cowpea curculio active in hibernation cage March 10.

L. Haseman (March 23): The usual early-season dispersal of 
the common red smder, which on examination see-ns to be the 
co*rrnon clover red spider, is attracting attention. Complaints 
regarding it show that it is unusually abundant crawling on 
the sunny sides of buildings, as well as in homes.

A. I. Bourne (March 25): Orchard plant lice appear to be com- 
paratively scarce quite generally over, the State. 
Thos. J. Headlce (March 5): Aphid eggs are less abundant than 
last year but I should also say that ladybeetles are likewise 
less abundant and that the chances of a plant-louse outbreak, 
provided favorable weather conditions exist in the spring, are 
better than for two or three years past.

abundant. Eggs of the green apple aphid (Ap_hi_s t>om EeG-, ) have 
been noted.
