North Carolina 'V. A. Thomas (March 17): The small tents of this insect 
are just shoeing up in wild cherry trees just coming into 
foliage. In one tree of medium size more than a dozen tents 
were observed. The infestation seems to he slightly heavier 
than last season. 
South Carolina M. H. Brunson (March 26): Larvae are abundant in apple

J. 3. Gill (March 22): The American tent caterpillar is 
quite scarce in southern Georgia this y^ar. Some colonies 
of caterpillars have been observed on wild plum and crab- 
apple trees, but so far none on wild cherry trees. The 
first webs were seen on February 26, these occurring on a 
wild crab-apple at nlbany. 
W« J. Baerg (March 14): Caterpillars began hatching 
yesterday. The egg masses seem to be scarce at Fayetteville. 
SPRING- CANKER WORM ( Paleacrita vernata Peck) 
R. L. Parker (March 20): Spring canker worms are reported 
from Little River, Glasco, Osborne, and Chanute. 
^??LE MAGGOT ( Rhagoletis pomonella Walsh). 
M. H. Swenk (March 24): A ne~ locality for the apole 
mag-rot in Nebraska was established by the discovery that 
last fall in 'an orchard near Crofton, Knox County, this 
insect did serious damage to the fruit crop. Previous re- 
ports of this insect in Nebraska during* the past six years 
have come from Gage, Nance, and 3urt Counties. 
EUROPEAN RED MITE ( Paratetranychus nilosus C. & P. ) 
A. I. Bourne (March 24): Observation would indicate about 
normal abundance. This pest is found to fluctuate consider- 
ably in individual orchards from year to year. In some 
orchards where it was moderate to bad last year, it is almost 
impossible to find them; on the other hand, there are some 
orchards and individual blocks where the pest is as abundant 
as I have ever seen it. On the whole, therefore, the situ- 
ation is normal. 
L. A. Stearns (March 21): The European red mite is moder- 
ately abundant in northern Delaware. 
J. S. Hcuser (.-.arch 6): This insect is increasing in 
abundance but confined to the northern part of the State as 
far south as Columbus. Baldwin apples ar~ especially 
susceptible. 
E. .7. Mendenhall (March 3): The European red mite is 
abundant in apple orchards in Fairfield County.
