 doing well, and was free from scale, and on October 20th condi- 

 tions had not changed. 



Tree 46 — Japanese Chestnut. August 8th, there was a small 

 crop of nuts and no scales, but the foliage seemed a little dry, and 

 was too light in color. October 20th, the injury to foliage was seen 

 to be due to red spider, which had been very bad on this tree, suck- 

 ing the life out of the leaves and causing them to dry and fall.

 looking well and free from scale. October 20th, conditions were 

 no worse.

Mr. Dickerson's comment on ()ct()l)er 20tli is that "the orchard 

 has remained in good condition, on the whole, all summer, and, 

 with the exception of the Vermont Beauty Pears, very free from 

 scale." 



The lack of attention and spraying with the arsenites favored 

 the development of slugs, web-worms, codling moths and cureulios, 

 while the red spider could have been kept in check with an oil 

 emulsion or one of the sulphur sprays.
