the reduction in market value are both considered, itseems evident that a loss of 10 per cent of the total value of the peach crop in the easternUnited States is caused by peach scab. In order to supplement the data from published records and per-sonal observations, an inquiry concerning the economic importanceof the disease in the various States was included in the questionnairereferred to on the preceding page. The answers showed a consensusof opinion that, unless controlled, the disease may occasion seriouslosses in practically every important peach-producing State east ofthe Rocky Mountains. In formulating a more concrete conception of the economic impor-tance of the disease, it is of interest to refer to the estimates of thelatest census report2 from which the data in Table I are taken. 1 See estimates and notes by Mr. M.
