SAN JOSE SCALE ( Aspidiotus perniciosus Comst.) 
Illinois. S. C. Chandler (March 4): Counts made for week ended March 4 
in southern Illinois show from 21 to 64 percent of scale dead, which 
is not more than normal mortality. 
Mississippi. C. Lyle, et al. (March 25): Infestations on peach trees were 
reported from Jasper, Holmes, Tate, and Tunica Counties, as well as 
from the Jackson district and the southwestern counties, especially on 
unsprayed trees* 
Arizona. F. H. Parker (March 19): Found in Tempe area on roses, apple 
trees, and plum trees but no severe infestation. 
APPLE 
CODLING MOTH ( Carpocapsa pomonella L.) 
New York. D. W. Hamilton (March 27): Early dry fall of 1941 in Poughkeepsie 
provided ideal conditions for winter hibernation of larvae. Number of 
larvae in hibernation at least normal. Mortality counts of. overwintering 
larvae made on March 25 showed 16.6 percent dead in one orchard and 12 
percent in another. 
Illinois. W. P* Flint (March 24): Examination in various parts of Illinois 
show somewhat conflicting results regarding 'winter kill of .codling moth, 
with dead or killed ranging from 15 to 50 percent. The survival will be 
about normal, and, with the number of larvae that went to winter, quarters, 
it appears that the spring brood will be very large. 
EASTERN TENT CATERPILLAR ( Mala cosoma americana F.) 
Mississippi. C. Lyle and J. G. Hester (March 25): Many webs observed on 
black cherry and peach in Choctaw, Webster, and Oktibbeha Counties today. 
Apparently more numerous than in 1941.

County . 
FRUIT TREE LEAF ROLLER ( Cacoecia argyrospila Walk.) 
Wisconsin. J. A. Callenbach (March 23): In Crawford County egg masses are 
numerous, although the infestation is somewhat spotty. Infestation 
greatest in recent years. However, there was 25 percent parasitization 
last year and this is expected to increase. 
APHIDS .(Aphiidae) 
Mississippi, D. W. Grimes (March 25): Infestations of Sriosoma lanigerum 
(Hausm.) on young apple trees in one locality in Holmes County. 
California. A. E. Michelbacher (March 23): At Watsonville on March 19, in 
a region where Aphelinus mali Hald. has been established, about 1 percent 
of woolly apple aphids were found parasitized. 
Wisconsin. J. A. Callenbach (March 23): Eggs of the apple grain aphid ( Rho- 
pal os ip hum prunifoliae Fitch) and green apple aphid ( Aphis pomi Deg.) are 
exceedingly scarce in Crawford County.
