CURRANT APHID (Myziis rjjbis L. ) 
New York C. R. Crosby and assistants: (Jane 17): Infested leaves received 
from Car lor. (June 20): In Chautauqua County this insect was 
observed leaving black currant in great numbers. 
Wisconsin S. B. Fracker (July 15): Reported from Dcd ge ("bad), Eau Claire, 
Marinette, Racine, Rock, Walworth, and Wood Counties, attacking 
currant . 
PECAN 
PECAN NUT CASE-BEARER ( Acrobasis hebescella. Hulst ) 
Georgia John B. Gill (Jure 30): The pecan nut case-bearer, Acrobasis 
hebescella HuIst; , has been very destructive in pecan orchards 
around £a"oont on, DeWitt, Putney, and Albany, during the present 
season. The infestation at Thomasviile is considerably lighter 
than that of the Albany district. Much damage has been done by 
the larvae of the first, generation, especially since there was 
such a small crcp of nuts set in most orchards of this general 
region. Hie parasitic enemies of this pest are becoming quite 
abundant at this writing and it is not expected that the second 
genera. 'ion will be very large, 
Mississippi R. P. Coiner (July 10): In unsprayed orchards the pecan nut 
case-bearer has caused loss of about half the crop. Where ar- 
senical sprays were used the loss has been controlled to a great 
degree. ( 
PECAN LEAF CASE- BEARER (Acrobasis re bulella Riley) 
Georgia John B. Gill (June 30): The moths of the pecan leaf case-bearer 
are commonly observed at this time in pecan orchards of southern 
Georgia. Egg laying has been in progress for several weeks and 
present indics.tions point to a heavy inlet- tat ion for another year. 
Doubtless many growers will spray their orchards during August 
and September for the control of this insect. 
FALL WEBJORM (Hyphantria c unea Drury) 
Georgia Oliver I. Snapp (June 23): The fall ^ebworm ha,s started to attack 
pecans in this section (Perry). Several nests were found today. 
John B. Gill (July 17): The fall webworm is occurring in injurious 
numbers in many pecan orchards of this section ( Thomas v il le ). The 
larvae of the second generation will likely cause considerable 
damage in unsprayed orchards.
