FRUIT INSECTS 
APPLE 
CODLING MOTH ( Caruocapsa uomonelia L. ) 
Georgia. C. H. 'Alien (February 19): The winter carry-over of hibernating 
larvae of the codling moth is moderate at Cornelia. Practically none 
have "been killed "by winter temperatures but some are dead from fungus. 
Oregon. D, C. M te (February 25): 3. G. Thompson reports that at the last 
examination the larvae were coming through in good condition. 
ROSY APPLE APHID ( Anurg.phis ro*eus Baker) 
Virginia. W. J. Schoene (February 25): Last fall returning migrants of the 
rosy aphid were found in numbers on apple foliage in many sections of 
the State, and during the winter aphid eggs have been observed to be 
more numerous than usual. Accordingly, growers are showing considerable 
interest in the aphid spray. We expect this to be a rosy-aphid year. 
SAN JOSE SCALE ( Aspiciotus pernio iosus Comst.) 
Georgia. 0. I. Snapp (January 2H): The San J se scale is more abundant 
than usual on peach trees at Fort V a lley. The percentage of living 
scale on uns prayed peach trees in January vas lower than that of an aver- 
age year, which may be due to the unusually cold winter. Of 30>600 
scale counted under the binocular during the period January lk to 2h t 
23,168, or 75*7 percent, were found to be alive. 
C. H. Alden (February 1$): Scale was very bad on peach and apple 
at Cornelia in the fall, but spraying and extremely severe winter 
weather have greatly reduced the numbers and have prevented breeding. 
Alabama. J. M. Robinson (February 25): San. Jose scale is moderately 
abundant on fruit trees at Auburn, Grand Pay, and some other places in 
the State, 
PEACH 
PLUM CURCULIO ( Conotrachelu s nenuphar Hbst.) 
Georgia. C. H. Alden (February 19): Plum curculio still in hibernation 
at Cornelia, 
PEACH BORER (Aegeria exitiosa Say) 
Alabama., J. M. Robinson (February): The peach tree borer was moderately 
abundant at Auburn, requiring treatment.
