SHOT- HOLE BORER ( Scolytus rugulosus Ratz. ) 
J. A. Hyslop (August 30): The shot-hole borer has killed 
several Japanese cherry trees in Montgomery County and is 
also seriously infesting other trees weakened by the drought. 
T. H. Parks (August 25): Complaints about injury from 
these insects are coming more frequently than usual. We 
attribute this to the weakened condition of trees caused by the 
prolonged drought. Wild cherry, peach, and plum are the trees 
affected.
