In the fruit -growing sections of Me-v England and Ne*7 York the pear 
psylla is again prevalent, -vhile pears are being seriously damaged by the 
pear thrips in parts of California. 
The oriental fruit moth is becoming Increasingly abundant. Connecticut 
reports a general increase while Georgia records the heaviest infestation over 
observed in the State. Other reports on this insect have been received from 
Me-7 York, Delaware, Maryland, and Ohio. 
A very serious infestation of raspberries oy the raspberry fruit vrorm 
has developed in the important raspberry and loganberry canning districts of 
Washington. This infestation has become so intense that the fruit canners
