A LEAF BEETLE ( Gastroidea aehea M els, ) ■ 
Virginia W« S, Hough (June 5): The beetles are congregating on the young 
apples and eating holes into the fruit, sometimes going as far as 
the core. In several orchards at Winchester the loss will probably 
amount to 1 per cent of the fruit on the trees attacked. This 
is the second spring this beetle became, abundant enough to cause 
noticeable damage in commercial orchards; the first outbreak oconrred 
in June, 192^. 
EUROPEAN RED MITE ( Para tetr an ychus oilosus C, & F. ) 
Connecticut M* P. Zappe (June 22): Insects plentiful on unsprayed trees. Orchards 
that had delayed dormant spray of oil and regular spray schedule 
afterwards had no trouble with mites. More plentiful as compared 
with last month, 
New York C. R. Crosby and assistants (summary of situation April 25-Junel2): 
Last season this pest was found in considerable numbers in practi- 
cally all orchards in the State. In the Hudson River Valley in 
particular considerable bronzing of the foliage was noticed. This 
season it is interesting to note that practically all of the mites 
had hatched before blossoming. V.here a spray application of- lime 
sulphur was applied just before blossoming many Covers report a 
great reduction in population as the season advances. Reports from 
specific localities are as follows: Oragge County: First hatched 
specimens found May 12. Dutchess County: Hatching rapidly week ending 
May 15. Apple buds in pink stage. Ulster County: Practically all 
the eggs had hatched before apples came into blossoming. Greene 
County: Most of the mites had hatched before blossoming. Onondaga 
County: Over half of the eggs hatched before blossoming. Infestation 
severe in some orchards. Chautauqua County: One prune orchard badly 
infested. Albany County: Just hatching May 15. Wyoming County: ahout^r 
per cent of eggs hatched by May 15. 
Michigan Eugenia McDaniel (June 9): The European red mite is very plentiful 
in an orchard near St. Johns. The characteristic red spots on the 
leaves were noticeable on June 1.
