MILLIPEDES 
K. A. Gossard (May 20): On April 28 millipedes, apparently of the 
family Julidae, were received from Massilon, where they were said to 
be killing young peach trees by clustering and feeding on the roots. 
The same millipedes were received IT ay iO from Carrollton, where they 
were feeding on garden crops, and on May 15 we received them from 
the Tern) Bureau of Cleveland with no accompanying data. 
ORIENTAL FRUIT MOTH ( LaspevrSsia molest a>B usck) 
S. \1 . Frost (May 19): The oriental fruit moths commenced emerging 
at Arendtsville, Pa,, on "'ay 5. On May 16 the maximum erergence 
occurred. The first eggs were laid on May 18. 
CO. Houghton (May 14): A moth, which I have identified as this 
species, was taken on the evening of May 14 as it was hovering about 
a small peach tree. This is the first I have seen of this species 
here, but I now believe that considerable of the injury to peach 
terminals last year, anc> which was attributed to Anarsia, was really 
this 
oy 
species . 
S'AN JOSE SCALE ( Asp id ictus rem: ciosus Comst .) 
Oliver I. Snapp (May 16): Cold weather and spraying killed out the 
full-grown individuals last winter. The few half-grown scales 
which did survive the winter have not yet reached maturity, and 
consequently no breeding has token place yet this year. The San 
Jose scale infestation in Georgia this year is the lightest that 
I ha.ve seen for years. 
J. E. McEvilly (May 8): This pest is prevalent in old orchards in 
this section. Control and clean-up measures practiced in certain 
localities. 
AMERICAN GRASSHOPPER ( Sch i stpcerca americana Drury) 
Wm. F. Turner (May 10) : On many trees from 50 .to 75 per cent of 
the peaches are scarred from grasshopper feeding, severe enough so 
tnat most of them will have to go into the cull pile at harvest 
tiue. A 500-acre field close by has been "lying out" for 2 years.
