PECAN 
PECAN PHYLLOXERA ( Phylloxera spp.) 
R. W. Harned (June 17). "Considerable attention has been 
attracted to phylloxera galls on pecan this spring. Apparently 
these insects have caused an extraordinarily large number of 
galls this season. Mr. T. L. Guyton of Harrisburg, Pas, has 
identified four species of Phylloxera among the specimens sent 
to him for determination. These are as follows: P. f oveola . 
P. devastatrix , P. perniciosa T and P. caryaocaulia ."

Mississippi R. W. Harned (June 17). "Adults of the fall webworm were observed 
ovipositing on pecan leaves in considerable numbers at the Agri- 
cultural College as early as May 25. The indications are that 
these insects will be very numerous this year, probably more 
abundant than for several years. We believe that they are more 
numerous at the present time than we have ever noticed them this 
yearly in the season."
