in small orchards at Pompton." 
Ohio H. A. Gossard (April 27). "This insect appeared quite 
numerously in many orchards well scattered over the State . I 
noted a good many at Chill ico the April 5 *'hen ohe bloom had 
just reached the pink stage. In cen-c.r3.-l Ohio they wore 
sufficiently numerous in an orchard at Westerville so that 
nicotine sulphate was added to the spray. Syrphus-fly larvae 
appearing raraerously about the middle of April were a check 
to aphid multiplication,"

year. None rons reports and spoc.iif.ens ha - ^ been received from 
all parts of the State, beginning in the southern end of the

tins, the last reports coming from the northern end of the 
State."

entire State. Sjnce coming to Missouri I have never seen the 
winter e-gs of this aphis as abundant as they are this winter. 
From here south the egga are hatching and some fruit growers 
from the southern paot of the State :*eport the young lice as 
cc?xple-iely encrusting the expafriaisig buds. Shey have been 
hatching at Colombia for tho past week and sene of the trees 
are also very heavily infeswd."
