Ohio J. S. Kouser (February 11): The San J se scale, from reports received 
-this winter and on the "basis of some observations made, is perhaps 
only slightly more abundant than last year. On the whole, I think 
it can be stated that the standard controls recommended are effectively 
holding the insect in check where the spraying is properly done. 
Moreover, natural controls are operating quite effectively in many 
sections of the State and the scale does not seem to be making great 
progress even where no dormant spraying is done. 
Illinois W» P. Flint (February 15): The winter survival is apparently about 
normal. Examinations made during the last month of unsprayed material 
show from 30 to 45 per cent of the scale alive. These examinations 
would apply in general to conditions in southern Illinois. Very few 
badly infested orchards can be found in our larger orchard district;; 
owing mainly to the general use of emulsions for scale control. 
Michigan R. H. Pettit (February 11 ): The San Jose scale is not making itself 
an outstanding pest at all. As a matter of fact, ™e hear a very 
little about it these days, perhaps because delayed dormant spraying 
is being pretty universally done. 
Wisconsin S* B* Fracker (February 18): Not now known northwest of Madison. 
Injurious in Ozaukee and Kenosha Counties, Has been brought under 
satisfactorj/' control for the present by spraying in Racine, Walworth, 
and Dane Counties, 
South H* C. Sever in (February 12): The San Jose scale made ifijr appearance 
Dakota in South Dakota on several different occasions during the past 
fifteen years, but each introduction was destroyed through burning 
of infested stock. 
Nebraska M. H. Swenk (February 10): No infestations of the San Jose scale 
have come to our notice during the past fall or winter, 
Oklahoma C. S. Rude (February 14): The San Jose scale is widely scattered 
over the State and as yet the farm people are not taking hold of 
clean-up measures readily. 
C. E. Sanborn (February 11 ): The San Jose scale is more generally 
prevalent than common and did more damage last year than during 
many preceding years. 
Alabama J, M» Robinson (February 11): The San Jose scale was present in 
about the usual abundance over the State. 
Mississ* R„ W. Harned (February 21 ): The San Jose scale is now fairly abundant 
ipni in every county of Mississippi. It would' probably be difficult to 
find an orchard of deciduous fruit trees that is not more or less 
infested. The fruit trees growing in practically every town and 
village in the State are also more or less infested. The commercial 
orchards and many of the home orchards are sprayed regularly each
