May 8 to 15, which is 10 days earlier than in 1929. 
A. G-. Rugbies (May 26): The pine leaf scale is very 
abundant at Lake City, St. Paul and Minneapolis. Eggs began 
hatching at Lake City on May 6 and in the latter named locality

NORTHERN MOLE CRICKET ( GryllotaLoa hexadactyla Perty) 
F. H. Claridge (May 2): Specimens of two insects caught 
in the Nursery of the State Conservation and Development 
Department near Clayton, were determined by A. N. Caudoll 
as G-ryllotahpa hexadactyla Perty. The insects were not caught 
in the act of eating the seedlings, but small runways very 
much resembling a minj&ure mole path were found. The seedlings 
attacked ere lonrleaf, shortleaf , slash, loblolly, and some 
red pine which were being used to experiment with. The 
seedling is usually pulled do- n into the ground and the stem- 
eaten off. The greatest damage is noticed in seedlings 
ranging from a month to three months old.
