DECIDUOUS-FRUIT INSECTS 
A. L. Quaintance, in Charge 
G. F. Moznette, in charge of pecan-insect investigations, with 
headquarters at Albany, Ga., and T. L. Bissell, of the pecan—insect 
laboratory at Experiment, Ga., attended the twenty-fourth annual con— 
vention of the Georgia-Florida Pecan Growers Association, April 18 and 
19. Mr. Moznette presented a paper entitled "Relative efficiency of 
lead arsenate and calcium arsenate in controlling the pecan leaf case— 
bearer," and Mr. Bissell gave one entitled "Some facts about the pecan™ 
weevil." 
Contributions from the Japanese-Beetle Laboratory 
On May 5 Dr. R. W. Glaser, of the Rockefeller Institute, Prince— 
ton, N. J., visited the Laboratory. He is much interested in the par— 
asitic nematodes of Popillia japonia, and spent a large part of his 
time in field studies of larvae of this beetle in the Haddonfield dis— 
trict. 
On May 29 C. QO. Eddy, of Clemson College, S. C., visited the Lab— 
oratory, and examined its equipment with much interest.

FOREST INSECTS 
F. C. Craighead, in Charge 
Doctor Craighead spent May 14, 15, and 16 with Messrs. E. E. Car- 
ter, M. W. Thompson and A. L. Nelson, of the Forest Service, and L. G. 
Baumhofer, formerly with the Bureau of Entomology, on the Nebraska Na— 
tional Forest, in a field examination of the plantations at Halsey. 
The improved appearance of the yellow—pine trees resulting from the de- 
crease in infestation of the tip moth brought about by the introduction 
of the parasite Campoplex was most gratifying. It is hoped that the 
parasite will bring about sufficient control to permit of the growth 
of this important species of yellow pine in the vicinity of Halsey. 
Plans for carrying out control work against infestation by the pitch 
moth in jack pine were considered and will probably be put into effect 
next fall. 
Doctor Craighead spent May 27 at the Gipsy~Moth Laboratory, con- 
ferring with C. W. Collins on plans for the coming summer's progran. 
This division has recently, in cooperation with the Extension 
Service, prepared a film strip on the control of subterranean termites 
attacking the woodwork of buildings. We believe that this strip will 
prove very useful to State entomologists and other entomologists who 
are called upon to remedy conditions where termites have attacked build— 
ings. The strip will be ready in the near future.
