counties of the State, nor in some of the counties northwest of the 

 center of the State, such as Cameron, Elk, Forest, McKean, and 

 AVarren. 



RHODE ISLAND. 



Xo records from Rhode Island had been received up to the time of 

 the publication of Bulletin 12. in 1S9S. but Mr. A. E. Stene, of the 

 College of Ao-riculture and Mechanic Arts, states that the scale has 

 now spread over almost the entire State, and nearly every orchard 

 where planting has been done in the last ten 3'ears is more or less 

 infested. There are a few old orchards where no new trees have 

 recently been set that are still free from the scale. It is believed that 

 four-fifths of the orchards in the State are infested. 



SOUTH CAROLINA. 



But a single record for South Carolina had been received up to 

 the time of the publication of Bulletin 12. largely, as there indicated, 

 for the reason that there had been no State entomoloofist, and no 

 work of inspection had been done. The records which have come 

 to this office from South Carolina now number 10, and represent T 

 difierent localities distributed miscellaneously over the State. Natu- 

 rally, very few of the actual records would come to us, and the indi- 

 cations are that the State is pretty generally infested. Mr. C. E. 

 Chambliss, the entomologist of the experiment station, now reports 

 24: infested localities, all of which had the scale prior to 1900. 

 • 



SOUTH DAKOTA. 



No San Jose scale has 3'et been reported from South Dakota. Mr. 

 AY. A. Wheeler, the entomologist of the experiment station, states that 

 he has inspected nurseries of South Dakota for two years, and has not 

 found the San Jose scale in any nursery. It has been introduced with 

 stock received bv the college from other States, but has always been 

 speedily disposed of when received, and so far is not known to infest 

 any of the orchards. 



TENNESSEE. 



A single locality was recorded for the San Jose scale in the eastern 

 portion of the State in Bulletin 12. Since that time the number of 

 records for the San Jose scale which have come to this office for deter- 

 mination has increased to 14. These are distributed generally over the 

 State, and indicate rather widespread infestation, and naturally very 

 much more than is shown bv the material which has been sent to the 

 Department. 



A recent letter from ]Mr. G. M. Bentley, assistant entomologist, 

 gives the information that no complete survey of the State has been
