28 THE SAX JOSE OR CHINESE SCALE. 
us by 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 Valley, 
and Niagara County seem to be the worst-infested sections. Mr. Felt's 
records were made after consultation with Mr. Atwood, of the State 
department of agriculture, who has direct charge of nursery-inspec- 
tion work. The following counties are reported as badly infested, 
either because of the pest being generally distributed thrnont the entire 
county^ or else because of its inflicting considerable damage in cer- 
tain restricted areas: Albany, Cayuga, Chemui%, Columbia, Dutchess. 
Erie, Kings, Nassau, Niagara, Ontario, Orleans, Putnam. Queens, 
Rensselaer, Richmond, Rockland, Suffolk, 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 safely said to be present in most sections Avhere 
fruit interests are at all extensive, tho not always generally 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 42. 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, only four infested localities being known. 
NORTH DAKOTA. 
No San Jose scale. 
OHIO. 
The early 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 summary of the present conditions: 
Counties having no infested orchards 26 
Counties with 1 infested orchard locality 27 
Counties with 2 infested orchard localities 10 
Counties with 3 infested orchard localities 10 
Counties with more than 8 infested orchard localities <>r hav- 
ing large infested areas or numerous small outbreaks 15 
The majoruy of the larger cities of the State are more or less 
infested. 
These points of infestation cover the State pretty generally.
