lent condition and while there was not enough scale to furnish 
much data as to the effect of the wash upon the insect, their 
location was such as to make them very convenient for obser- 
vation of the effects of the wash upon the trees and also its 
enduring qualities. 
These trees were treated at about the same time as Orchard 
V, and under practically the same conditions. The results in 
general were also the same. There was no evidence of injury 
to the trees except that the young leaves which had burst from 
the buds were burned. The foliage was slow in appearing, but 
was finally as abundant as in other seasons. No trace of live 
scales were found on these trees after being sprayed. 
ORCHARD VI, NIAGARA COUNTY, PEARS AND PHACHES, 
This orchard is located on the lake road about three miles 
north of Lewiston. It consists of 212 trees of which 119 are 
pears and the remainder peaches. The pears have been planted 
about eight years and consist principally of Bartletts and a few 
Keiffers. The peaches have been planted four years and are 
about evenly divided between Smock and Yellow St. John. 
Thirty pears and 26 peaches were reserved for late spring treat- 
ment, leaving 89 pears and 68 peaches for these experiments. 
The orchard has been under excellent cultivation and except for 
the injury by the scale the trees were in good condition. 
The pears were much more seriously infested than the 
peaches, 48 being encrusted from the lower part of the trunks to 
the smaller branches, while of the remainder, 29 were encrusted 
on some of the branches and the remaining 42 were slightly in- 
fested. The peaches were not as badly infested as the pears, 
only 22 being encrusted on any part of the tree, while the re- 
mainder were only slightly infested. Taken as a whole, how- 
ever, the orchard furnished most excellent material for testing 
the efficiency of the wash as a remedy in badly infested orchards. 
Checks.— The checks consisted of five pear trees selected from 
the orchard and representing as nearly as possible the condition 
of the pear trees throughout the orchard, and six peach trees 
in an adjoining block also representative of the conditions in 
the peach orchard.
