Weekly News Letter, N. Y. State Coll. Agr. (April): 
During the first week in April aphids were observed in both 
the Hudson River Valley and Lake fruit belts, and by the 
middle of the month they were quite generally observed 
although they do not appear to be so numerous as last year, 
being mostly the apple grain aphid and the apple aphid. 
There were very few rosy aphids observed, although in 
Ulster County they were very conspicuous by end of month. 
>7. J. Schoene (April 21): All three species of aphids, 
now found in apple orchards, are present in very small 
numbers this year. It is assumed that this scarcity of 
aphids is due to an early freeze which destroyed the foliage 
before the overwintering eggs were deposited. 
J. J. Davis (March 31): Apple aphids (apparently both 
Rhopalosjphum prunif ollae and Aphi s pomi ) were hatching 
March 10 at Mitchell according to Steiner's observations. 
Apparently some had hatched the 8th and 9th. Buds were not 
showing green at the time and for about a week (at least until 
the 15th) many of the young starved to death. 
S. C. Chandler (April 15): There is a scarcity of fruit aphids 
but all three species were found on apple in southern Illinois. 
R. H. Pettit (April): Apple aphids are hatching everywhere. 
L. Baseman and P. H. Johnson (April 22): The fruit aphids 
are reported as moderately abundant at Columbia. Not in- 
creasing seriously from April 15 to April 22. 
G. F.Knowlton (April 19): The fruit aphids are scarce 
on apple and plum in BoX'EJderand Cache Counties. 
'APPLE APHID ( Aphid pomi DeS. ) 
P. R. Lowry (April 15): The green apple aphid eggs B< 
about normal in abundance in the southern part of the State. 
No hatching yet. 
Harold L. Bailey (April 13): Moderately abundant in
