﻿solution, 
  and 
  others 
  adjacent 
  were 
  partly 
  sprayed. 
  On 
  Mrs. 
  Connor's 
  

   place 
  one 
  tree 
  was 
  dug 
  out 
  and 
  seventeen 
  trees 
  were 
  sprayed. 
  Septem- 
  

   ber 
  2 
  1, 
  1898, 
  Grisso's 
  place 
  was 
  found 
  in 
  rather 
  bad 
  condition. 
  On 
  

   three 
  of 
  the 
  trees 
  sprayed 
  in 
  February 
  from 
  three 
  to 
  eight 
  living 
  scales 
  

   were 
  detected 
  by 
  Mr. 
  Green; 
  on 
  two 
  adjacent 
  trees 
  not 
  sprayed 
  the 
  

   San 
  Jose 
  scale 
  was 
  found, 
  the 
  trunk 
  of 
  one 
  being 
  covered 
  and 
  its 
  upper 
  

   branches 
  infested; 
  and 
  on 
  another 
  part 
  of 
  the 
  place, 
  a 
  hundred 
  rods 
  

   from 
  the 
  infested 
  trees 
  above 
  mentioned, 
  three 
  trees 
  were 
  found 
  badly 
  

   incrusted 
  with 
  the 
  scale, 
  one 
  an 
  apple, 
  one 
  a 
  plum, 
  and 
  one 
  a 
  flowering 
  

   quince. 
  It 
  is 
  probable 
  that 
  the 
  scale 
  is 
  generally 
  distributed 
  on 
  Mr. 
  

   Grisso's 
  place, 
  and 
  that 
  only 
  a 
  thorough 
  insecticide 
  treatment 
  of 
  the 
  

   whole 
  of 
  it 
  can 
  check 
  its 
  spread 
  effectively. 
  On 
  the 
  village 
  lot 
  of 
  Mrs. 
  

   Connor 
  no 
  scale 
  was 
  found 
  at 
  this 
  time. 
  

  

  At 
  Herrick, 
  in 
  Shelby 
  county, 
  it 
  was 
  found 
  that 
  the 
  owner 
  had 
  

   removed 
  the 
  infested 
  trees 
  in 
  August, 
  1898, 
  and 
  burned 
  them 
  up. 
  A 
  

   very 
  careful 
  examination 
  of 
  eight 
  others, 
  planted 
  near 
  them 
  and 
  sepa- 
  

   rate 
  from 
  the 
  main 
  orchard 
  of 
  the 
  owner, 
  was 
  made 
  by 
  Professor 
  Sum- 
  

   mers 
  February 
  12, 
  1898, 
  but 
  no 
  trace 
  of 
  San 
  Jose 
  scale 
  could 
  be 
  found 
  

   upon 
  them. 
  

  

  Spraying 
  at 
  Ernst, 
  January 
  18 
  to 
  24, 
  1898, 
  was 
  attended 
  by 
  unusual 
  

   difificulties 
  and 
  much 
  delay 
  owing 
  to 
  unfavorable 
  weather, 
  frequent 
  rains 
  

   probably 
  washing 
  off 
  much 
  of 
  the 
  soap. 
  Work 
  began 
  January 
  i8th 
  and 
  

   continued 
  through 
  the 
  forenoon 
  of 
  the 
  19th, 
  but 
  was 
  then 
  interrupted 
  by 
  

   rain 
  which 
  lasted 
  all 
  the 
  afternoon 
  and 
  into 
  the 
  night. 
  The 
  20th 
  was 
  too 
  

   windy 
  for 
  orchard 
  work, 
  but 
  spraying 
  began 
  again 
  on 
  the 
  21st 
  and 
  was 
  

   followed 
  by 
  rain 
  — 
  in 
  part 
  violent 
  showers 
  — 
  nearly 
  all 
  the 
  22d. 
  On 
  the 
  

   afternoon 
  of 
  the 
  24th 
  spraying 
  began 
  again, 
  but 
  was 
  followed 
  at 
  night 
  

   and 
  in 
  the 
  morning 
  by 
  several 
  hard 
  showers. 
  One 
  hundred 
  and 
  sixty- 
  

   four 
  trees 
  were 
  sprayed 
  in 
  all, 
  ranging 
  from 
  yearlings 
  to 
  trees 
  fifteen 
  

   feet 
  high; 
  and, 
  besides 
  these, 
  rose-bushes, 
  currants, 
  gooseberries, 
  honey- 
  

   suckles, 
  etc. 
  

  

  Notwithstanding 
  this 
  unusual 
  exposure 
  to 
  rains, 
  Mr. 
  Green 
  could 
  

   find 
  March 
  24th 
  only 
  nine 
  living 
  scales 
  on 
  these 
  premises, 
  six 
  under 
  a 
  

   bit 
  of 
  bark 
  upon 
  a 
  pear-tree 
  and 
  three 
  on 
  a 
  currant 
  bush. 
  A 
  great 
  

   part 
  of 
  the 
  premises 
  was, 
  however, 
  sprayed 
  again, 
  seventy-two 
  bushes 
  

   and 
  trees 
  being 
  included 
  in 
  the 
  treatment. 
  Only 
  about 
  four 
  hours' 
  work 
  

   was 
  needed, 
  but 
  it 
  took 
  six 
  days 
  to 
  do 
  it 
  on 
  account 
  of 
  daily 
  rains. 
  

   October 
  12, 
  1898, 
  Mr. 
  R. 
  W. 
  Braucher 
  carefully 
  inspected 
  everything 
  

   on 
  these 
  premises 
  and 
  could 
  not 
  find 
  living 
  San 
  Jose 
  scale 
  upon 
  any 
  

   shrub 
  or 
  tree. 
  He 
  also 
  observed 
  that 
  the 
  whale-oil 
  soap 
  had 
  generally 
  

   destroyed 
  the 
  Forbes 
  scale 
  {Aspidiotus 
  forbesi), 
  but 
  that 
  the 
  scurfy 
  scale 
  

   {Chionaspis 
  furfiiriis) 
  was 
  but 
  little 
  affected 
  by 
  the 
  winter 
  application 
  of
