FRUIT APHIDS (Aphiidae) 
Massachusetts. A. I. Bourne (June 25): We noted that apple aphids in 
orchards at Amherst were hatching as early as March 28, owing to warm 
weather. 
Connecticut. P. Garman (June 19): Rosy apple aphid ( Anur aphis roseus Bak. ) 
is very abundant in some orchards. The outbreak, however, is "by no 
means general. A decided increase took place from June 1-15> "but migration 
is now well under way. f 
New York. N. Y. State College Agr. News Letter (June 29): The rosy aphid 
has built up to serious proportions .in many orchards in Niagara County

New Jersey. T. J. Headlee (June 2U) : Infestation of the green apple aphids 
( Aphis pomi DeG. ) began showing up in some orchards by June 10. The in- 
festation in some orchards, where growth of foliage was active, has 
reached a point where sprays are advisable. 
Pennsylvania. H. E. Hodgkiss (June 23): The rosy apple aphid has caused 
fruit injury in many orchards throughout the State, but no commercial 
damage has been done. The green apple aphid is reported to have started 
on water sprouts during the week of June 15.

were received from Hamilton County with the statement that the insect 
is injurious in several orchards. 
Indiana. J. J. Davis (June 22): Apple curculio has been noticeably more 
abundant throughout the State than for many years. 
Missouri. L. Haseman (June 2h) ; During the first week in June a very severe 
epidemic of apple curculios showed up in northeastern Missouri, extending 
from Elsberry north through Clarksville and Louisiana to Hannibal. Less 
noticeable outbreaks were also observed at Macon and Chillicothe. There 
was practically no evidence of the insect at Columbia and in the other im- 
portant orchard centers of the State. Near timber, fruits on many trees 
were damaged practically 100 percent, with from 1 to 100 punctures to the 
apple. The attack largely subsided by the 15th of the month.
