E. P. Felt (July 24): R. E. Horsey reports that the San Jose 
scale lias lightly infested plums and also Rhamnus at Rochester. 
H. F. Dietz (July 20): Throughout the whole southwestern sec- 
tion of the State the San Jose scale is quite abundant on neglecte 
fruit trees. In the vicinity of Tell City and Evansville fruit 
trees that have not "been sprayed have been severely injured by 
this pest.

in deciduous fruit orchards., doing severe damage to peaches, prune 
apricots, and apples at Eanford. 
OYSTER- SHELL SCALE ( 1st, i dog aches uimi L. ) 
H. P. Dietz (July 23): An interesting record is the occurrence 
of the oyster-shell scale, apple form of 3-1 enn, on apple nursery 
stock in Greene County. This is the first time that I have an 
authentic record of this scale occurring that far south in the 
State.

found on the Horticultural grounds of the College at Brookings.

of this insect. Since the last bulletin it has been reported as 
abundant on apple in the following counties: Washington, Pulaski. 
VTarren , Marion, and Madison. Apparently abundant only in orchard 
not regularly sprayed with a dormant spray.

ports that the red mite had started in some cases to cause con- 
siderable foliage injury until checked by the recent v.ery heavy 
rains we have experienced. 
Philip Garman (July 24): Observed for the first time in threat- 
ening numbers on Mcintosh at Branford, North Bran ford, and Green- 
wich. More abundant than last year. Dry early in the season; 
abundant rains later.
