LINDEN AND MAPLE 
LINDEN LACEBUG ( Garganhia tiliae ralsh) 
J. J. Davis (August 27): The linden lacebug was observed 
very abundant and destructive to lindens at Louisville the 
last of July. 
COTTONY MAPLE' SCALE ( Fulvinaria vitis L.)

broken out several times on lindens and maples at Columbus. 
PINE 
SOUTHERN PINE BEETLE ( lendroctonus frontalis Zimm.) 
North Carolina R. A. St. George (August 5): This insect attacked second- 
growth shortleaf pines near the Bent Creek laboratory of the 
Pisgah National Forest, the first week of July. Trees from 
2-| to 15 inches thick and from 20 to 40 feet high were at- 
tacked. This infestation seerr.s to show correl?tion between 
abundance of beetles and weather conditions. A heavy brood 
overwintered and a big spring emergence was anticipated, but 
excess of rainfall from February to May caused hervy mortality 
by drowning the beetles in the galleries. During June and 
e^rly July the rainfall was reduced to normal followed bj 
deficiency in late July, which possibly cnused the above at- 
tack. Dying pines have been reported in several States in 
the southeastern and southern sections during July. Hyrr.en- 
opterous parasites have been very abundant ovipositing in 
the beetle larvae and this will result in their death -hen 
the parasite Larvae mature.
