SUMMARY OF DISTRIBUTION AND PRESENT CONDITION. 31 



made, but, roughly speaking, 30 per cent of the nurseries are more or 

 less infested, and in eastern Tennessee the San Jose scale is very gen- 

 erally present; but the section of the State, notably Franklin County, 

 where most of the nurseries are located, is free from the pest. The 

 extreme western part of the State, in the Memphis section, is also 

 prett}^ badly infested. No general orchard inspection of the State has 

 been made. 



TEXAS. 



Eight localities were reported for Texas in Bulletin 12. The scale 

 is now fairl}^ widely distributed in the State, the records of this office 

 numbering 19, some of these, however, representing the same district. 

 The localities cover, generally speaking, the eastern half of the State, 

 namely, the nonarid portion where fruit growing is followed to a 

 greater or less extent. Prof. A. F. Conradi, the State entomologist, 

 has records of the insect's occurrence in Bexar, Brazonia, Calhoun, 

 Cherokee, Comal, Comanche, Eastland, Erath, Galveston, Harris, 

 Harrison, Hopkins, Hunt, Valverde, Wharton, and Wood counties. 



UTAH. 



No San Jose scale was recorded for Utah in either Bulletin 3 or 12. 

 In 1899 it was sent to us for determination from both Ogden and 

 Logan. Mr. E. D. Ball, the entomologist of the State experiment 

 station, reports that he is unable to give the exact localities of the 

 occurrence of this insect, but states that it is pretty widely spread in 

 the central section of the State, doing, however, little damage. It 

 seems to be controlled by the twice-stabbed ladybird. The commer- 

 cial orchards, as a rule, are practically free. A good deal of spraying 

 has been done with the standard lime-sulfur wash. 



VERMONT. 



The occurrence of the San Jose scale in Vermont was brought to 

 our notice in 1899. Mr. William Stuart, horticulturist of the State 

 experiment station, says that it is now known to occur in only two 

 localities, namely, Charlotte, Chittenden County, and Orwell, Rutland 

 County; in both instances occurring in only one orchard. 



VIRGINIA. 



The details of the early records in Virginia are given in Bulletin 3 and 

 in Bulletin 12. A great many new records have been received from 

 Virginia and more material has come to this Bureau for determination 

 from Virginia than from any other State except Pennsylvania. Mr. 

 J. L. Phillips, State entomologist, in reply to our circular letter refers
