 

 worms unusually destructive," and the last report is under date of 

 August 1st, from Charlotteburg, Passaic county, stating that "cut- 

 worms injured cabbage early in the season."
