APPLE LEAF SKELETONIZER ( Psorosina hammondi Riloy) 
Indiana. A. J. Ackornan (August 25): The apple loaf skeletonizor is very- 
abundant in a moderately sprayed orchard at Elberfeld. Injury is 
quite conspicuous also in several poorly sprayed orchards near Vinccnr.es. 
ELATHEADED APPLE TREE BORER ( Chrysobothris fenorata 01 iv.) 
Alabama. J. M. Robinson (August 13): The flatheaded apple tree borer 
was reported by the county agent at Linden as being very active on 3- 
or U-year-old water oaks that had been transplanted. 
Michigan. R. Hutson (August 2.h) ; Elathcaded apple tree borers are numerous 
at Goodells and Pinckney. 
Nebraska. M. H. Swcnk (August 2U) : Complaints of damage to shade and fruit 
trees continued to bo received during the month. 
APPLE APHID ( Aphis pomi Deg.) 
Ohio. T. H. Parks (August 25): The green aphid has been serious in some 
orchards of northeastern Ohio, where curling of the terminals has occurred. 
The outbreak terminated about the middle of August. 
BUEEALO TREEHOPPER ( Ceresa bubalus E. ) 
Iowa. H. E. Jaques (August 23): In Polk County we found apple orchards rather 
severely injured by the egg-laying scars of the buffalo treehopper. 
EUROPEAN RED MITE ( Paratetranychus pilosus C. & E. ) 
Connecticut. P. Gorman (August 21): European red mite is more abundant than 
it has been during the last 5 or 10 years. Its enemies are less 
abundant than usual. 
PEACH 
ORIENTAL ERUIT MOTH ( Grapholitha molesta Busck) 
Connecticut. P. Garman (August 21): The second generation is unusually 
abundant in New Haven County and the third generation threatens serious 
damage . 
Illinois. W. P. Flint (August 20): Oriental fruit moth caused far less damage 
than in 1935* T he most heavily infested orchards show only about 6 or 7 
percent infestation, as compared with 60 percent in 1935 . 
Georgia. 0. I. Snapp (August 20): the infestation continues light in yard 
trees at Port Valley, although the insect has damaged SO ne late varieties 
of peaches. It is of no economic importance in the commercial orchards 
here. Of 3U, 612 Elberta peaches cut open and examined this year, net 
one was found to be infested. These peaches were harvested from an 
orchard in which no control measures against the moth were taken.
