PLUM 
WEST INDIA!* PEACH SCALE ( Aulaoaspis pentagona Targ..) 
J. M. Robinson (March 10): Prom Spring Hill we have received a 
pi-urn twig entirely covered with the ^est Indian peach scale. This 
insect has been considered along with the San Jose scale as one 
of the most serious pests of fruit trees in Alabama. However, 
we do not have definite information to confirm this at the present 
time. 
RUSTY PLUM APHID ( Hysteroneura setariae Thomas) 
Oliver I. Snapp and assistants (March 26): As usual the rusty- 
brown plum aphid is very abundant on plum trees at Fort Valley in 
home orchards. In some cases this aphid has prevented fruit to 
set. 
X M. Mingee (March 24); I observed the brown plum aphid on the 
nation plum trees. Some trees were heavily infested but were 
being preyed on "oy the adults and larvae of lady-bugs. 
CLOVER MITE ( Bryobia prcetiosa Koch) 
T. D. Urbahns (March 15): This mite was hatching in abundance 
from overwintering eggs on the trees and attacking the unfolding 
buds of prunes and almonds. Mary of the eggs still remained un- 
hatched on the trees at this date. 
RASPBERRY 
Mis 
souri 
RASPBERRY-CANE BORER ( Oberoa bimaculata 01 i v. ) 
L. Haseman (March 18): At Columbia this little borer has prac- 
tically ruined some raspberry patches, and while the pest shows 
signs of very heavy parasitism we may expect trouble from it this 
summer. It has never caused trouble before in the State, to my 
knowledge. 
Missouri 
CRAPE ' 
CRAPE LEAPHOPPER ( Erythroneura comes Say) 
L. Haseman (March 18): We had a bad season with them last year 
and they have always gone through the winter safely with us, so 
we are sure to have a heavy infestation this summer. Our grape 
growers are turning to grape spraying fast and are including sprays 
for the leaf hoppers.
