Al- though the results at harvest time will be needed before the story is complete, the data taken on scale population on foliage show disap- pointment with some materials and encouraging control with others. There was considerable discussion on the effect of spraying and dust- ing in upsetting Nature's control of various pests. Color Slides Walter Z.
