  was 
  found 
  by 
  Professor 
  Summers 
  very 
  generally 
  infested, 
  together 
  with 
  

   a 
  hedge 
  adjoining. 
  This 
  whole 
  orchard 
  and 
  two 
  rows 
  of 
  another 
  

   orchard 
  adjacent 
  to 
  it, 
  not 
  infested, 
  were 
  thoroughly 
  sprayed 
  by 
  Pro- 
  

   fessor 
  Summers 
  the 
  first 
  week 
  in 
  January, 
  1898. 
  The 
  infested 
  hedge 
  

   was 
  not 
  treated, 
  as 
  the 
  owner 
  promised 
  to 
  destroy 
  it. 
  September 
  17, 
  

   1S98, 
  it 
  was 
  found 
  by 
  Mr. 
  Green 
  that 
  this 
  orchard 
  was 
  by 
  no 
  means 
  

   free 
  from 
  the 
  scale, 
  a 
  considerable 
  number 
  of 
  trees 
  — 
  apple, 
  pear, 
  peach, 
  

   and 
  plum 
  — 
  still 
  showing 
  from 
  one 
  to 
  a 
  dozen, 
  twenty, 
  or 
  more, 
  living 
  

   scales. 
  A 
  few 
  scales 
  were 
  also 
  found 
  upon 
  apricot 
  trees 
  in 
  an 
  old 
  

   orchard 
  near 
  by 
  which 
  was 
  not 
  treated 
  by 
  Professor 
  Summers. 
  The 
  

   situation 
  at 
  this 
  place 
  was 
  on 
  the 
  whole 
  quite 
  unsatisfactory, 
  and 
  the 
  

   premises 
  will 
  doubtless 
  become 
  thoroughly 
  infested 
  again 
  within 
  the 
  

   course 
  of 
  two 
  or 
  three 
  years 
  unless 
  additional 
  measures 
  are 
  taken 
  for 
  

   the 
  destruction 
  of 
  the 
  scale. 
  The 
  infested 
  hedge 
  mentioned 
  above 
  had 
  

   been 
  twice 
  cut 
  down, 
  but 
  had 
  not 
  been 
  killed. 
  

  

  The 
  infested 
  trees 
  on 
  Mr. 
  Henry 
  Archer's 
  place, 
  two 
  miles 
  from 
  

   New 
  City, 
  in 
  Sangamon 
  county, 
  were 
  scattered 
  through 
  the 
  western 
  end 
  

   of 
  an 
  orchard 
  of 
  about 
  five 
  acres. 
  These 
  we're 
  mostly 
  young, 
  but 
  a 
  few 
  

   of 
  them 
  were 
  large 
  peach-trees, 
  and 
  others 
  were 
  of 
  various 
  sizes 
  inter- 
  

   mediate. 
  All 
  the 
  very 
  badly 
  infested 
  trees 
  were, 
  however, 
  very 
  small, 
  

   and 
  the 
  scale 
  had 
  apparently 
  spread 
  but 
  a 
  short 
  distance 
  from 
  them. 
  

   About 
  sixty 
  trees 
  were 
  sprayed 
  in 
  this 
  orchard 
  in 
  January, 
  1898, 
  includ- 
  

   ing, 
  of 
  course, 
  all 
  those 
  visibly 
  infested 
  but 
  going 
  some 
  distance 
  beyond 
  

   them. 
  September 
  18, 
  1898, 
  about 
  seventy 
  trees 
  were 
  found 
  still 
  infested 
  

   with 
  the 
  scale, 
  commonly 
  not 
  more 
  than 
  from 
  ten 
  to 
  twenty 
  specimens 
  

   on 
  a 
  tree. 
  It 
  was 
  also 
  found 
  in 
  an 
  old 
  orchard 
  adjoining 
  the 
  one 
  prin- 
  

   cipally 
  infested 
  and 
  which 
  had 
  not 
  been 
  sprayed 
  by 
  Professor 
  Summers 
  

   in 
  January. 
  

  

  At 
  Assumption, 
  in 
  Christian 
  county, 
  the 
  entire 
  small 
  orchard 
  be- 
  

   longing 
  to 
  Mr. 
  Tobias 
  on 
  a 
  city 
  lot 
  on 
  which 
  a 
  single 
  infested 
  tree 
  had 
  

   been 
  found, 
  was 
  sprayed 
  February 
  12, 
  1898, 
  by 
  Mr. 
  Green, 
  and 
  the 
  

   pear-tree 
  on 
  which 
  the 
  scale 
  had 
  been 
  brought 
  to 
  these 
  premises 
  was 
  

   dug 
  out 
  and 
  burned. 
  This 
  tree 
  was 
  one 
  of 
  six 
  obtained 
  by 
  mail 
  from 
  

   a 
  Philadelphia 
  dealer. 
  The 
  remaining 
  five 
  were 
  found 
  in 
  the 
  hands 
  of 
  

   other 
  citizens, 
  all 
  free 
  from 
  the 
  scale 
  except 
  one 
  belonging 
  to 
  Mr. 
  Hiram 
  

   Hooten, 
  which 
  bore 
  a 
  few 
  specimens 
  sufficiently 
  like 
  the 
  San 
  Jose 
  scale 
  

   to 
  give 
  ground 
  for 
  suspicion. 
  This 
  tree 
  was 
  thoroughly 
  sprayed 
  by 
  

   Mr. 
  Green. 
  September 
  20, 
  1898, 
  on 
  a 
  single 
  tree 
  (a 
  quince) 
  Mr. 
  Green 
  

   found 
  one 
  San 
  Jose 
  scale; 
  otherwise 
  the 
  trees 
  on 
  Mr. 
  Tobias's 
  lot 
  

   seemed 
  free 
  from 
  the 
  scale. 
  

  

  At 
  Tower 
  Hill 
  early 
  in 
  February, 
  189S, 
  two 
  trees 
  on 
  Mr. 
  Grisso'a 
  

   place 
  were 
  cut 
  out 
  and 
  burned, 
  six 
  were 
  thoroughly 
  sprayed 
  with 
  soap
