PEA APHID ( Illinoia pisi Kalt J? 
Arizona 0* L. Barnes (February 23): A few specimens of aphids were 
found on alfalfa on February 21, at Phoenix. These aphids were 
rather large, light green, and slender. I am of the opinion

in the fields examined* 
FRUIT INSECTS 
APPLE 
.. ..... APHIIDAE 
Pennsylvania H* E* Hodgkiss (February 15): Aphid eggs are very abundant, 
not only on water sprouts but on fruit spurs, and there seems 
to be but a very small percentage of the eggs collapsed at 
the present time. We are expecting a renewal of the outbreak 
of three years ago, since this condition has not appeared at 
all on the trees since 1925. 
West Virginia W* E* Rumsey (February 26): Aphid eggs on apples are rather 
common about Morgantown*

California Monthly News Letter, Los Angeles County Horticultural Commission, 
Volume 11, No. 2, February 15: Antelope Valley pear growers will 
attempt a night campaign against the ravagos of the codlingcmoth 
this spring by mounting high-powered lights on their spray 
rigs. Pear growers in the Valley have for several years been 
faced with the problem of covering a large acreage for codlimg moth 
control in a relatively short period. The period during whitih 
good control can be had with the calyx spray usually does nrti 
extend over ten days or two weeks and because there are not 
enough rigs in the Valley to thoroughly cover the orchards <iux- 
ing this time there have been many instances of wormy fruit.
