hundred and sixty-one trees too large to fumig-ate were sprayed 

 with twenty per cent, kerosene emulsion January 23-26. February 

 9, three rods of hedge infested by the scale were removed and des- 

 troyed. This place was inspected February 28 and March 14, 1902, 

 at which time some of the trees in that part of the orchard which 

 had been fumigated were again badly infested, as well as a consid- 

 erable length of the Osage orange hedge. On the large trees 

 which had been sprayed with kerosene, on the other hand, only a 

 few scales could be found. 



No. 7. In a small orchard on a town lot belonging to William 

 Edwards forty-one trees were fumigated January 17, including sev- 

 eral reported as infested. March 1, 1902, the scale could be found 

 only on a single tree. 



No. 8. In a small infested orchard belonging to Thomas Hoke 

 forty-six badly infested trees were fumigated January 10 to 20, and 

 fifteen were destroyed as worthless. March 1, 1902, thirty- five of 

 the trees were re-examined, and thirty-two of them were generally 

 infested by the scale to an extent to require another treatment 

 writhout delay. 



No. 9. January 27 one hundred and seventy-two peach- and 

 apple-trees were fumigated in an infested orchard belonging to 

 Mrs. E. A. Glenn, and eleven trees were sprayed with 20 per cent, 

 kerosene emulsion. According to a report of an inspection of 

 eighty-eight of the fumigated trees made February 28 and March 

 1, 1902, thirty-two of these were again infested to an extent to re-

 which the scale had not been found. 



No. 10. On J. Bennett's place fifteen trees were fumigated 

 January 17, and on February 2 one large apple-tree was sprayed 

 with kerosene emulsion. March 1, 1902, two small trees slightly 

 infested furnished the only remaining traces of the scale. 



No. 11. One hundred and thirteen trees were fumigated Jan-

 and February 2, sixty-seven trees additional were sprayed with a 

 twenty per cent, emulsion of kerosene. March 1, 1902, twenty-nine 

 of these orchard trees were found infested, and also a few peach 

 sprouts along one side of the place. 



No. 12. The pear and apple orchards of J. W. Stanton were 

 somewhat infested at this time, although they had been extensive- 

 ly treated with insecticide sprays since the first discovery of the 

 scale on his premises three years before. Seven hundred and sev-
