very bad condition, some Of them be-
ing literally covered with the pest.
He has consented to destroy his en-
tire orchard of 500 trees. The pest
has spread from his orchard to several
adjoining orchards, one Of which is
owned by Mr.. Diffendall, planted last
spring, and another is owned by Mr..

men to at once get rid of the pest. l
have also found the pest in a pear or
chard Of Samuel B. Loose, near Edge
mont. Several trees have been de-
stroyed and the pest is spreading to
other orchards in that vicinity. Mr..
Loose will take immediate steps to de-
stroy his trees. fear that many fruit
growers of the Blue Mountain belt do
not realize what a frightlul pest the

The scale has also gained a foothold in
