a few orchards in Orleans County, while in Genesee County they 
were found generally serious in Bergen. They are slightly 
more common than last year in Monroe County. 
R. W. Leiby: This insect has beai increasingly injurious in the 
commercial sandhill section on peach trees during the past 
two years. Trees that received two applications of lime- 
sulphur at standard strength during the same winter continue to 
show heavy infestation. An unusual number of parasitic emergence 
holes are now prevalent. 
Oliver I. Snapp (June 20): The general scale infestation in the 
Georgia Peach Belt is still moderately heavy. Liquid lime-sulphur 
has apparently given only fairly good results in controlling 
scales. The control is excellent in experimental orchards where 
lubricating -oil emulsions were used. 
S. B. Eracker (June 1): Extensive spraying campaigns at 
Whitewater and Rochester seem to have nearly eliminated the 
: San Jose scale. Infestation is slight at the remaining three or 
four infestation centers. Spread in a park at LaCrosse caused a 
hew thorough treatment. 
OYSTER-SHELL SCALE ( Lepidosaphes ulmi L.) 
Massachusetts A. I. Bourne (June 23): The oyster-shell scale young made their 
appearance about the 30th of May to the first of June. We find 
there was considerable evidence of winterkilling, so that the 
pest was much reduced in numbers, particularly in this immediate 
region (Amherst) and is present in about normal numbers.

New York C. R. Crosby and assistants: This scale was quite prevalent 
throughout Ontario County. In Genesee County no heavy infestation 
was found, while in Orleans County it was not bad except in 
unsprayed orchards. 
Indiana J. J. Davis (June 15): The banded oyster-shell scale began hatching 
at Ea Fayette on June 3» &&& "by June ID they had all hatched? 
in fact most of them hatched within three or four days after the 
first young were noticed. 
Wisconsin U. C, Boss (May 25): This insect has been reported as attacking 
the apple at Oshkosh. 
HALE-WINGED GEOMETER (Phigalia titea Cramer) 
New York C. R. Crosby and assistants: In Rockland County the half-winged 
geometer is still very plentiful, feeding slightly on the young 
trees. Caterpillars ofoseveral sizes are common on young apple
