Cigar case bearer (Coleophora fletcherella Fern.).This insect vvas responsible last spring for very severe injuries to anumber of orchards at South Byron and vicinity. An examinationof conditions early in June showed that a considerable proportionof the foliage was badly damaged and would drop within a fewweeks. The operations of this insect were so severe in some placesas to give the trees a brownish appearance when viewed from Fig. 13 Work of cigar case bearer, a, showing the spotted character of earlier work;b, leaf with the parenchyma entirely destroyed; c, a portion more enlarged. (Original) An examination in the fall showed that this species was ratherabundant at Albion and promises to cause considerable injury an-other spring unless controlled by timely spraying. The cigar casebearer was by far the more abundant though a few specimens ofthe pistol case bearer, Coleophora m a 1 i v o r e 11 a Riley,were also present in the orchard. Both of these insects are amen-able to the same treatment, namely, thorough spra_\-ing with anarsenical poison at the time the young leaves apj^ear in the is important that the a])plication be made early, otherwise it maybe difficult to destro\ the voracious caterpillars before the buds havebeen seriously injured. 48 NEW YORK STATE MUSEUM Blister mite (Eriophyes pyri Nal.).
