ASH BORER ( Podosesia fraxini Lugger) 
J. A. Munro (September 21): The ash borer is very abundant at 
Mandan. Numerous reports have been received of its injury to 
plantings in several other portions of the State. Mr. E. J. 
George writes as follows: "While visiting' the southwestern part 
of the State the last week in August I found practically every 
ash planting infested. No serious breakage; or 7 killing has re- 
sulted at present (September 2). It would appear, however, that 
damage will result in the near future, as the trees, are badly in- 
fested." .,•.-.' '.'. . " '
