OAK PLANT BUG ( Lygus Que re alba Knight) 
Philip Garman (July 24): Observed in t^o different localities 
in Hew Haven, both near large oak trees from which the bugs 
•;ere apparently doming. All fruits examined on trees were 
punctured,nnd worthless. 
A TREE CRICKET ( Qecaiithus californicus Sauss.) 
T» D, Urbahns (August 10): Tree crickets, Oecanthus sp., 
probably californicus , are migrating from prune orchards, where 
they have been breeding and probably feeding upon aphids or 
other forms of insect life. They attack the peaches by feeding 
and making small holes in the fruit just prior to ripening. 
V/hile the actual amount of injury is net severe, the very strict 
grading enforced by the canners requires growers to throw out 
practically all of this fruit and many thousands of tons of 
fruit are being lost to the growers. This is the first experience 
growers have had in this district with the Oecanthus sp., 
although, to my knowledge, tree crickets destroyed approximately 
125 tons of fruit in an orchard about 3 years ago. 
EUROPEAN FRUIT EECANIUM ( Lecahium c cmi Bouche) 
C. R. Crosby and assistants (August 7): Generally prevalent 
throughout the State but only seriously abundant in the western 
part of the State, where infestations are reported as rather 
heavy in Niagara County, (Abstract J. A« H. ) 
SAN J07S SCALE ( As'oidiotus -pernio iosus Comst.) 
0. I. Snapp (August 20): The general infestation in the 
Georgia Peach Belt has not yet started to show the usual annual 
increase. A dry, hot, late summer is usually conducive to scale 
increase. The season so far has been very rainy, with moderate 
temperatures. 
WHITE PEACH SCALE ( Aulacaspis penta.^ona Targ.) 
0. I, Snapp (August o): Very heavy infestation on peach 
trees in a ho^e orchard at Macon. 
COTTONY PEACH SCALE (Fulvinaria amygdali Ckll.) 
C« R. Crosby and assistants (August 7): Very scarce through- 
out the State. (Abstract J. A. H. )
