high for Vincennes, but lower than last year. Counts of 8,000 
scales from a peach orchard in vigorous condition showed in early- 
March a mortality of 42.6 per cent. Counts, made April 27, of 
material from a long-standing infestation in an apple orchard 
in poor condition showed 7? per cent mortality. 
J. W, McColloch (April 15): Poach twigs heavily encrusted with 
scale were received from Coat?, with the information that tine 
entire trees were in a similar condition. 
TaHNISHED PLaNT 3TJC- (Lygus uratensis L.) 
Bennet A» Porter (April 27): At ?incennes this species is present 
in small numbers in all peach orchards around the buds, "blossoms, 
and newly set peaches. It is much less numerous than it was 
last year at this time.

was jarred from peach trees at our Aberdeen peach insect labora- 
tory by J. A» Harris or April U. This is about 17 days later 
than the season of 1925 2 nd about 1C days later than the average

Oliver I. Snapp (April 20): Indications point to a curculio 
infestation lighter than normal . Very few "stung" peaches have 
been noted to date at Port Valley. Spring has been unusually 
cool, and this may be keeping the adults in hibernation longer 
than usual. These conditions have caused the growers to omit 
a part of the program for curculio suppression. (April 21): 
A number of eggs and one larva 3 °? 4 days old were found 
in small peaches in ar orchard near Port Valley today. Curculio 
oviposition is later this year than normally. Usually only one 
generation occurs when the overwintered females are late in be- 
ginning to ovircsit. 
PEACH T'.TIG BORES f Ana.rsia lineatella Zell. ) 
Oliver I. Snapp (April l6) : The first report of injury to new 
growth of young peach trees by this insect was received today 
from K. C. Haynes of Canton. The peach twig borer is common in^ 
this State, but is seldom of economic importance as a reach pest. 
PEACH 3GRER ( Aeg^ria exitiosa Say) 
Oliver I. Snapp (April 20): Paraiichlorobenzene has again injured 
1,2, and 3 year" old peach trees in experimental orchards in this 
latitude. " Some injury has also resulted this year from the use 
of paradichlorooenzenc around U-year-old trees. Trees above four
