H.XT. Worthley (October 26): The San Jose scale is moderately 
abundant at State College. This insect is seen on apple fruits 
and is more numerous than in 1930. 
L. A. Stearns (October 23): The San Jose scale is generally 
on the increase. 
0. I. Snapp (October 20): Infestation has rapidly increased 
during the warm September and early October at Fort Valley 
until now it is heavier than during an average year. 
J. R. Watson (October 25): The San Jose scale is perhaps 
more abundant than usual for October, as dry weather has .■ 
checked the entomogenous fungi. 
T. H. Parks (October 24): The San Jose scale was decidedly 
more abundant this year than it has been for several years. 
J. J. Davis (October 24): The San Jose scale is unusually 
abundant, especially in the southern half of the State. The 
mild winter of 1930-31 was favorable for successful hibernation 
and the favorable and long- season has enabled them to increase 
to very threatening numbers. 
J. H. Bigger (October 13): The San Jose scale is very 
abundant, greatly increased in 1931. 
E. L. Chambers (October 26): Several new isolated infestations 
not widely distributed in southern Wisconsin were discovered 
in Waterloo, Ft. Atkinson, Glen Flora, and Waukesha, all 
apparently spread on uninspected nursery stock from Infested 
towns. 
L. Haseman (October 22): The San Jose scale has built up 
seriously in the southeastern part of the State in some orchards. 
C. Lyle and assistants (October): This insect is unusually 
abundant over practically the entire State, being particularly 
noticeable on sand pears, which were reported as being in 
bloom on October 20 in the southern part of the State. 
(Abstract, J.A.H.) 
APPLE MAGGOT ( Rhagoletis pomonella Walsh.) 
C. R. Phipps (October 26): The apple maggot is unusually 
abundant and destructive. 
A. I. Bourne (October 26): The apple maggot caused more 
injury than was the case last year, throughout the State. 
The flies showed a tendency to emerge later than usual and 
persisted through late August and into early September.
