APPLE GRAIN APHID (Ehorel ociphum p runifoliae Fitch) 
W. M. Davidson (February 26): A heavy infestation of sexual forms 
occurred on apple trees at Vienna in the fall of 1924 and many 
eggs were deposited on twigs and "branches. Unless there is a 
prcnounccd winter-kill extensive infestations may be looked for 
this spring and early summer. 
Herbert Spencer (March 13): An infestation by this insect on "buds 
of apple trees was brought to our. attention. These aphids seem 
somewhat more numerous than usual this spring. I have examined 
a number of twigs and find that most of the aphids are in the 
first or second ins tar. 
E. N. Cory (March 7): This insect was reported attacking apple 
at College Park, and eggs were also hatching on this date. 
H. A. Gossard (March 21 ) : Eggs of the apple grain aphid were 
observed hatching at Wooster on March 10, and at Lisbon on March 
12. Aphis eggs, presumably, chiefly of the species just mention- 
ed, are more abundant this spring than usual at booster. 
ROSY APPLE APHID ( Anuraphis roseus Baker) 
f 
W. J. Schoene (March 16): The first individuals of this species 
were noted on buds at Blacksburg on March 14. 
CODLING MOTH (C arpocapsa romcnella L. ) 
L. Haseman (March 18): Late fall pin worms were unusually numer- 
ous last fall, but careful orchard spraying leas always given good 
commercial control here. 
FRUIT-TREE LEAF- ROLLER ( Cecoecia argyrospila Walk. ) 
W. P. Flint (March 11 ): Egg masses of this insect, which are 
abundant in western Illinois, have given almost 100 per cent 
hatch where kept in the greenhouse. 
Claude lakeland (March 18): There has been a decided weather 
effect on the eggs of the fruit-tree leaf-roller. The- severe 
temperature of last winter is without precedent in this State 
since fruit raising has become an industry, so we have no past 
records with which to make comparison. It is certain that the 
injury from many kinds of insect pests last winter above ground 
will be comparatively light this season. 
TENT CATERPILIAit ( Ma. lac o soma amoricana Fab. ) 
A. I. Bourne (March 25): From such observations as I have been 
able to make thus far in the immediate vicinity, and from reports 
from the Eastern part of the State, there is little indication of 
any let-up in the intensity of the prevalence of the apple tent 
caterpillar, as judged by the egg masses. If anything, here in 
this immediate section around the college, it promises to be 
slightly more abundant than last year.
