Reported as fairly abunda.nt on 
various deciduous trees in Mcrristown. 
H. A. trossard (.Tun9 23): Specimens of apple received frc-n north- 
eastern Ohio defoliated by canker^'ci-mSf I am unable to say whether 
the spring or fall species. Eggs of the fall species were receiv- 
ed from- Eve ret-t May 12 and from Willoughby May 15. The parties 
bringing in the defoliated branches reporLed that » any orchards 
in northeastern Ohio had suffered .In this manner. However, sine* 
this happens practically every spring in northeastern Ohio, I am 
not able to say at this time that condition are any worse than 
in ordinary years. 
A. G. Ruggles (June 13): Th fall cankerwonri has been as ser^cus 
as ever in certain regions of the State. Instead of there being 
a marked decr^^se in these insects over a series of years they 
seem to have steadily held their own lor the last five or six 
years . 
LESSER APPLE rr ORM (Las peyresi a prunivora Walsh) 
A. J. Ackerman (June l) : Several growers in the Springdale sec- 
tion report apples more severely infected with the lesser apple 
worm than with the codling moth by June 1. Specimens brought 
to the Bentonville Labo rate ry proved the pest actually to be the 
lesser apple worm. Although injury by this insect is occasionally 
noted evaiy year, this is the first report of injury by the lesser 
apple worm in sprayed orchards of the Ozarks in recent years. . 
APPLE RED BUG (Heterocordytus malinus Reut.) 
A. I. Bourne (May 26): No complaints have come in to us of any 
abundance of the red bug, and in my personal observations thus 
far during the season I have found scarcely any evidence of its 
presence. It, can not, therefore, be present in any abundance 
except possioly in some isolated and uncared-for orchards. 
New York 
C. R. Crosby and assistants: In Genesee and Wyoming Counties 
this insect is so mirercus in several orchards that control meas- 
ures had to be used, while in Ontario County evidence, of their 
worrk has be^n found quite general, although up to May 23 no ser- 
ious infestation has bzen observed.

POTATO LEAFHOPPER ( Empoaso a f alve Karr.) 
A. J. Acker^n (June 5): The potato leaf hopper i3 more numerous 
than last seaoon. Some hopperburn has been noticed on potatoes 
and terminal growth of apple. Ordinarily this leafhopper does 
not cause much injur;/ to potatoes here as only the first brood of 
nymphs attack the plants, potatoes t mature befure the second 
brood appears. First-broru Byraphs were present during the last 
three weekr, o.1 May and first-brood adults began to appear June 1.
