Otis Wade (May 8-11): In the St. Louis region cherries and plums 
were badly stung before the regular "shuck" spray could be applied. 
Unfavorable weather has prevented effective spraying. Unsprayed 
fruits were damaged 75 per cent and sprayed fruits damaged slightly. 
The abundance of curculios is above the average. 
ORIENTAL FRUIT MOTH ( Laspeyresia molesta Busck) 
Philip German (May 22): Emergence of the oriental peach moth be- 
gan May 5 at New Haven and first eggs were obtained May 15. There 
is no sign of the insect as yet in twigs in the field. 
E. N. Cory (April 23): Eggs are present on foliage of quince at 
Ringgold. Moths are flying in abundance. 
0. I. Snapp and assistants (May 15): There is a break in the 
activity of the Oriental peach moth in the field at Fort Valley 
at the present time, apparently between the first and second 
generations, as indicated by the sudden absence of larvae in 
twigs in the field and observations in the insectary. A few 
second- generation eggs and larvae have been taken in the insec- 
tary. First- generation moths are emerging. 
RED SPIDERS ( Tetranychus sp . ) 
0. I. Snapp and assistants (May 15): At Fort Valley red spiders 
are unusually abundant at the present time on peach foliage. It 
is very dry; scarcely any rain has fallen since March 15. 
RED-LEGGED FLEA BEETLE ( Crepidodera erythropus Melsh. ) 
W. E. Britton (May 14): Adult beetles have defoliated a young 
peach orchard at Danbury. 
NEW YORK WEEVIL ( Ithycerus noveboracensis For St. ) 
A. D. Long (April 17): The insects were found doing injury to 
a block of 3- year- old peaches in Orange County. 
BROAD- WINGED TREE CRICKET ( Pecan thus latipenni3 Riley) 
J. J. Davis (May 9): One row of a young peach orchard along a 
weedy fence row at Mitchell was badly infested with tree cricket 
eggs. Apparently it is Pecan thus latipennis . which we have found 
common in the State the past winter, judging from the description 
of egg punctures, etc., although we did not see specimens. 
CHERRY 
BLACK CHERRY APHID ( Myzus cerasi Fab. ) 
C. C. Wagoner (April 11 ): These insects appear to be very numer- 
ous this year in Ulster County.
