brown in color. During thu siininuT 

 time the niite.s live entirely in llie blis- 

 ter.s, producing eggs and young therein. 

 .\t the approach of cold weather the 

 niite.s migrate to the bark of the tree, 

 hiding themselves in rougli bark around 

 buds and twigs. According to l)i\ \. L. 

 ^k'lander, entomologist of the Washing- 

 ton Experiment Station at Pullman, the 

 best control measure seems to be a 

 spraying of" suljihur-lime given in early 

 spring, when the buds are swelling. 

 After the mites have entered the leaf 

 tissue they cannot be exterminated, al- 

 though spraying with colloidal sulphur 

 is claimd to all'ord some relief. This 

 finely-divided sulphur keeps the mites 

 from spreading, especially to the fruit. 

 In case of bad infestation the fruit is 

 scarred with similar blisters. — Wash-
