Hudson Valley indicate that hatching is later than last year. Re- 
latively few appeared on the leaves at the time the preblossom

PEaR PSYLLA ( Fsvllia -mi L. ) 
Hew York C. R. Crosby and assistants (April 22): Deposition of eggs has 
been heavy over all the State. Lggs were hatching in the Hudson 
River, Valley a wcefc before blossoming. It is not likely that many 
eggs will be laid during blossoming as the adults are dying off 
rapidly. (May 7): In the Hudson River Valley -here pears are no- 
in bloom it is evident that considerable oviposition occurred af- 
ter the cluster-bud c^-% saray was applied. In western Me- York, 
while many late eggs were laid the egg spray applied before blossor 
ing destroyed a larger percentage of the total number of eggs than 
in the Hudson River Valley. Hatching rtarted early and a consider- 
able percentage of hatched nymphs appeared well before blossoming.
