FEAE PSYLLA ( Psyllia pyri L. ) 
A, I, Bourne (June 20): Because of the cold and stormy weather 
the egg-laying period was unusually long drawn out, so that at 
the time the lime-sulphur application at the cluster-bud stage 
was made, many of the adult psyllas had not completed their egg 
laying. As q result, the control which growers were able to se- 
cure by this application was much lower than usual, so that the 
pear psylla at the present is considerably more abundant than it 
has been for the last few years.

PEACH BORER ( Aeze ria exit; csaSay) 
J. J. Davis (June 2): The peach-tree borer is abundant in orchard' 
'-here no treatment was made last fall. Many orchards are there-

the paradichlorobenzene treatment. (June 24) Many peach orchards 
which did not receive 'the paradichlorobenzene last fall are heav- 
ily infested now.

PLUM CURCULIO (Co notrachelus nenuphar Hbst. ) 
E. C. Bishopp (June 25): The plum curculio has caused considera- 
ble loss this spring by attacking both plums and peaches. In 
some instances about 15 per cent of the fruit has been infested.
