SAN JOSE SCALE (Aspidiotus perniciosus Corast. ) 
Georgia 0. I, Snapp (August 20) : At Eort Valley the San Jose scale 
has increased rapidly during the summer months. Some growers, 
dissatisfied with the results from liquid lime-sulphur or 
its substitutes, will use lubricating -oil emulsion this 
winter* 
ORIENTAL PEACH MOTH ( laspeyresia molesta Busck} 
Connecticut W» E» Britton (August 2^) : Many terminal shoots have been 
tunneled by larvae at Greenwich. A few were noticed last 
year in the same section. They are more abundant than in an 
average year.

BEACK CHERRY APHID ( Myzus corasi Fab. ) 
A* A» Granovsky (August 18): Cherry aphid attacks cherry 
orchards year after year in the locality of Sturgeon Bay. Injury 
is largely done in a local ifeed spot- Injury may be considered 
as severe, producing yellowing and defoliation of trees, as 
well as reducing the growth of terminal shoots and, consequently, 
the yield of cherries. Early cherries were more infested 
than late varieties. 
PEAR AND CHERRY SAWFLY (Caliroa cerasi L. ) . 
J, J* Davis (August 22): The work of this insect, resulting 
in complete defoliation, is evident throughout the southern 
part of the State. 
CHERRY FRUIT FLY ( Rhagoletis cingulata Loew) 
Henry Dietrich (July): There is a considerable amount of 
infestation this season at Applet on. 
H* W» Fitch (August k) : One tree examined at Sodus showed 
32 per cent of the fruit infested. 
PLUM 
PLUM CURCULIO ( Conotrachelus nenuphar Hbst.) 
Massachusetts A*. I* Bourne (July 25): The plum curculio seems to be doing 
a great amount of injury this year, and in every section of 
the State reports of normal or somewhat greater abundance 
than last year are coming in. This particular species seems 
to be at the present time the outstanding apple pest of the 
State, and to all appearances is the one farthest from 
control.
