The aphid situation reported in the last number of the Survey 
Bulletin has not materially changed, aphids remaining unusually scarce 
throughout the Middle Atlantic, . New England, anc East Central States 
and the Pacific Northwest, These insects are reported, however, as more 
abundant than usual in the Fort Valley section of Georgia. 
Codling-moth emergence, on the whole, is much later than usual 
throughout the Middle Atlantic and East Central States. 
The eastern tent caterpillar is reported as subnormally to nor- 
mally abundant throughout the New England and Middle Atlantic States, 
damage so far being very slight throughout this region. Parasitismi 
in comparison with conditions last year, has substantially increased 
in New England. 
The San Jose scale suffered very high mortality in southern 
Indiana* 
The European red mite appears to have survived the winter very 
successfully, and present indications are that infestations this year 
will be as severe if not more severe than last year throughout the New 
England and Middle- Atlantic States. 
The pear psylla is appearing ini normal abundance in New England 
and New York State, 
Dj-phadrlus calif ornicG B occurred in very unusual numbers in Benton 
County, Washington, where it stripped the foliage from 120 acres of 
pears. 
The oriental fruit moth started emerging during the first week of 
M a y in New York and Ohio. In the Georgia fruit belt this insect is very 
scarce this year. Its relative abundance has not yet been ascertained 
over the rest of its range. 
Although the plum curculio was observed 6 days earlier than in 
1927 in Massachusetts it is later than usual throughout the greater 
part of its eastern range. In Georgia it is 25 days behira|' its normal 
schedule. 
An intensive campaign to eradicate the citrus whitefly which was 
recently found in a nursery in California is now under way. 
The cabbage curculio is doing very serious damage in Kansas and 
Nebraska, One grower near Omaha lost 10,000 young cabbage plants aS a 
result of the attack of this insect, and this is the first serious 
report recorded from this State.
