R3ARH0R3E ( Stannorantis Carolina Johan . ) 
Georgia Oliver I. Snapp (September 15): The praying mantis is apparently 
unusually abradant in Georgia peach orchards this year at Port 
Valley. 
SAN JOSE SCALE- ( Aspidiotus perniciosus Corns t . ) 
Georgia Oliver I. Snapp (September 15): The general San Jose scale in- 
festation in cbe Georgia 'peach belt is lighter this season of year 
than -usual. Unusual ly low temperatures last winter and careful 
spraying are probably the factors responsible for the reduction in 
the infestation. Judging from present indications a large quan- 
tity of both the heated and cold-pumped lubricating-oil emulsions 
will be us 3d for scale control in Georgia this year. 
TCE3T INDIAN PEACH SCALE ( Aulacaspis pentagona Targ. ) 
Connecticut M. P. Zappe (September 10): This insect seems to be much more 
abundant this year than for several, years past at Stamford; attack- 
ing catalpa, plum, apple, and cherry. 
PEACH- TEEE BORER ( Aegeria exit ipsa Say) 
Georgia Oliver I. Snapp (September 15): Adults are now emerging in num- 
bers. A majority oi the growers will again use paradichlorobenzene 
this year. 500,000 pounds were used in the peach belt last year. 
Utah Geo. E. Knowlton (September 5): Peach-tree borers are doing less 
damage than last year. Where treated with paradichlorobenzene, 
good controls resulted last fall. There has been less gum around 
the trees than for years. 
3H0T-H0IE BORER ( Scolvtus ru^losus Eats^ ) 
Utah Geo. P. Knowlton (September 5): Shot-hole borers are apparent in 
most old or neglected peach and cherry orchards in northern Utah. 
PLUM CURCULIO ( Cono tracheitis nenuphar Hbst.) 
Massachusetts A. • I. Bourne (September 26): Experimental plantings show that one 
or two applications of spray subsequent to calyx spray was effect- 
ive in controlling this pest. 
Georgia Oliver I. Snapp (September 15): Second- generation adults have 
been emerging from the soil in limited numbers during the last two 
weeks. Jarring records show that the peak of appearance of second 
generation adults in the orchards ^as reached September 4. 
CHERRY 
CHERRY APHID (Iviyzus cerasi Fab. ) 
Utah Geo. F. Knowlton (September 5): The black cherry aphid has been 
present doing some damage in every cherry orchard examined, but 
seldom doing excessive damage.
