APHIDS (Aphiidae) 
New Hampshire. J. G. Conklin (April 8): Appl& aphids began hatching to- 
day in Durham, southeastern part of the State. 
Massachusetts. A. I, Bourne (April 2^): Young orchard plant lice were 
found hatching around April 12, but actual first appearance date was 
a day or two earlier, because aphids were out in abundance. 
Connecticut. P. Gorman (April 24): Anuraphi s roseus Baker and A. nomi 
Deg, are scarce on apple trees. 
New York. F. Z, Hartzell (April 25)? At Geneva green apnle aphids, rosy 
apnle aphids, and grain aphids ( Phopalo siphum prunifoliae Fitch) have 
hatched and are moderately abundant. Percentage of rosy anhids runs 
from 10 to 20 percent, which is quite high, 
N. Y. State Coll. Agr. News Letter (April): Aphids are hatching 
in the lower Hudson River Volley, the grain aphid having been noted 
as early as April 9 nnd the green aphid and the rosy anhid by the 
middle of the month. They are occurring in moderate abundance, the 
grain aphid being the predominant species. At Ithaca the grain and 
green species were first reported on April 10 and. the rosy aphid was 
observed near the lake on April 17. Aphids are moderately abundant, 
but vary considerably from orchard to orchard.

prunifoliae were numerous in some orchards during first half of 
April, but at present it appears th' j t natural enemies will eliminate 
or greatly reduce their numbers so that commercial damage will be 
improbable. 
Pennsylvania. H. M. Steiner (April 28): Apple aphids are scarce in the 
vicinity of Arendtsville, Syrphid flies and ladybird beetles were 
more numerous than in several years.
