CHERRY 
PEAR AND CHERRY SAWLY ( Caliroa eerasi L.) 
Indiana B. A. Porter (June 7): This sawfly is defoliating cherry trees 
at Vincennes . 
J.J. Davis (July 16): The cherry slug is abundant in some sections 
of the State, but is probably slightly less severe than a year ago. 
BLACK CHERRY APHID (Myzus eerasi Fab.) 
Indiana H. F. Dietz (June 22): This species is very abundant on cherry. 
Wisconsin E. M. Squire (July 2): In Door County this insect is quite plenti- 
ful but not very serious. 
Nebraska M. H. Swenk (July l) : The last two weeks in June were characterized 
by an unusual abundance of aphids of several kinds. From north- 
eastern Nebraska, especially in Pierce and Boone Counties, the 
cherry aphid was reported doing injury during the third week in 
June. 
AN ANTHICID BEETLE ( Notoxus tain a Laf .) 
Michigan R. H, Pettit (June 28): I received word today from Niles , Mich., 
that a beetle, which Mr. Gentner identifies as Notoxus ta lpa Laf., 
has been riddling the fruit of sweet cherries and doing some injury 
to sour cherries. The owner states that it was riettBflsaryetd^piek 
the fruit of some trees in order to save it . 
PLUM 
PLUM CURCULIO ( Conotrachelus nenuphar Hbst.) 
Maine E. M. Patch (June 27): This insect is reported from Portland 
attacking Governor Wood cherry. 
Connecticut E. M. Ives (June 22): This insect is reported from Meriden attack- 
ing apples and plums, and more abundant than in aa average year; 
frequent sprays ord7A&tingj&' a day or two apart have given some good 
results . 
New York G. E. Smith (July 15): In Orleans County this insect is bad near 
woods and in neglected orchards. 
C. C. Wagoner (July 15): This insect is abundant in general in 
Ulster County. 
Georgia 0. I. Snapp (July 16): No eggs of the second generation have been 
deposited to date, and it now appears as though the entire Georgia 
peach crop will move this year without injury from the second brood 
of curculio larvae. About 4,500 cars of peaches have been shipped 
to date from Georgia this year, and all of the crop has been remark- 
ably free from "worms." The quality of the fruit this year is the 
best that has been grown in Georgia since 1918.
