WOOLLY APPLE APHIP (Eriosoma lanigerum Eausm. ) 
Ohio E. W. Mendenhall (August 20): I find that a great deal of apple 
stock in the nurseries south and west of Columbus -is infested 
with the woolly aphid, especially the aerial form. 
CODLING MOTH ( Carrocapsa pomonella L. ) 
Ohio T. H. Parks (August. 19): The plum curculio, together with the 
codling moth, is solving the market problem of apples grown in 
the uncared-for farm orchard. Practically no unsp rayed fruit 
is free from attack and the insect is causing losses in some 
well- sprayed orchards. 
Indiana B. A. Porter (August 8): Although the codling moth got a late 
start in this section (Vincennes) with reference to the "blooming 
period of the apple, conditions since the beginning cf the entrance 
of the worms into the fruit have oesa very favorable to them, and 
the infestation in most orchards is unusual ly severe. According 
to banding records, there has been no definite break between the 
first and second broods. 
Illinois W. P. Flint (August 18): As indicated earlier in the summer, the 
codling moth is more abundant this season than during the last 
three years. Some poorly sprayed orchards show a fairly high 
infestation, mainly ~oy late worms from eggs which have hatched 
during the last two weeks. 
APPLE AND THORN SKELETONIZE?. ( Hgmeroichila pariana Clerck) 
Hew Hampshire P. E. Lowry (July 29): Injuring tip of branches of nearly every 
tree in an orchard at Hbllis. 
Massachusetts A. I. Bourne (August 22): The first moths of the second genera- 
tion of the apple and thorn skele^onizer were making their appear- 
ance about the 30th of July. We are finding that the pest is 
just about as abundant as was the case last year at the corres- 
ponding period of seasonal development. The ease with which 
this has been controlled has led our leading fruit growers to 
rank it among the more or less secondary pests which they have 
to consider. 
RED-BANDED LEAP ROLLER ( Bulla velutinana Walk. ) 
Indiana B. A. Porter (August 8): This pest continues to be present in 
most orchards in small numbers. The outbreak at Vincennes re- 
ported earlier stopped with the first brood, the second being 
present in only very small numbers.
