Connecticut, P. Garman (May 19) : Nymphs of the white apple leafhopper are 
present in about the usual numbers in some orchards in New Haven County. 
Scarce or absent in others. 
Indiana. J. J. Davis (May 27) ' Leaf hoppers are abundant on apples. The 
first nymphs were observed by G. E. Marshall at Orleans May 2U. 
Kentucky. W. A. Price (May 2U): Leafhopper s are more abundant than usual 
at this time of year in orchards in the Paducah area. The species most 
abundant are Erythroneura obi i qua Say and E. lawsoniana Bak. 
Missouri. L. Haseman (May 26)': Apple leafhoppers are much less abundant than 
for the last several years. 
EUROPEAN RED MITE ( Paratetranychus pilosus C. & E. ) 
Connecticut. P. Garman (May 19) S European red mite generally scarce through- 
out New Haven County. 
Pennsylvania. H. N. TCorthley (May 2l); In Adams County (south-central Penn- 
sylvania) first-generation mites are mature, and the first eggs were seen 
on apple leaves on May 17. The mites are moderately abundant where dor- 
mant control measures were omitted. At State Oollege (central Pennsyl- 
vania) the mites are very abundant on unsprayed trees. Eggs have not yet 
been observed. 
PEACH 
PLUM CURCULIO (Conotrachelus nenuphar Hbst.) 
Maine. F. H. Lathrop (May 19) : Overwintered adults were active in hiberna- 
tion cages at Monmouth on May 11. 
Delaware. L. A. Steams (May 22): First overwintered adults collected by 
jarring at Bridgeville on April 23, which was also the peak of emergence 
to date. 
Georgia. 0. I. Snapp (May 19): The.curculio infestation at Port Valley 
(central Georgia) is very light. It is perhaps the lightest infestation 
in the 18 years during which this insect has been under observation in 
central Georgia by me. This is believed to be due to the lighter than 
usual carry-over of adults and to the high mortality during hibernation. 
The first full-grown larvae began to leave peach drops on May k, which 
is from 2 to 3 ^eeks later than usual. 
C. H, Alden (May 22): First-brood larvae full-grown, leaving the 
peaches, and making cases in the soil at Cornelia. 
Missouri. L. Haseman (May 26): No evidence of the plum curculio has shown 
up at Columbia or Clarksville.
