Spokesman Review (September 28): *7oira damage is running high in 
the crop of apples at Brewster, according to N.'^7. Mogge, manager 
, t • -?te""K "?ix:f* F c ,nge. One grower bougnt 9CC apple 
Doxes and packed 115, nearly 8C per cent of the fruit being worm- 
dan aged. 
E. J. Newcomer (October 20 ) : In 1920 and 1921 several species cf 
codling moth parasites were introduced intc the Yakima Valley from 
the eastern United States. One of these, Ascogaster carpocapsae 
Vier., has become established, and a few specimens were recovered 
in 1923 from the orchard in which introductions were made. In 
1924, this orchard was cut down, but eight trees were banded in 
an orchard about a quarter of a mile west. A few parasitized 
worms were found during July, and the numoer increased during the 
latter part of the surer. Of 2,222 worms collected from August 1 
to October 20, 34fc were parasitized, or 15.7 per cent. Forty 
adult As cog est er emerged during the summer, the rest hibernating. 
These will be released in other orchards in the spring of 1925. 
SAN JOSE SCALE ( As o idiot us perniciosus Comst.) 
Indiana J.J. Davis (October 22): The San Jose scale situation is well 
in hand in Indiana. The absence of scale on fruit at the State 
Fair this year was a good indicator of the conditions found in 
the field. The general use of the oil emulsions and other effec- 
tive scale controls are responsible for this cleanup as evidenced 
by the fact that .orchards not properly treated are heavily infested 
with the scale. 
■ APPLE J'AGGOT (R hajoletis pomonplla Walsh,) 
New York C. R. Crosby (September 29): At Fassena this insect was attacking 
apple. 
EUROPEAN PUD MITE ( Paratetranychus piles us C. A F.) 
Connecticut Philip Gam an (Octooer 24): Attacking apple, but seems to be less 
abundant than for several seasons. 
Washington E. J. Newcomer (September 23): This species has oeen found in 
orchards throughout north- central Washington. At Kelowna, B. C., 
a very severe infestation was found August 29 in a pear orchard. 
Predacious enemies appeared to oe absent in this orchard, and the 
infestation was as severe as it is in June farther south. 
PEARS 
PLUM CURCULIO ( Conor rachelu s nenuonar Hbst.) 
r ew York C. R. Crosby (October 6): Infested pears received from Penn Yan.
