Illinois ',7. p. Flint: Aphid eggs have "been hatching for some time in 
orchards in the southern end of the State, the sequence of the 
different species being that usually found, eggs of the 
ap^le—ow in aphid hatching about one week before those of the 
ror;y, or the green aphid. Up to the present time, examinations 
in central and southern Illinois orchard districts have 
shown but fev; of the green end rosy species present. The grain 
aphid is very abundant. In western Illinois, a slightly higher 
percentage of the green aphid has been found, but the numbers 
appearing in this section of the State are not great enough to 
cause expectation of serious injury. Syrphid fly larvae are 
present in large number ■,. 
Missouri L. Hasenian (April 23): The plant-lice began hatching the first 
irT eek in April and come orchards showed heavy infestation.

invested orchards, they gave excellent control of the young 
lice.
