New York. B. P. Pelt (May 18) . "Currant worms are about l/3 grown, at Scotia, 
Saratoga County." r 
C. R; Crosby & Assistants report as doing damage in Suffolk end Ulster 
Counties.

RASPBERRY 
RASPBERRY FRUIT WORM ( Byturus unicolor Say) 
Conneoti- 3. H. Walden .(May 20) . "Very abundant on each of three visits to Bast 
cut. Haven, is now laying egg3." 
Hew York. B. P. Felt (May 13). "Is locally abundant and very injurious ;to raspberry 
plantings in the vicinity of Milton and Marlboro, Ulster County, and this 
season has already caused serious lossos to the prospective berry crop. 
This insect is credited with being en important factor in bringing . about 
the reduction in area devoted to this fruit. A very considerable percent- 
age of the blossoms had been destroyed by May 13 and the beetles were 
still active and were controlled to only a relatively 3light degree by 
repeated poison applications or spraying with a tobacco preparation." 
P. J. Parrott (May 16). "Observed in small numbers in Ontario County." 
C. R_ Crosby & Assistants. "First noticed on May 12 and very numerous on 
May 22 in Ulster County." 
MISCELLANEOUS RASPBERRY INSECTS 
Monophadnoides rubi Harris 
Conneoti- B. H, Walden (May 20) . Present in every plantation visited in New Haven 
out. East Haven and North Bradford. Adults first observed April 16 and 
newly hatched larvae at New Haven April 27. 
Bembecia marginata Harris 
Oregaa. a. L. Lovett (May 16). "Reports from Washington and Lane Counties of 
serious injury to loganberry arid raspberry plantings by the crown borer 
are at hand. Probably the climatic conditions have served to seriously de- 
vitalize the plants to such an extent as to accentuate the injury -by the 
borers." 
BLACKBERRY 
ROSE CURCULIO ( Rhynchites bicolor Fab.) 
Oregon ^ L( LQVQtt (j£ 3 y 12.). "The rose curculio is appearing on the buds of I 
small fruits, principally blackberries in the vicinity of Portland.' The 
beetles injure the blossom buds by feeding and oviposition punctures. The 
buds wilt and never open. The same injury occurred in 1912 and 1913 but 
has been almost negligible since that time.
