are still emerging in experimental cages, although freezing temperatures 
have occurred. Excellent control was obtained in commercial orchards. 
Uns prayed trees in general are infested. 
West Virginia. L. M. Peairs (October 28): The apple maggot was very abundant 
in an orchard at French Creek. I saw only the fag-end of the infestation, 
but a competent entomologist assures me of the presence of the maggots over 
a considerable period late in the summer. He also stated that adults were 
numerous enough in the orchard to attract attention. 
APPLE APHID (Aphis pomi Deg. ) ' 
Maine. F. H. Lathrop (October 20): Dry weather late in the summer caused a 
great .reduction in the numbers of green aphids on apple trees in Monmouth, 
Kennebec County. Colonies are now -difficult to find. Eggs were being 
deposited on experimental trees late in September and in October. 
ROSY APPLE APHID ( Anuraphis roseus Baker) 
Virginia. W. S. Hough (October 23): This insect caused more damage in May and 
June in northern Virginia than has been observed since our last aphid year, 
■'1953. At present fall migrants from plantain to apple are moderately num- 
erous in all orchards examined. 
LEAFHOPPERS ( Cicadellidae ) 
Massachusetts. A. I. Bourne (October 19): The late brood of white apple leaf- 
hopper (Typhlocyba pomaria' McAtee) was very abundant generally over the 
State, and -many growers had considerable difficulty in checking them. 
Missouri. L. Has email (October 22): Twt or three flights of leafhoppers occurred 
at Columbia around the middle of October, representing a number of diff- 
erent species. Flights have continued a little later than usual; however, 
'-'with most fruit, shade, and forest trees still carrying green foliage, it 
has been possible for leafhoppers to work later than usual. 
SAN JOSE SCALE ( Aspidiotus pernioiuBus Corns t. ) 
Virginia. W. S. Hough (October 23): Very scarce. Less prevalent in northern 
Virginia. on .apple than has been observed for many years, 
Georgia. C H. Alden (October 18): Adults moderately abundant in Cornelia on 
peach and some crawlers noted. Light infestation on apple wood and a few 
scales found .on apples being harvested. 
Georgia. 0. I. Snepp (October 21): Frequent heavy rains in August retarded 
the infestation which was, building up rapidly in July at Fort Valley, cen- 
tral Georgia. The" infestation on poach trees is now somewhat less than 
that of an average year. 
Illinois. W. P. Flint (October 21): The weather of the early fall was quite
