J. VJ, Roberts (July 7). "In northwestern Arkansas many trees have 
been killed by the scale and large numbers have been greatly weakened., 
Undoubtedly, this has caused a hyper-susceptibility to certain diseases 
particularly leaf spots." 
EUROPEAN RED MITE ( Paratetranvchus pilosus C. & F .) 
Phillip Gasman (July 2l) . "Heavy rains since the middle of June have 
considerably reduced the numbers of th5.s pest in New Haven County." 
S. W. Frost (July 19). "The red spider has become very evident throug 
out Adams County and is serious in some orchards « Orchards dusted wit 
90-10 or with 2 per cent nicotine dust show no control while plots 
treated with lime-sulphur show very little of the red spider." 
E. J. Newcomer (July 10) . "The orchard red spider is particularly 
abundant in some orchards in the Yakima Valley on pear and prune trees 
and will do considerable damage unless growers are successful in com- 
batting it ."
