  These 
  trees 
  were 
  bought 
  in 
  1893 
  of 
  a 
  traveling 
  agent 
  for 
  the 
  nursery 
  of 
  

   John 
  Slebenthaler, 
  at 
  Dayton, 
  Ohio. 
  

  

  At 
  Browns, 
  the 
  scale 
  occurs 
  on 
  peach, 
  plum, 
  and 
  pear, 
  a 
  fact 
  ascer- 
  

   tained 
  by 
  Professor 
  T. 
  J. 
  Burrill 
  while 
  attending 
  a 
  Farmers' 
  Institute 
  at 
  

   Albion, 
  and 
  verified 
  by 
  him 
  and 
  Dr. 
  Schneck 
  by 
  the 
  examination 
  of 
  

   several 
  infested 
  twigs. 
  

  

  . 
  At 
  Worden, 
  the 
  scale 
  was 
  found 
  September 
  23, 
  1898, 
  by 
  Mr. 
  Green 
  

   in 
  a 
  farm 
  orchard 
  belonging 
  to 
  Mr. 
  C. 
  C. 
  Hoxey, 
  living 
  in 
  the 
  outskirts 
  

   of 
  the 
  town. 
  It 
  was 
  evidently 
  conveyed 
  to 
  this 
  orchard 
  by 
  means 
  of 
  a 
  

   plum-tree 
  and 
  several 
  June-berry 
  trees 
  (^Ainelancliier') 
  from 
  the 
  farm 
  of 
  

   Mr. 
  C. 
  S. 
  Frame, 
  near 
  Alhambra, 
  reported 
  above. 
  In 
  Mr. 
  Hoxey's 
  

   orchard 
  the 
  scale 
  was 
  very 
  generally 
  distributed 
  through 
  some 
  two 
  hun- 
  

   dred 
  fruit 
  trees 
  of 
  various 
  kinds, 
  some 
  but 
  slightly 
  infested 
  and 
  others 
  

   badly 
  incrusted. 
  

  

  Increased 
  Area 
  Infested 
  in 
  Old 
  Situations. 
  

  

  At 
  Monroe 
  Center, 
  in 
  Ogle 
  county, 
  where 
  only 
  a 
  single 
  infested 
  

   tree 
  had 
  been 
  found 
  the 
  year 
  before, 
  as 
  stated 
  on 
  page 
  eight 
  of 
  the 
  

   Twentieth 
  Entomological 
  Report, 
  Mr. 
  Braucher 
  found 
  November 
  18, 
  

   1897, 
  a 
  pear-tree, 
  some 
  scattered 
  pear 
  sprouts, 
  and 
  two 
  Rocky 
  Mountain 
  

   cherry-trees 
  slightly 
  infested 
  with 
  the 
  scale. 
  

  

  On 
  Mr. 
  Jacob 
  Winzeler's 
  place, 
  near 
  Tremont, 
  in 
  Tazewell 
  county, 
  

   where 
  only 
  half 
  a 
  dozen 
  trees 
  (Japanese 
  pears) 
  had 
  been 
  previously 
  

   found 
  infested, 
  it 
  appeared 
  by 
  an 
  inspection 
  made 
  December 
  2, 
  1897, 
  

   that 
  the 
  San 
  Jose 
  scale 
  was 
  obscurely 
  present 
  in 
  different 
  parts 
  of 
  the 
  

   orchard 
  on 
  plum 
  and 
  peach, 
  some 
  of 
  the 
  latter 
  from 
  fifty 
  to 
  seventy-five 
  

   feet 
  distant 
  from 
  the 
  pear-trees 
  worst 
  infested. 
  

  

  At 
  Tower 
  Hill 
  about 
  eighteen 
  infested 
  cherry-trees 
  were 
  found 
  on 
  

   the 
  premises 
  of 
  Mrs. 
  J. 
  Connor, 
  living 
  near 
  the 
  village. 
  The 
  origin 
  of 
  

   this 
  colony 
  could 
  not 
  be 
  ascertained. 
  The 
  infested 
  premises 
  of 
  Mr. 
  

   Grisso, 
  mentioned 
  in 
  my 
  last 
  Report, 
  were 
  at 
  a 
  distance 
  of 
  three 
  miles 
  

   from 
  the 
  town. 
  Careful 
  inspection 
  of 
  the 
  latter 
  place, 
  made 
  by 
  both 
  

   Mr. 
  Green 
  and 
  Professor 
  Summers, 
  covering 
  all 
  trees 
  in 
  the 
  vicinity 
  of 
  

   those 
  originally 
  infested, 
  resulted 
  in 
  the 
  detection 
  of 
  no 
  dispersal 
  of 
  the 
  

   scale 
  except 
  to 
  one 
  tree, 
  at 
  some 
  distance, 
  which 
  had 
  been 
  grafted 
  with 
  

   a 
  scion 
  from 
  one 
  of 
  the 
  infested 
  trees. 
  This 
  was 
  said 
  to 
  be 
  the 
  only 
  

   scion 
  that 
  had 
  been 
  cut 
  from 
  these 
  trees 
  originally 
  infested 
  by 
  the 
  San 
  

   Jose 
  scale. 
  

  

  Conditions 
  at 
  Ernst, 
  as 
  reported 
  by 
  Mr. 
  Braucher 
  January 
  17, 
  1898, 
  

   were 
  particularly 
  instructive. 
  As 
  stated 
  in 
  my 
  article 
  for 
  1896 
  (see 
  

   Twentieth 
  Report, 
  page 
  9), 
  only 
  one 
  infested 
  tree 
  had 
  been 
  originally 
  

   reported 
  from 
  this 
  place, 
  and 
  this 
  had 
  been 
  at 
  once 
  thoroughly 
  destroyed.
