SAIT JOSS SCALE ( Aspidiotus perr.iciosus Const.) 
Georgia. 0. I* Snapp (September 23) : The San Jose scale increased rapidly during 
September. It is so abundant on young peach trees at Fort Valle?*- and "Perry 
that a summer application of oil emulsion had to be applied to hold it in 
check until the dormant spra: r ing season. 
.Illinois. W. P. Flint (October 21); This insect is distinctly on the up grade 
in the central and southern Illinois orchards and has increased rapidly owing 
to very favorable fall weather. 
Michigan. R.. Hut son (October 22): The San Jose scale is very abundant. 
Texas, p. L. Thomas (August 23): Samples of infested twigs and branches were re- 
ceived this season from Filliamson and Bell Counties and they show the infesta- 
tion to be more severe than usual. 
PEACH 
PEACH BORER ( Ae.?eria exitios a Say) 
Georgia. 0. I. Snapp (October 20): We are still getting some emergence in Fort 
Valley. Oviposition continues. 
Tennessee. G. M. Bentley (October): The peach borer is moderately abundant in 
eastern and middle Tennessee. 
Mississippi. C. Lyle and assistants (October): The peach borer is reported as 
very abundant in Lauderdale, De Soto, Tunica, Tate, Quitman, Panola, and Lee 
Counties. (Abstract, J.A.H. ) 
LESSER PEACH BORER ( Aegeria pictipes G. & R. ) 
Georgia. 0. I. Snapp (October IS): The infestation is heavy in neglected 
orchards in Fort Valley. The emergence of the fall brood of moths is prac- 
tically completed. Larvae ranging in size from newly hatched to more than 
three-fourths grown can be found in the trees. 
ORIENTAL FRUIT MOTH ( Grapholitha no lest a Busck) 
Pennsylvania. T. L. Guyton (October 27). The Oriental fru.it moth is very abundant; 
40 per cent infestation in Salway peaches. 
Virginia. A. M. Woodside (October 25): There was a heavy emergence of the 
oriental fruit moth, and twig damage was heavy during the early part of the 
season. Some fruit was damaged oy the second brood, but the insect dwindled 
out until, at ripening time, there was little .damage. ■ ■■■ 
Georgia. 0. I. Snapp (October 20): The broods were overlapping during September i 
There was no new injury to peach twigs on' account of their hardened condition. 
Quinces on trees in yards at Fort Valley were rather heavily infested; these 
and pears are the only hosts available at this season of the year./ 
Michigan. R. H. Pettit (October 22); The oriental fruit moth is establishing 
itself over the State rather more slowly than ve had expected. Damage was 
serious in certain localites, but not as a whole.
