  Wyoming 
  and 
  Genesee 
  counties, 
  as 
  shown 
  by 
  a 
  recent 
  trip 
  ; 
  in 
  some 
  

   places 
  the 
  trees 
  are 
  entirely 
  denuded. 
  Cankerworms 
  are 
  very 
  abundant, 
  

   and, 
  unless 
  the 
  trees 
  are 
  sprayed, 
  many 
  of 
  them 
  will 
  be 
  denuded 
  of 
  foli- 
  

   age.

  Yates 
  county 
  (Cyrus 
  R. 
  Crosby, 
  Penn 
  Yan) 
  — 
  Appletrees 
  are 
  badly 
  in- 
  

   fested 
  by 
  aphids 
  [Aphis 
  m 
  a 
  1 
  i], 
  there 
  being 
  20 
  to 
  30 
  lice 
  on 
  each 
  bud. 
  

   About 
  10% 
  of 
  the 
  buds 
  are 
  infested 
  with 
  bud 
  moth 
  larvae 
  [Tmetocera 
  

   ocellanaj. 
  Mourning 
  cloak 
  butterflies 
  [Euvanessa 
  antiopa] 
  

   are 
  more 
  abundant 
  than 
  usual. 
  May 
  4. 
  The 
  grapevine 
  flea 
  beetle 
  

   [Haltica 
  chalybea] 
  is 
  doing 
  very 
  little 
  damage. 
  One 
  vineyard 
  

   of 
  three 
  acres 
  which 
  was 
  badly 
  affected 
  two 
  years 
  ago, 
  and 
  in 
  which 
  

   they 
  were 
  very 
  numerous 
  last 
  spring 
  is 
  entirely 
  free 
  now. 
  The 
  beetles 
  

   were 
  thoroughly 
  picked 
  last 
  spring, 
  and 
  the 
  leaves 
  sprayed 
  with 
  paris 
  

   green.

  The 
  cold 
  does 
  not 
  seem 
  to 
  have 
  affected 
  the 
  appletree 
  

   tent-caterpillars 
  [Clisiocampa 
  americana]. 
  I 
  have 
  seen 
  but 
  

   one 
  bunch 
  of 
  forest 
  tent- 
  caterpillars 
  [Clisiocampa 
  disstria]. 
  

   May 
  12. 
  Appletree 
  tent-caterpillars 
  are 
  as 
  abundant 
  on 
  the 
  apple, 
  peach 
  

   and 
  plum, 
  as 
  last 
  year, 
  but 
  the 
  forest 
  tent-caterpillars 
  appear 
  to 
  be 
  far 
  

   less 
  numerous. 
  May 
  18. 
  Tent-caterpillars 
  [probably 
  both 
  species] 
  are 
  

   doing 
  damage 
  everywhere. 
  May 
  25. 
  Tent- 
  caterpillars 
  are 
  doing 
  great 
  

   damage 
  to 
  appletrees 
  around 
  Penn 
  Yan, 
  and 
  some 
  maples 
  are 
  as 
  bare 
  as 
  

   in 
  winter. 
  June 
  2. 
  I 
  find 
  a 
  species 
  of 
  [X 
  y 
  1 
  i 
  n 
  a] 
  to 
  be 
  quite 
  common 
  

   on 
  apricots 
  as 
  well 
  as 
  the 
  plum 
  curculio 
  [Conotrachelus 
  nenu- 
  

   phar]. 
  June 
  9. 
  Cankerworms 
  are 
  said 
  to 
  be 
  doing 
  considerable 
  dam- 
  

   age 
  in 
  the 
  northern 
  part 
  of 
  the 
  county. 
  I 
  found 
  several 
  larvae 
  [A

   octomaculata] 
  on 
  grapes.

  have 
  found 
  trouble 
  in 
  

   keeping 
  the 
  vinegar 
  fly 
  [Drosophila

  out 
  of

  The 
  wheat 
  in 
  a 
  great 
  many 
  fields 
  is 
  from 
  one 
  

   fourth 
  to 
  one 
  half 
  down 
  as 
  the 
  result 
  of 
  the 
  work 
  of 
  the 
  Hessian 
  fly, 
  

   Cecidomyia 
  destructor.

  Late 
  peas
