-6 7 - 
dormant "buds several days in advance of the rosy aphid. The green 
apple aphid is the most abundant, the grain aphids not so abundant, 
and the rosy aphid infestation of moderate intensity. No aphids have 
as yet hatched in the northern tier of counties. Syrphid eggs are 
moderately abundant in all orchards. 
Kentucky. W. A. Price (April 25) : Green and grain aphids are now abundant 
in orchards in the central part of the State. 
Michigan. Say Hutson (April 20) : Aphids are hatching in southwestern 
Michigan and the few specimens seen indicate that R. prunifoliae 
is the predominant species. 
Washington. E. J. Newcomer (April 21) j The various aiohids attacking apple 
seem to be very scarce at Yakima this spring. It is probable that the 
low temperatures (3° to 5° &.) occurring about the first of last 
November interfered with the deposition of winter eggs, in the case 
of the rosy and green apple aphids, and also killed most of the woolly 
aphids ( Erioc^oma lani;e_rum, Hausra. ) that were above ground. The para- 
• site Aphelinus mali Hald., however, was not entirely killed out, and 
adults have been emerging during the last few days. 
SALT JOSE SCALE ( Aspidiotus pernio iosus Comst.) 
Indiana. J. J. Davis (April 26): Winter mortality of the San Jose scale 
has been very high, but in many localities in the State where the 17- 
year cicada is abundant, insecticide control lias been advised because 
the egg scars left by the cicadas will act as protective places for 
the scales. 
Michigan. Ray Hutson (April 20): Infestations are quite spotted. High 
winter mortality observed in the vicinity of Benton Harbor, Lansing, 
and Muskegon. Specimens from South Haven showed only normal mortality. 
Idaho. C. Wakeland (April 21): Owing to very cold weather late in the 
spring and a sudden change to midsummer temperatures, little dormant 
spraying was done in orchards and cherry trees broke into blossom 
before dormant sprays could be applied. Undoubtedly this situation 
will cause heavy increase of San Jose scale this year, for the insect 
is known to have wintered successfully. 
CODLING MOTH ( Carpocapsa pomonolla L.) 
Delaware. L. A. Stearns (April 20) :two percent of overwintered codling moth 
larvae pupated on this date. 
Georgia. C. H. Alden (April 21): The first codling moth was caught in the 
experimental orchard bait pots at Cornelia on April lb. To date only 
S additional moths have been trapped. The weather has been too cold 
for much moth emergence to date and there has been no egg deposition.
