liddle Atlantic E. Postal (October k): Inspection of export apples from the Eid- 
States die Atlantic States during the month of September, at the Port of 
'ic~' fork, reveals considerable infestation of San Jose scale. Out 
of approximately forty carloads or part carload?*, inspections, this 
insect was present in nineteen instrnces, infestation ranging 
from 1/2 of .1 per cent to ^3 per cent of the apples in inspection 
samples.

many of the insects have died since summer, probably as a result 
of predacious enemies or p ro. sites. The same thing occurred in 
152o. I am still wonder i:-.g if the general use of lubricating -oil 
emulsions for scale control during recent years has not allowed 
the predacious enemies and parasites of the San Jose scale to be- 
come more numerous than v.es the case r/hen caustic scale- sprays
