W. P. Splint (Jime 9): In my last notes for the Insect Pest Survey 
mention was made of the fact that the nymphs of this hrood vrere 
then close to the surface. The first adiilts yrere noticed by llr. 
Chandler at Carhondale on I.fey 31, and vrere abroad in considerable 
n-ombers by June 7. TThile the records uould indicate that there 
TOuld be some adults in v7oodlands as far north as Urbana. ne have 
failed to see any thus far.

up in numbers and as this is the heart of the fruit belt, and tnere 
have been several thousand trees set out here this spring, it is

Brood seems lighter than usTial.
