APPLE FLEA ".7EEVIL ( Qrchestes pallicornis Say) 
T. H. Parker (May 25): The apple flea weevil is becoming a 
serious apple pest in several commercial orchards in central 
and southcentral Ohio. It has increased rapidly the past two 
years and has been feeding on the buds and leaves for the past 
six weeks. Regular sprays do not check it. Many larvae have 
now pupated in the mines in the leaves "and such leaves appear 
as though scorched. Injury has been serious in only certain 
orchards of each county, and these orchards are under the sod 
mulch system.

cause more loss in southern and southwestern Idaho this season

entirely.
