at the present time there is practi-
cally not commercial deciduous or
chard in this country that does not
have to be sprayed once year.
Some idea of the burden which this
insect puts upon the orchardists of the
United States can be had wnen 4 is
realized that the expenditure for ap,
paratus and spraying amounts to ap-
proximately S10000.000 annually. In
addition to this are the losses that
the insect causes in spite of this con-
troll treatment, and they are very large,
especially in small orchards and house
hold paintings where spraying is not
commonly practiced. This insect alone
undoubtedly has cost this country dur
ing its presence here upward of $780,
100000.

host plants that are above ground

when abundant may occur on the
leaves and fruits. Injury results from
the extraction, by the scale insects,
of the juices of the plant. AT first this
