BROAMTECKED- -ROOT BORER ( Pr ionus laticollis Drury) 
Connecticut. E. P. Pelt (February 25)1 Somewhat abundant in the- Stamford, area. 
Numerous grubs were injuring the roots of an old apple tree, and a w calc 
hetinospora has also been injured by the work of this pest. 
SAIT JOSE SCALE ( Aspidiotus perniciosus Const,) 
Illinois. W. P. Flint (February 24): A fall survey showed that the scale is ver 
abundnnt in many peach and apple orchards in the southern and south-central 
part of the State. Lowest winter temperatures have been from l4° to 15° be- 
low zero in this area. Examina.tions show about 35 percent of the scale is 
still alive, which is. about the normal mortality for the winter. 
Georgia. 0. I. Snapp (February 10 ): Crawlers today were observed- on. a peach 
tree at Fort Valiev. .The general infestation in central -Georgia is less - 
than that of an average year. 
Mississippi. C. Lyle (February 25) J Some peach and apple trees in the vicinity 
of State College, which were not treated lent year, are very heavily infested. 
Louisiana, C. 0. Eddy (February 25 ) • Peach infestation is about average in the 
northern part of the State. ; . . • 
APPLE 
CODLING MOTH ( C arpo c a.p s a po no ne 1 1 a L,)

Indiana. L. F. Steiner (February 26): Subzero temperatures in January killed 
from 30 to 50 percent of the population suriviving at that time above the 
snow line at Vincennes, southwestern Indiana. The carry-over is expected 
to be about normal. - 
Missouri. L. Hasenan (March 2 ): In most of the commercial orchards there is a 
heavy carry-over of larvae because of the abundant third brood last fall. Lov 
temperatures, particularly in southeastern and southwestern sections of the 
State, are expected to kill a small percentage only, and in central and 
northern sections they seen to be wintering perfectly. 
FRUIT TREE LEAF ROLLER ( Cacoecia argyrospila Walk.) 
Missouri. L. Hasenan (March 2): Egg commits made recently in the eastern and 
central parts of the State indicate that we nay expect a .greatly reduced 
outbreak of leaf rollers this spring. Egg-packet counts in many orchards 
show them to be not more than one-fourth as abundant as was the ca.se a. year 
ago .
