Pennsylvania 
West Virginia 
North Carolina 
H. E. Hodgkiss (February 25): Dae San Jose scale increased 
abundantly in 1931 and is a paramount- pest in the Cumberland 
Valley region and ir the "-est err.- tier counties of Pennsylvania. 
L. M. Peairs (February 24): The San Jose scale is more 
abundant than usual at Morgantprn and Martinsburg. 
R. W. Leiby (February 20): The -inter survival at Raleigh 
appears to be high. Crawlers "are- observed on February 8, 
Hiich might indicate an extra" generation 'this year. Such 
early activity of cra-lors is unusual for the Moore County 
section. 
Georgia 
Florida 
0. I. Snapp (January 20): The infestation at Fort Valley 
this "inter is greater than it has been -for many years. The 
very mild vintcr has permitted scale reproduction to continue 
uninterrupted. The omission of the dormant spray by some 
growers during recent years has also contributed to the 
increased infestation. There has not been the usual scale 
mortality from lo^ temperatures this "inter, and the percent- 
age of live scale is unusually high. Of 9,500 scales examined, 
8,605, or 90 per cent, ^ere alive. 
C. H. ALden (February 19): The San Jose scale is very 
abundant at Cornelia; heavy infestation on both peach and apple.

scale is moderately abundant in northern and vestern Florida, 
on poach and plum.

through the winter with one of the lowest mortalities on record. 
A few recent examinations show 60 to 70 per cent of the scale 
alive. 
Michigan 
Missouri 
R. H. Pettit (February 23): The San Jose scale is very 
plentiful. 
L. Haseman {February 22): The San Jose scale bred until
