a dust treatment, the mites were apparently much more 
ahundant than on adjoining "blocks which had "been sprayed. 
Connecticut Eb.il ip Carman (August 1-23): Baldwins show considerable 
"burning at Branford ard Wallingf ord. This pest is more 
abundant than last year. A dry summer has favored development, 
Maryland C. C. Hamilton (August 25): Rains the past three weeks have 
put the pest well under control, except at Havre de Grace. 
Here there have "been only a few light showers, and the mites 
are abundant and still doing damage. Indications are that 
there will be severe injury tomfruit buds on peaches. Cool 
nights and damp weather the last of July caused the mite 
to migrate to the limbs and lay winter eggs there. These 
have hatched. Infestations occur at Havre de Grace, Easton, 
Berlin, and College, 
West Virginia W. E» Rumsey (August 15) : Apple, maple, box, and other 
plants are seriously affected, and have been since early 
spring, by an undetermined red spider at Morgantown. 
Ohio H. A, Gossard (July 25): The European red mitQ .has ... 
appeared very numerously in northern Ohio and is known to 
be present in great numbers in orchards as far east as 
Youngstown and as far west as Toledo. It is causing severe 
bt owning of the leaves of apple, plum, and peach. Members 
of our staff have given it personal attention at Youngstown, 
in the peach orchards about Danbury, and in pJum and apple 
orchards at Waterville. It was reported very numerous on 
specimens of apple leaves sent in from Toledo July 12. 
G, A. Runner (August ll): This insect is abundant on many 
fruit trees and ornamentals in the vicinity of Sandusky, 
Insprayed grapevines have been observed which were heavily 
infested, but injury to foliage seemed slight compated to 
injury to foliage of peach and apple. It is also abundant 
in many apple orchards in counties bordering on Lake Erie.

APPLE FLEA-WEEVIL ( Orchestes pallicornis Say) 
West Virginia W, E* Rumsey: (The locality given in ;-the Insect Pest Survey 
Bulletin Vol. 3> Page 126, should be Raymond City instead 
of Morgantown. ) 
Michigan R. H. Pettit (July 10): I have to report that our single 
case of apple flea-weevil seems to be a very difficult one 
indeed to control. Repeated sprays of powdered arsenate 
of lead at the rate of l4 to 2 pounds to 50 gallons of 
water are reported to have failed thus far. The insect is 
spreading in spite of the sprays. Samples sent in show 
the leaves to have been badly eaten after these sprays were 
put on.
