SAN JOSS SCALE ( Aspidiotus perniciosus. Const.) 
Georgia. 0. I. Snapp (September 19): The San Jose scale on peach-trees in- 
creased rapidly during August and September in central Georgia. The in- 
festation in a few orchards has reached a stage of encrustation; however, 
the general infestation in central Georgia is not greater than that of 
an average year. .. 
Missouri. L. Haseman (September 2l): ; Throughout the State as a whole this scale 
apparently is not serious, although it is threatening in some orchards. 
MITES ( Tetranychus spp. ) 
Washington, E. J. Newcomer (July): The Pacific nite (T> pacificus McG. ) is 
attacking apple in Yakima and Wenatchee Valleys. Very common throughout 
central Washington and probably as abundant as usual. (Let. by E. A. 
McGregor. ) 
Oregon. E. J. Newcomer (July): Specimens of the Willamette mite (T. willamettei 
McG.) collected for identification from Medford and Talent, Jackson County, 
on July 7, 13, and l4. (Dot. by S. A. McGregor.) (July 18): Reported as 
rather abundant at Hood River, Hood River County, on apple .and pear, 
APPLE 
CODLING MOTH ( Carpoca.ps a pomonella L.) 
Virginia. A. M. Woods ide (September 22): Infestation increased rapidly during 
•August. Total infestation in Augusta County probably heavier than, for any 
season since 1933* 
Ohioi T. H. Parks (September 23): Peak of second-brood bait-pan catch at 
Columbus on August 8. Many new entrances noticed by growers, beginning 
the middle of the month. Apple crop now being harvested not suffering 
seriously, except in orchards where the insect has been a serious problem 
for several years. Control in Lawrence County, southern Ohio, much better 
than last year, most severely infested orchard having 3^ percent of the 
fruit blemished with stings, while the lightest crop infestation was 6 
percent, 
Tennessee. G. M. Bentley (September 26): Apples from uncared-for orchards in 
isolated mountain districts show infestations of the second brood, 
Missouri. L. Haseman (September 2l): In unsprayed orchards a heavy carry-over 
of larvae expected this winter. August and early September generation of 
larvae a little late in maturing. Peak of noth emergence in central and 
northern Missouri occurred during the last few days' of' August and the 
first week in September. Normally this peak occurs around August 15 to 20 
in central and northern Missouri. In southern Missouri the peak of moth 
emergence occurred a week earlier. 
Kansas and Missouri. H. Baker (September 26): Third-brood larvae caused con— 
sideraole damage during the first half of September. Bait— trap catches of 
mo-ths held to a high level until September 13, since which time smaller 
catches have been and are still being taken. Reported from northeastern 
Kansas and northwestern Missouri.
