New Jersey, Thomas J. Headlee (March 1^}:-. Very interestingly it appears 
that tHe overwintering eggs of the common apnle aphids, rosy, 
green, and oat, are scarce. 
Virginia W« S. Hbugh (March 19)* Aphid es-gs on apple trees are few 
in number in this section (Winchester). The eggs are more 
difficult to find this season than at any time in the past four 
years. 
L. R« Cagle (March 19) : I have made a number of careful searches 
in different orchards in Leesburg, and as yet I have not found 
an aphid egg. 
L. Haseman (March 24): Apnle aphids in central Missouri failed 
to get "back to apples to' deposit their eggs last fall. At this 
time eggs are extremely difficult to find. 
APPLE APHID ( Aphis pomi DeG.) 
Claude Wakeland (March 19): On March 24, 1925, I observed the 
first eggs of the apple aphid hatched. The date of the first 
observation of nearly emerged aphids of this species this year 
was March 3. • ■ • • 
WCOLLY APPLE APHID ( Eriosoma lani^erura • Hausm. ) 
Mississippi R. W„ Harned (March 27): The woolly apple aphid on apple 
was received on January 19 from Stanton, on February 4 from 
Taylor, and on February 15 from Helena and Holly Springs. The 
aphids have all been determined by Mr. A. L. Haroner. 
CODLING MOTH (Carpocapsa pomonel la L.) ' 
L* Haseman (March 24): The codling moth was especially abundant 
in the southern half of the State last year and with the rather 
open winter, we shall expect serious trouble this coming summer. 
In central and northern Missouri the pest was less serious. 
EASTERN TENT CaTERPILLaR ( Mai a co soma americana Fab . ) 
A.. I. Bourne (March 22); 77e have received a report from one 
of our collaborators in Harvard, also from Mr. Farrar of South 
Lincoln, that + ent caterpillars in that section are apparently 
Ices numerous than last year. T7e have been expecting that the 
first indications of a let-up for the present v^ave of abundance 
would be reported from that • section of the State. So far as the 
'••est em section of the State is concerned, apparently it is mere 
abundant than last year. 
" York E, P. Felt (March 27): There has been considerable local in- 
terest in the southeastern part of the State and en Long Island 
in collecting and destroying eggs! of the arnle tent caterpillar. 
Ls is mostly the "*ork of school children, working for a moderate 
compensation and stimulated* by prices for the greatest number
