PEAR AND CHERRY SAWFLY ( Caliroa cerasi L.) 
Idaho Don B. Whelan (July 25). "This pest is much more abundant than it 
was during 1920 and 1921. Very few trees in southwestern Idaho are 
free from infestation, and some are nearly defoliated. The defolia- 
tion has seriously affected the vitality of the trees in certain 
districts and undoubtedly will reduce the crop next year."
