Fruit Tree Bark Beetle Scolytus Rugulosus Ratz

Excerpt from The Fruit Bark Beetle (Scolytus Rugulosus, Ratz): Order Coleoptera, Family Scolytidæ At Cobden, two places were visited where several apparently unhealthy apple-trees were badly infested, one of them nearly denuded of bark by birds. Here also peach plum and cherry-trees had been attacked. At Makanda, Jackson county, several plum-trees were found very full of holes, some of them completely riddled and apparently practically killed. Peach-trees here were also badly affected, but none of the injury was found in wild fruits of any kind, nor yet in nursery stock.
