28 THE SAX JOSE OR CHINESE SCALE. 



US b}^ Messrs. M. V. Slingerland and E. P. Felt. Mr. Slingerland gives a 

 long list of the infested localities received at the Cornell experiment sta- 

 tion, and reports that in general Long Island, the Hudson River Valle}", 

 and Niagara Count}^ seem to be the worst-infested sections. Mr. Felt's 

 records were made aft«r consultation Avith Mr. Atwood, of the State 

 department of agriculture, who has direct charge of nurser3"-inspec- 

 tion work. The following counties are reported as badly infested, 

 either because of the pest being generally distributed thruout the entire 

 count}^ or else because of its inflicting considerable damage in cer- 

 tain restricted areas: Albany, Cayuga, Chemung, Columbia, Dutchess, 

 Erie, Kings, Nassau, Niagara, Ontario, Orleans, Putnam, Queens, 

 Rensselaer, Richmond, Rockland, Sufi'olk, Wayne, Westchester, and 

 Yates. It is also known to occur in the following counties: Broome, 

 Chautauqua, Delaware, Fulton, Greene, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, 

 New York, Oneida, Orange, Schenectady, Schoharie, Schuyler,- Sen- 

 eca, Steuben, Tompkins, Ulster, and Washington. Mr. Felt reports 

 that the scale may be safel}^ said to be present in most sections where 

 fruit interests are at all extensive, tho not alwa3^s generall}^ distributed. 



NORTH CAROLINA. 



The first records of the occurrence of the San Jose scale in North 

 Carolina are given in Bulletin 12. Mr. R. S. Woglum, acting 

 entomologist of the North Carolina department of agriculture, has 

 submitted a map indicating general infestation thruout the State, 

 represented by over fifty counties, in which the number of points 

 infested range from 1 to 4:'2. These points are definitely known either 

 from personal observation or else from the receipt of specimens on 

 plants. West of the Blue Ridge Mountains the region is quite free 

 from the scale, onl}^ four infested localities being known. 



NORTH DAKOTA. 



No San Jose scale. 



OHIO. 



The earl}^ conditions in Ohio, as determined by Prof. F. M. Webster, 

 are reported in Bulletins 3 and 12. Mr. A. F. Burgess, chief State 

 inspector, gives the following summar}^ of the present conditions: 



Counties having no infested orchards 26 



Counties with 1 infested orchard locality' 27 



Counties with 2 infested orchard locahties 10 



Counties with 3 infested orchard locahties 10 



Counties with more than 3 infested orchard locahties or hav- 

 ing large infested areas or numerous small outbreaks 15 



The majorit}^ of the larger cities of the State are more or less 

 infested. 



These points of infestation cover the State pretty generally.
