Kentucky. W. A. Price (February 23): Aphid eggs are very abundant in 
orchards generally over the State. 
Idaho. C. Wakeland (February 20): Orchard aphids are reported by fruit 
growers as being already hatched. 
Utah. G-. F. Kr.owlton (February 19): Fruit aphid eggs are moderately 
abundant in northern Utah. 
SAN JOSE SCALE ( Aspidiotus perniciosus Comst.) 
Georgia. 0. I. Snapp (February 2l): The San Jose scale is now very much 
more abundant on peach trees than usual at Fort Valley. The percentage 
of live scales at the present time is a little lower than usual, which 
no doubt is due to low temperatures. A minimum of 14.4° F. was recorded 
on January 30. There have been three cold spells during the winter. Of 
4,100 scales examined on February 1? and 19, 3,301 were found to be alive, 
C. H. Alden (February 2l): Some crawlers have been observed this winter 
at Cornelia. There are none at this date, probably on account of the 
cold spell. 
Kentucky. W. A. Price (February 23): There has been a marked decrease in 
the numbers of the San Jose scale over last year. 
Michigan. R. Hut son (February 23): The San Jose scale is moderately abun- 
dant; reported from as far north as Shelby and Hart. 
Wisconsin. E. L. Chambers (February 19): The small percentage of the San 
Jose scale that survived the winter of 1932-33 developed rapidly during 
the summer and, aided by a long growing season, established quite 
severe infestations on many trees and shrubs in the several counties in 
Wisconsin where this pest now exists. 
Mississippi. C. Lyle and assistants (February): The San J§se scale is very 
abundant in Lee, Finds, Bolivar, and Washington Counties. Some trees 
have been killed. Crawlers were noticed until the cold wave of the 
week of December 25. 
Idaho. R. W. Haegele (February 2l): Winter mortality is negligible in 
southwestern Idaho. The scale showed increase during 1933. 
APPLE MAGGOT ( Rhagoletis pomonella Walsh) 
Nebraska. M. H. Swenk (February 15): During the last week in January we 
received from Burt County several specimens of apples showing heavy 
injury by the apple maggot. 
PEACH 
LESSER PEACH BORER ( Aegeria pictioes G. & R.) 
Mississippi. J. Milton (February 19): The lesser peach tree borer was in- 
juring trees rather badly in a small home orchard near Florence, Rankin 
County, in December.
