either of the others. The trees remained white, however, for 
nearly two months, but when the last examination was made, 
July 30, it had weathered off in the most exposed places on the 
trunks and branches, especially on the sides toward the pre- 
vailing winds. 
ORCHARD IV, PEARS. 
This orchard is located within a short distance of Orchard 
III. It was planted at about the same time and consists of 22 
Bartlett pear trees. Unlike the other orchard, it has been well 
cared for and most of the trees were vigorous. Only one was 
badly infested with the scale, the remainder were mildly 
infested. 
The check trees, date of application, weather conditions and 
nozzles used were the same for this orchard as for Orchard III. 
The only difference in the treatment of this orchard and those 
previously referred to was in the amount of the wash applied. 
The trees were sprayed very thoroughly once but were not re- 
touched, the object being to determine whether one application, 
without retouching, could be made sufficiently thorough to be 
practicable, or whether it would be necessary in all cases to go 
over the trees a second time. 
The results were better than had been anticipated. Although 
un occasional live scale was found, they were so few in number 
and the trees were uniformly in so much better condition than 
the check trees that the efficiency of the treatment was at once 
apparent. The treatment was evidently nearly if not quite as 
effectual as in the other orchards. 
ORCHARD V, ONTARIO COUNTY, APPLES. 
This orchard is located at Geneva. It was planted about 25 
years ago and consists of 31 Baldwin apple trees of very large 
size. Little is known as to when the trees became infested, but 
when the experiments were made the scale was well distributed 
over each tree, the branches in each case being encrusted in 
places. During recent years the orchard has produced but little 
fruit, 80 bushels being the largest amount for one season, and 
most of this was rendered worthless because of being badly in-
