APPLE- MAG-GOT ( Khagpletis pomonella TTalsh) 
C. P.. Crosby and assistants: Apple maggot seems to be quite 
general throughout the apple- growing sections of the State. Vfere 
emerging during the third week of July. 
APPLE LEAFHOPPEE ( Phrooasca mali LeB. et al . ) 
L. C. Tyler (August 9): Common but not serious in Nassau County. 
A. I. Bourne (August 20): Mr. Gould, from the western part of 
Hampshire County, reports that there does not appear to be any 
particular abundance of apple leafhoppers. This is interesting 
because of facts which vail be brought out later relative to con- 
ditions in the eastern part of the State. 
Mr. Ide, county ag^.it of Bristol County, reports that leafhoppers 
in his region are getting more prevalent than at any time during 
the season, although up to now they do not seem to be causing any 
serious losses. 
In the western half of Middlesex County Mr. Calkins reports that 
the leafhopper situation is very bad. The species has not been 
determined. Apparently a new brood of adults is just appearing 
and has attained considerable numbers. 
L. Baseman (July): Nursery stock is not as generally attacked as 
last year and damage is not very severe. The leafhoppers are 
fewer than last year. 
SAN JOSS SCALE (As pidiotus perniciosus Corns t. ) 
B. A. Porter (August 23): Second brood crawlers appeared July 28, 
two weeks later than normal. 
OYSTER- SHELL SCALE ( Lepidos aphes ulmi L. ) 
A. I. Bourne (August 20): August 18 to 20 the over-wintering 
eggs of the oyster- shell scale were first being deposited. 
. A HIISSTSED ■CERAMBTCIL (Tctrrqoc-s femcratus Lee. ) 
J. '7. McColloch (August 5): The beetles were found in large num- 
bers on the foliage of apple seedlings in a nursery at Silver Lake. 
They were feeding on the leaves and causing some injury. The 
nurseryman had noticed them on milkweeds and had cut out all the 
weeds, thus forcing the beetles to seek new food plants. 
CLOVES MITE ( Brypbia pr aetiosa Koch) 
J. 17. McColloch (August 18): The clover mite has caused consider- 
able loss to apples in Sumner County. In many cases the trees 
have been entirely defoliated.
