R. H» Pettit (July 2): Cages set for the cherry fruit fly 
at Traverse City show that on last Sunday, the 27th of June, 
50 flies -"ere observed, and an examination on the 2bth had 
showed no flies at all. Owing to a hole in the cage, the flies 
all escaped and I have not seen any of them. It is unreasonable, 
however, to suspect that if may have been one of the cherry 
fruit flies. This morning I received from Hart, which is a 
little south of Traverse City, five white-banded adults of 
Rhagoletis cingulata got ton by one of our field men sweeping 
the trees. This is, of course, authentic, and the first 
authentic record for the State. There were four males and one 
female. 
PRUNES 
RED SPIDER (Te tranychus telarius L. ) 
California 
Massachusett: 
Minnesota 
Kansas 
Massachusetts 
New York 
Nebraska 
T„ D. Urbahns (July 19): The hot weather is apparently favoring 
the development of the red spider at the present time but general 
infestations are much lighter than they have been for four or 
five years in the Sacramento and Sea Joaquin Valleys. 
EIGHT-SPOTTED FORESTER ( Alypia octomaculata Fab.) 
J, V* Schaffner, Jr. (July 7): This species is abundant on 
grape throughout the Italian section of Revere. Undoubtedly 
spraying will be necessary to protect the crop. 
C. E« Mickel (July 15)- ^e eight-spotted forester has been 
very abundant on vines at St. Paul and reports of injury to 
vines on houses are constantly being received. 
CRAPE ROOT WORM (Fidia viticida Walsh) 
J» Y7. McColloch (June 23): This insect is said to be 
destroying 1,800 vines in a vineyard near Atchison. 
ROSE CHAFER ( Macrodactylus subspinosus Fab.) 
A* I. Bourne (July 2U) : The first specimens of rose chafers 
ap"oeared in this vicinity (Amherst) on June 26 and 2J» From 
our observations and from reports which have come in, they are 
apparently of normal abundance. 
C. Ri Crosby and assistants: In Dutchess County a slight but 
not serious infestation is present in most vineyards. Slight 
damage was noted in a large number of localities in Wayne 
County; cherries, apples, and other fruits are being attacked. 
M. H. Swenk (July 25): The outbreak of the rose chafer 
mentioned in my last report ceased abruptly about June 26.
