SUMMARY OF DISTRIBUTION BY STATES. 20 
New Jersey. About 50 trees in the middle of an orchard of 600 were 
reported to be thoroughly plastered with the scale. Nearly the same 
number were more or less affected. A smaller orchard set at the same 
time and with trees from the same nursery was widely but not heavily 
infested. The owners of both places have promised to take vigorous 
steps to stamp out the scale. 
Information of a second Ohio case came to us from Mr. F. A. Sirrine, 
of Jamaica, N. Y., February 19, 1895. Mr. Sirrine transmitted to us 
some infested twigs for identification which he had received from Dr. J. 
McCann, of Delaware (orchard at Irville?), Ohio, who wrote that the 
trees were purchased five or six years before, in part from one of the 
New Jersey nurseries, and the balance in Ohio. 
A third point in Ohio was reported by Professor Webster, March 1, 
1895, in Muskingum County, in an orchard of 4,000 trees set out five 
years before. 
Under date of November 16, 1895, Professor Webster reports three 
additional localities for the San Jose scale in Ohio. He writes: "The 
localities in Ohio where we know the San Jose scale to occur or to have 
occurred are as follows: New Richmond, Silverton, London, Irville, 
Duncan Falls, Neffs. The first and by far the worst outbreak is being 
handled with an energy that deserves the highest commendation; the 
second is not being managed so carefully, and the third is exterminated, 
I believe. The fourth, the same that Sirrine refers to, is being taken 
care of properly, while of the other two I only know that the affected 
trees were promptly destroyed." 
OREGON. 
The San Jose scale occurs pretty generally throughout the eastern 
fruit belt of Oregon and also extends up the Columbia River. It has 
been definitely located at the following points: Hillsdale, Corvallis, 
Umpqua Ferry, Salem, Portland, Milwaukee, Rocky Point, and The 
Dalles. The conditions are very similar to those prevailing in California. 
PENNSYLVANIA. 
The scale has been located at the following points in Pennsylvania : 
Atglen, Lewisburg, Waynesboro, Bristol, Marietta. The locality at 
Atglen was visited by Professor Smith, who found that in an orchard 
of over 7,000 trees all of certain varieties were infested with the scale. 
As a result of his recommendations, kerosene emulsion has been applied 
three times to most of the trees, at intervals often days, up to the first 
week in June. The treatment was reported absolutely successful. 
The occurrence at Lewisburg, Union County, is in the orchard of 
Dr. G. G. Groff, of the State board of health, professor of chemistry in 
Bucknell College. In 1890 some pear trees were purchased from one 
of the nurseries in New Jersey, which proved to be badly infested. 
This orchard was visited by Mr. Howard in October, L894. It is a small 
one, and the owner hopes to eradicate the scale by ea refill treatment.
