The Lesser Apple Leaf Folder, by R. L. Webster, Iowa Agric. 

 Exp't Sta. Bull. 102, p. 179-212, 1909. 



This admirable biological study, illustrated by a number of original figures 

 and plates of a comparatively little known insect, Peronea minnta Rob., 

 makes material additions to our knowledge of this species and methods of 

 controlling it. The arrangement of the matter diverges from the usual, in that 

 a discussion of control measures follows the account of its injuries, the por- 

 tions treating of classification, the life history and the discussion of natural 

 enemies being relegated to a less conspicuous part of the bulletin. 



Scale Insects of the Orchards of Missouri, by E. P. Taylor. Mo. 

 St. Fruit Exp't Sta. Bull. 18, p. 1-87, 1908. 



This is a general discussion, with special reference to the San Jose scale 

 and the more destructive scale insects of the orchard, together with a few 

 allied forms, such as the grape scale, Aspkliotus uvw, walnut scale, A. juglans- 

 regicc, and the cottony maple scale, Pulvinaria imiumerahilis. A number of 

 experiments with the San Jose scale are summarized, the author giving de- 

 cided preference to lime-sulfur washes though admitting the usefulness of 

 miscible oils. This summarized account will be particularly serviceable to, 

 fruit growers. 



The San Jose Scale in Arkansas, by C. F. Adams. Ark. Agric. 

 Exp't Sta. Bull. 102, p. 221-236, 1908. 



This summarized account, designed especially for fruit growers, discusses 

 in some detail remedial and control measures, giving particular attention to 

 nursery inspection and the necessity of a better law for regulating the same. 



Lime-Sulfur Mixtures for the Summer Spraying of Orchards, 

 by W. M. Scott. U. S. Dep't Agric, Bur. Plant ludust. Cir. 27, p. 

 1-17, 1909. 



This summarizes to date the status of these preparations as summer sprays. 

 Professor Scott restricts his circular to statements of the results obtained in 

 controlling fungous diseases affecting peach, cherry and apple, comments upon 

 the injury to the foliage from these preparations and with commendable con- 

 servatism allows fruit growers to draw their own conclusions. 



The Hop Flea Beetle, by F. H. Chittenden. U. S. Dep't Agric, 

 Bur. Ent. Bull. 66, Prt. 6, p. 71-92, 1909. 



This is a detailed account, with numerous original illustrations, of the hop 

 flea beetle, Psylliodes punctulata Melsh., a species quite injurious to hops on 

 the Pacific coast. Notes are given on a number of related species. There is 

 an extended discussion of control methods, including several new mechanical 

 devices for the capture and destruction of the pests. 



The Grapecane Gall Maker and the Grapecane Girdler, by F. E. 

 Brooks. W. Va. Agric. Exp't Sta. Bull. 119, p. 321-39, 1909. 



These two little known insects, Ampeloglupter sesostris Lee, and A. ater 

 Lee, are discussed in detail, the accounts being illustrated by an admirable
