SUMMAKY OF DISTRIBUTION AND PRESENT CONDITION. 27 



to an extent that it is seriously destructive. The records of infes- 

 tation show the occurrence of this insect in New Hampshire in the 

 eastern part of Manchester, in Dover Point, and Intervale, and in 

 nurseries at Dover, Epping, and Seabrook; also in trees from these 

 nurseries at Rollinsford, Lee, and Durham. Mr. E. D. Sanderson, 

 the present entomologist of the State experiment station, adds two 

 additional localities, one in Newington and the other at North Dan- 

 ville. Mr. Sanderson reports that no orchard inspections have been 

 made, and that as practically all of the nursery stock comes originally 

 from outside of the State, many^ of the 3^ounger orchards are probably 

 infested. 



NEW JERSEY. 



New Jersey, responsible for much of the original distribution of 

 the San Jose scale in the East, early became generally infested, as 

 recorded in Bulletins 3 and 12. Dr. J. B. Smith, State entomologist, 

 reports that this scale now occurs thruout the State and probably in 

 90 per cent of the orchards. In a general way, he says, those dis- 

 tricts that are longest infested are in a better condition than those 

 that have become more recently infested, because growers in the first 

 instance have learned how to deal with the insect to the best advantage. 



NEVADA. 



The occurrence of the San Jose scale in Nevada is noted in ^Bulletin 

 12 in gardens in the city of Reno. We have records also from Carson 

 City dating from 1903 and 1904. Prof. J. E. Stubbs, director of the 

 State experiment station, writes that the insect is fairly under control 

 in the State. In 1904, he says, and prior to that time, its ravages in 

 three or four counties were considerable, and farmers complained that 

 they were losing their fruit on account of it. At the session of the 

 legislature held in 1903 a law was past giving authority to the sev- 

 eral counties to appoint an inspector of trees, especiaifly fruit trees. 

 In Washoe, Ormsby, Humboldt, Elko, and Lincoln counties these 

 inspectors are said to have done pretty good work and to have 

 checked the scale by spraying; especially was this true in the counties 

 of Washoe and Ormsby. 



NEW MEXICO. 



The distribution of the San Jose scale in New Mexico has probably 

 changed very little since the publication of Bulletins 3 and 12, and no 

 late records have been received from this Territory. 



NEW YORK. 



The presence of the scale in New York was determined in August, 

 1894, and the earh^ records are noted in Bulletins 3 and 12. The 

 present condition of this scale insect in New York has been reported to
