IT. Y. State Coll. Agr., Weekly ITews Letter (April): By 
the middle of the month apple aphids were becoming numerous 
in the eastern part of the State. Though less abundant than 
the apple grain aohid ( Rho^alosj-phum orunifoliae Fitch) the 
rosy apple aphid ( Anur aphis roseus Eaker) was being reported 
during the first half of the month in the eastern half of the 
State and was increasing rapidly by the middle of the month 
in both the eastern and western fruit areas,. The apple grain 
aphid was observed in the lo^er Hudson River Valley during 
the first week in April. By the second week in the month 
hatching was quite general throughout the entire Hudson River 
Valley and by the third week in the month, it was being quite 
generally reported throughout the western port of the State. 
(Abstract, J.A.H.) 
J. R. Stear (April 2l): Apple aphids have been hatching 
since April 5. Many were killed by the cold weather during 
April. 
T. L. Guy ton (April 2l): The grain and the rosy aphids 
are moderately abundant . 
L. A. Stearns (April 21 ): Fruit aphids are moderately 
abundant throughout the State. 
W. J. Schocne (April 23): Rosy aphid eggs were observed 
hatching in Augusta County on April 4. They seem to be 
present in very small numbers. They were reported present 
in the northern part of the State around April 15, but are 
not sufficiently numerous to be injurious. The present indi- 
cations are that no injury will result from apple aphids this 
season. 
T. H. Parks (April 27): The apple grain aphid, R^ fl runi - 
foliae, is moderately abundant. 
J.J. Davis (April 25): Apple aphids were very abundant 
when the trees were in the green bud stage but they have been 
gradually decreasing in numbers and at present are very scarce. 
1, P. Flint (April): Aphids were quite abundant on apple 
buds at the time of the tip- green stage. The species found 
were practically all grain aphids. The nocbersof aphids have 
been decreasing steadily during the past few weeks.
