10 FUMIGATION OF APPLES FOR SAN JOSE SCALE. 
with the scale to insure its destruction as completely as possible by 
spraying, not only to preserve the life of the trees, but to prevent the 
marking of the fruit. 
In cases of light infestation the intrinsic value of the fruit is but 
little affected, although the reddish spots or circles disfigure it for 
market purposes, and its keeping qualities are perhaps reduced. 
Despite care in packing and grading in infested orchards, a certain 
amount of scaly fruit will usually find its way into the barrels or boxes, 
and thus be distributed. In this connection is presented a table 
(Table I), compiled from the reports? of Dr. C. Brick, chief inspector 
in the Station fiir Pflanzenschutz, at Hamburg, on the condition of 
American apples received at that port during the years from 1888-9 
to 1906-7, inclusive, consideréd merely as to infestation by the San 
Jose scale, although report is made upon numerous other species of © 
scale insects and certain fungous diseases found present.
