EUROPEAN RED MITE ( Paratetrenychus pilosus Can, & Fanz. ) 
Ohio E*-.W.» Mendenhall (February 23): I find the eggs of the European 
red mite on apple trees in the southwestern part of the State 
quite had, especially where trees are neglected and not sprayed, 
SAN JOSE SCALE ( Aspidiotu s perniciosus Corns t.) 
Virginia W» S, Ahhott (February 16): Appears to be increasing in this 
vicinity (Vienna). 
Georgia E. Lee Wo r sham (February 10): It may be of interest to you to 
know that the cold weather we had in January was responsible 
for reducing the San Jose scale in the commercial orchards in 
middle and northern Georgia from 75 to 95 per cent. In the 
Cornelia district w e were unable to find enough scale in any 
of the orchards for our experimental work, 
Ohio E» 7* Mendenhall (February 23): I find the farm orchards where 
therms is not much care given badly infested with the San Jose 
scale. Where periodical sprayings are carried on the scale is 
held pretty well "in check. 
Illinois S» Cv Chandler (February 21) ; Examination of unsp rayed scale 
on January 20 showed about 60 per cent of the scale in the 
overwintering stage to be dead. Some injury to peach trees has 
resulted from fall applications of dormant spray from both lime 
sulphur and oil, the injury by the oil being slightly more 
severe than that caused by lime sulphur. 
Missouri L. Haseman (February 24); From recent counts made in connection 
with some oil- spray tests at Columbia, Mo. , it has been found 
that practically 99 per cent of the scales have been killed by 
winter conditions combined with parasitism. The records from 
untreated trees sho™ a little better than 1 per cent living 
scale, 
APPLE 
WOOLLY APPLE APHID ( Er ipso ma lanigerum Hausm, ) 
Missouri L* Haseman (February 24): In southern Missouri during the past 
season the woolly aphis was unusually abundant and from recent 
inspection surveys in the Marionville district it is found that 
overwintering signs of the aphis ahow promise of a heavy in- 
festation this coming year, 
COLLING MOTH ( Carpocapsa ppmonella L, ) 
Illinois W, P, Flint (February 12): Examinations of overwintering larvae 
made by members of the Survey staff in southern, eastern, and 
westcentral Illinois show that in southern Illinois approximately 
20 per cent of the larvae have died during hibernation, while in
