REPORT OF THE STATE ENTOMOLOGIST 1901 We? 
bose; trees 11, 56 and 57 are seckel; tree 50, an Idaho, and tree 
96 a beurre d’Anjou pear. Tree 48 is a crab apple. The con- 
dition of these trees near the ciose of the growing season, Sep. 7,. 
1900, was as follows. There were very few or no living scale 
insects on trees 5, 6, 29, 48, 49, 55 and 56, very few on trees 75 
and 97, few on trees 7, 30 and 96; they were very abundant on: 
trees 3 and 50 to 53, and extremely abundant on trees 8 to 11. 
May 22, tree 5 was just beginning to bloom, though it had been 
partly uprooted by the wind. Trees 9 and 10 had set consider-. 
able fruit. Trees 52 and 53 were winterkilled to some extent, 
and the same was true of tree 92. Trees 98 and 94 had died from 
the applications of the previous year, and had been removed. 
July 6, there were very few or no young seale insects on trees. 
4a, 7, Ta, 11, 29, 30, 48, 55, 75, 96 and 97, few on trees 51 and 563. 
they were rather abundant on trees 4, 9, 10, 52, 53, 92 and 95, and 
very abundant on trees 8 and 50. There was considerable dead 
wood on trees 52, 53 and 92, and the bark was rather rough, 
affording admirable shelters for scale insects. Tree 8 was very 
badly infested in the spring, and the bark was quite rough. The 
same was practically true of tree 10. Tree 4 had been attacked 
by Scolytus rugulosus Ratz., and the sap was exuding: 
copiously. 
Aug. 9, there were very few or no living young scale insects on: 
trees 6, 7, 29, 30, 48, 55, 56, 96 and 97, few on trees 4, 4a, 7a and 9,. 
trees 8, 49, 51, 52,53 and 92, abundant on tree 95, and very abun- 
dant on tree 50. Tree 5 had been removed, it probably dying as. 
a result of being partly uprooted. 
Sep. 25, there were few or no living scales on trees 6, 55, 56, 
96 and 97, few on trees 10, 29, 30, 48, 54,55 and 75, rather few on. 
trees 4a, 49 and 51; they were rather abundant on trees 4, 7, Ta,. 
9, 11, 52 and 95, and very abundant on trees 8 and 50. Tree 75. 
was broken down to the trunk by a heavy crop of fruit, but the: 
semiprostrate limbs showed no evidence of having been attacked 
by Scolytus rugulosus Ratz. There was a large amount 
of dead wood on tree 92, and many vigorous shoots. Scolytus. 
was working in the dead wood and also attacking the living to. 
some extent.
