Excerpt from Report of the Entomological Department of the New Jersey Agricultural College Experiment Station: For the Year 1899 The season of 1899 was characterized in the matter of climate by a long drought in late spring and early summer, and by abundant rains in most localities later on. The spring drought, joining to the unusually dry weather of the fall of 1898, favored the development of certain plant lice, among which a species attacking the pea became conspicuously destructive, and this was the notable event of the season from the entomological standpoint. The intense cold during the winter of 1898 - 99 raised hopes in some quarters that it might prove as destructive to insect pests as it undoubtedly was in some sections to certain fruit buds, but such anticipations were not verified. The pernicious scale, for instance, survived unscathed on trees on which all fruit buds were killed, and it may be safely concluded that no temperature likely to occur in New Jersey will be likely to affect this species adversely. In fact, insects once completely dormant resist almost any degree of cold, the frequent changes from warm to cold being much more fatal. Several species of these insects became unusually abundant this year, while others which, like the melon louse, form a standing menace were not especially troublesome. In a few localities some injury was reported on cantaloupes but it came late in the season, when prices had broken because of a glutted market, hence the money-loss was not serious in any case.
