ever obtained on this insect attacking rye; in fact I do not 
recall its ever having "been found injuring this crop "before. 
Our correspondent ha^s advised us that it attacks nothing 
except Rosen rye, which is a ne" variety for that section. 
FRUIT INSECTS 
APPLE 
GREEN APPLE APHID ( Aphis pomi DeG.) 
Massachusetts A. I. Bourne (June 23): Aphids were about normally abundant 
^the last of May and the first of June in unsprayed orchards, 
but were held in absolute control in the blocks where careful 
spraying was done. Reports indicate that aphid: occurrence 
is much less than is normally the case and they are being 
taken care of very well by the Goccinellids. 
Connecticut W. H. Darrow (June): Lldylbug larvae and another small downy 
covered worm are apparently exterminating the aphids in certain 
orchards. 
C. D, Clark (June 15): This insect is reported from Wilton 
and Greenwich, abundance as compared with an average year 
being less. In Wilton, larvae of ladybeetles are abundant. 
New York C. R. Crosby and assistants: Infestation was rather severe 
early in the month, but heavy rains have reduced the outbreak 
to a negligible factor for this season. 
Pennsylvania 
Ohio 
S. W. Frost (June 8): The green apple aphid has not been 
found serious in Adams County this season. It has become 
more numerous during the past few weeks, however. 
E. W. Mendenhall (June 12): Abundance of green leaf aphids 
or plant -lice is far greater than last year on apple trees 
in this section and they seem to be hard to control. There 
are a number of commercial apple: .orchards in this locality. 
Connecticut 
New York 
ROSY APPLE APHID (Anuraphis roseutr Baker ) 
W. E. Britton and Philip Garman (June 12): This insect is not 
numerous enough to be serious. I believe it is generally 
much less abundant in this State than last year. It has been 
reported from Greenwich, Deep River, and Haddam and is more 
abundant than in an average year in this locality. 
C. R. Crosby and assistants: The rosy apple aphid is over the 
appl e -growing section, doing serious damage in Oswego and 
parts of Orleans Counties.
