considerable abundance in orchards throughout the State. There 
appears to be a fairly heavy infestation, generally. 
0. I. Snapp (May 23): The infestation on apple trees at

infestation. 
ROSY APPLE APHID ( Anur aphis roseus Baker) 
N. Y. State Coll. Agr., Weekly News Letter (May): During 
the first week in May heavy infestations were observed in 
Yates, Ontario, Erie, Niagara, and other lake counties.

but doing no commercial damage. A rainy period early in the 
month materially checked these insects throughout the State. 
By' the middle of the month they were again on the increase, 
and by the third week in the month were threatening to do some 
damage in the western part of the State. (Abstract, J.A.H.) 
J. R. Stear (May 24): Rosy aphids are very abundant at

light to date and very spotty.
