produce a heavier infestation than that which occurred last year. 
LEAFHOPPERS (Cicadellidae) 
Massachusetts. A. I. Bourne (August 20): The young of the late summer 
hrood of apnle leaf ho pre rs are .just beginning to he noticeable. We 
shall be able to state more definitely in our next report as to ho" 
injurious this brood will he. 
New York. W. S. Bl^uvelt (August 13): The second brood of the white 
apple leafho T .per ( Tyohlocyba pomnria McAtee) has begun to hatch in 
Ulster County. F. J. Chapman believes that the second brood is like- 
ly to be fairly heavy in some orchards and will probably cause some 
spotting of the fruit. 
Maryland. E. N. Cory (August 20): Apple leafhoppers are extremely num- 
erous in western Maryland. 
SAM JOSE SCALE ( Aspidiotus pemiciosus Comst.) 
Georgia. 0. I. Snapp (August 20):. Predators and para.sites have greatly 
reduced the San Jose scale infestation at Fort ir alley during the last 
2 months; however, we expect an increase during the fall months as 
usual. 
Texas. F. L. Thomas (August 20): The San Josg sc^le is verv abundant on 
peaches at Waco. 
Idaho. C. Wakeland (August 20): The San Jose scale is very abundant at 
Lewis ton. 
PEACH 
ORIENTAL FRUIT MOTH ( Grapholitha molesta Busck) 
Connecticut. P. G-arman (August 23): Infestation is uneven throughout 
the State. Parasites wintered success fully. 
G-eorgia. 0. I. Snapp (August 13): Of 21,U72 Elberta ponchos examined at 
Fort Valley, only 12, or 0.06 percent, w re found to be infested. 
These peaches were harvested from an orchard in which no control meas- 
ures against the moth wore enforced. As usual, the fruit infestation 
was extremely light at this point and the insect is of no economic 
importance, which is attributed to the absence of a host for the hi- 
bernating broods of larvae. 
Tennessee. G. M. Bentley (August 20): Serious injury in apple orchards 
located near peach orchards. 
Mississippi. J. M. Langston (August 21): Injury to poach twigs by larvae 
has recently been observed at Hattiesburg in Forrest County, Jackson 
in Hinds County, and Stirkville in Oktibbeha County.
