30 THE SAX JOSE OR CHINESE SCALE. 
counties of the State, nor in some of the counties northwest of the 
center of the State, such as Cameron. Elk, Forest, McKean, and 
Warren. 
RHODE ISLAND. 
No records from Rhode Island had been received up to the time of 
the publication of Bulletin 12. in 1898, but Mr. A. E. Stene, of the 
College of Agriculture 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 years 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 entomologist, and no 
work of inspection had been done. The records which have come 
to this office from South Carolina now number 10, and represent 7 
different 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 yet been reported from South Dakota. Mr. 
W. 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 nurseiw. It has been introduced with 
stock received by the college from other States, but has alwa\ T s been 
speedily disposed of when received, and so far is not known to infest 
an} T 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 by the material which has been sent to the 
Department. 
A recent letter from Mr. (i. M. Bentley. assistant entomologist, 
gives the information that no complete survey of the State has been
