SAN JOSS SCALE (A sridiotus pernicios-os Corns t. ) 
E. P. Dietz (July 11): A number of cases of spray injury from 
various rarts of the State have teen brought to our attention. 
Both lime-sulphur solution and Bordeaux mixture have caused severe 
"burning in many instances, probably due to the variable climatic 
conditions, and due to the fact that owing to the lack of sunshine 
during fey and June plants have made an unusually tender growth. 
E. A. Porter (July 25): As a result of effective spraying with 
oil emulsions, most of the commercial orchards in southern Indiana 
are more nearly free of scale than they have been for several years , 
In occasional neglected or poorly sprayed orchards the scale is ^ 
present in about the usual abundance. Along with most everything 
else, the scale is about two weeks behind schedule, and the second 
brood of crawlers has not yet appeared at this date. 
A. J. Ackerman (July 16): Dormant sprays with lubricating- oil 
emulsions during the past three years in Arkansas apple orchards 
have proved entirely satisfactory in controlling the San Jose 
scale. There is only an occasional orchard in the section where 
any scale-spotting of fruit can be found at the present time. 
S. B. Fracker (July 15): Reported from Ozaukee County attacking 
apple on this date. 
E. J. Newcomer (July 17): Crawlers of the San Jose scale were 
first observed on May 25. No -unusual infestations have been re- 
ported to date. 
APPLE EPUIT- CHAFER ( Metachroma inter run turn Say) 
B. A. Porter (July 25): A small amount of injury caused by this 
insect in July in one apple orchard near Decker, not as abundant 
as last year. 
APPLE FLEA-WEEVIL ( Orchestes -pallicornis Say) 
A. J. Ackerman (July 1?): The apple flea- weevil is more abundant 
in northwestern Arkansas than in former years and it may be found 
in practically every orchard of the section. Clean cultivation, 
which is pr-.cticed in most orchards, has prevented the insect from 
causing serious damage. 
PLUM CUBCULIC ( Conotrache lus nenuphar Hbst.) 
A. I. Bourne (July 24): Not much damage in the western part of 
the State. Injury in western Middlesex County estimated at 60 
per cent of normal; seems to prefer Duchess apples. Unusually 
serious in Bristol County, 25 to 50 .per cent of fruit on well- 
sprayed trees. In Plymouth County it is the worst orchard pest.
