orchards,, 
Michigan Eugenia McDaniel (June 9); Generally speaking this is not a plant 
leuse year so £ar in Michigan; however, the rosy apple aphid is 
commencing to roll leaves here at Lansing, the mature females 
being present and the young about to appear. Aphi s j aom i DeG 
is present in seme orchards near St, Johns and apple aphids are 
scattered here and there over the lower part of the State. As the 
weather cc ditions are cool and wet, we shall not be surprised 
&£" aphids appear later in numbers,

ROSY APPLE APHID ( Anur aphis roseus Baker) 
Connecticut Y. n P* Zappe (June 22)? This insect was very scarce earlier in the 
season but is very much more plentiful now 
Hew York C„ R* Crosby and assistants (summary of situation April 25-June 12): 
Reports from all parts of the State indicate that this pest was 
extremely scarce on the opening buds* As the season advanced it beca; . 
apparent that the infestation in the Hudson River Valley was greater 
tifiSB in western UewYYcrk c G-rowers rather generally applied control 
measures for this pest in the Hudson River Valley. Scattered colonies 
are to be found but only in very few instances are they causing 
commercial losses* In the western New York fruit belt growers very 
generally omitted control measures. It is estimated that these grower 
saved ma \- the tsands of dollars by omitting nicotine sulphate from 
the spray ...verily applied for the control of this pest a Reports 
from our assistants in Chautauqua, Erie. Orleans, Genesee, Wyoming, 
Monroe, and Ontario Counties indicate little or no infestation of thi? 
insect in the orchards examined. In Wayne County a few orchards 
in the southern part show slight infestations.
