APHIDS (Aphiidae) 
H. E. Kodgkiss (February 24): Bggs of the rosy apple 
aphid ( Anur aphis roseus Baker-) appear to he v:e 11 distributed 
on the blossom spurs over the trees and very many on water 
■sprouts. This condition is similar to that which occurred 
in the fall of 1929 and which indicated the rosy aphid out- 
break of 1930. I am looking for an unusual abundance of this 
aphid this spring on account of these conditions. 
M. F. Jones (March 2): Thile on a trip to Blacksburg, 
February 29, we examined an orchard near the station. V. r e 
found that aphid eggs were so scarce that nicotine will be 
omitted from the spray this spring. There was no sign of 
the eggs hatching. 
" SCAL3S (Coccidae) 
H. C. Severin (February 19): The scale insects have 
passed the winter very successfully. 
R. B. Been (February 25): Scale insects on peach and 
apple trees have been observed in very large numbers at 
Tupelo. Apparently a very large number passed the mild 
winter and an eno.rmous number of trees will be injured and 
killed where proper spraying is not practiced. 
'•'m. V/. Baker (January and February): The young of 
Lecanium sp. are very numerous on fruit trees and many 
native shrubs around Puyrllup, Sumner, Tacoma, Fairfax, and 
Fatonville, while at Bellevue, where they were very abundant 
last year scales are rather scarce. None were found while 
a number of trees and native shrubs on Bainbridge Island 
were being examined. 
SAN JO SB SCALE ( Asp-idiot Us perniciosus Comst.) 
H. S. Hodgkiss (February 24): The San Jose scale i3 even 
more abundant than was anticipated and in the Cumberland 
Valley region some orchards are in as bad condition as 
orchards were in the first years of the San Jose scale out- 
break.
