one orchard which was defoliated by then last year at 
Skaneateles in Onondaga County." 
C. R. Crosby and assistants. "Quite abundant in Genesee, 
Seneca, Orleans, and Monroe Counties. The outbreak is associated 
with that of the fall cankerworm."

APPLE RED BUG ( Heterocordvlus malinus Reut . ) 
New York E, P. Felt (May 24). "Red bugs are not noticeably abundant in 
southern Columbia County this year." 
D. D. Ward (May 20). "One orchard badly infested in Onondaga 
County." 
Pennsylvania S. W. Frost (June 14). "We have been using nicotine dust in 
Adams County with great success against red bugs . The 
percentage of kill has been approximately the same as that 
secured by nicotine sulphate in the spray solution. We 
found, however, that the action of the dust is much quicker. 
We have also used derris in both the liquid and powder forms 
against red bugs and other insects. The solution worked as 
effectively as nicotine sulphate but we did not succeed in 
getting control with the powder form when used in solution."
