P» A. Knight: The San Jose scale is of quite common occurrence, 
principally in the northern parts of the State, 
J a S. Hous 
Considerable complaint is being made by seme of the 
orch£ dists in southern Ohio and particularly in Lawrence County 
that the scale is v- h worse than it has been for soek ars, In 
one instances several carloads of fruit shipfd to Ys - York for 
export were refused and returned to the shipper because the fruit 
was infested. It is asserted that engine-oil emulsion ar --ell 
as lime sulphur has failed to control. 
E. Garmans The San Jose scale is one of cur common pests, but I 
do not think that it is as abundant as formerly. It seems to he 
kept very largely suppressed on some trees by small hymenopt erous 
parasites. 
R„ H. Pettit: The San Jose scale is practically everywhere '-here 
fruit is growing but we are hearing very little about it. T-'O or 
three years ago our growers had some difficulty in controlling it 
but at the present time the situation has settled down to a point 
where only a very few inquiries are received each year. I am unable 
to state whether this is due to the good work of natural enemies 
or to seme other cause. 
Wo ?. Flint; An examination of overwintering scale from southern 
and central Illinois indicates that up to the time --hen this report 
"•as written, from 50 ^° 60 per cent of' the scale en both ao-le and 
peach are alive. 
So B. Fr acker : Present in about ten cities and villages of the 
southeastern part of the State. Hot more than $Q to Uo farm orchards 
infested. Apple and plum trees occasionally killed but no other 
economic damage. This insect has apparently been eradicated by 
persistent spraying and destruction of infested shrubbery at 
laorosse, -'here it was discovered about 1921. Otherwise the San. 
Jose scale is not known in the State north and west of a line 
drawn from Beloit through 1/adison to Gedarbraag in .( . > 3ou&fcy, 
except for a few infested trees and shrubs in the city of S) -an. 
The winter of 1924 and 1925 gave the scale a pronounced setback 
so that the injury in 1923 in the infested, van id or char , 
was less than it had been for two previous seasons. 
C. L« Fluke : Yfe have not made any counts on the San Jose scale. 
It occurs, of course,, through certain parts of the southern part 
of Wisconsin, but 1 believe is not any more numerous than usual. 
A, G. Puggles: The San Jose scale introduced by a nurse- 
through distribution of some Kfsw York nursery stock. To have 
followed up all of these si bs and destroyed all of those 
with the scale on . 1 have seen no San Jose sc ide 
of these few isolated cases.
