 PEACH-TREE BORER. 



Sanninoidea exitiosa Sa}-. 

 Order Lepidoptkra ; Family Skstidae. 



In Bulletin ITO, is- 

 sued in December, 

 1899, we published a 

 detailed account of 

 the life and habits of 

 the peach-tree borer, 

 and the results of live 

 years of experimenta- 

 tion with methods of 

 combatting it. Soon 

 after the bulletin was 

 issued Professor J. M. 

 Stedman of the Mis- 

 souri Experiment Sta- 

 tion, wdio had pub- 

 lished the results of 

 s o m e experiments 

 against the pest in 

 Missouri in 1898, 

 wrote us as follows : 



" I received your 

 most excellent l)ulle- 

 tin on the peach-tree 

 borer, and, naturally, 

 I looked to see your 

 results with the use 

 of protectors and 



.fi.
