in peach orchards' in Adams County on April 17 at the pihk stage and 
were well distributed several rows into the orchard on April 23 . 
North Carolina. C. F. Smith (April 8): Many curculios were present on 
peaches near the woods. They have spread to the fourth row from the 
edge at Hamlet . 
C. F. Smith (April 15): At Norman an unusually large number of plum 
curculios overwintered and are entering the peach orchards. Some are ovi- 
positing. 
Georgia. W. H. Clarke (April 14): The first curculio emerged from hiberna- 
tion on March 26 at Cornelia when caught in experimental jarring. Mo 
further emergence was noted until April 6> when 149 beetles were caught 
from 15 trees. The same trees jarred again on April 8 gave 287 beetles, 
and this proved to be the peak emergence. Dispersal into orchards was 
indicated on April 8. 
0. I. Snapp (April 20): Adults w r ere leaving hibernation a.t Fort Val- 
ley in large numbers on April 6, when the .trees were ready for the petal- 
fall spray. An average of 8 adults per tree were taken from 'peach trees 
next to woods on that date. Mean temperatures for April 3, 4, 5, and 6 
were 60.5®, 65.5°, 67.5®, and 68® F., .respectively. Matured eggs were 
found in the body of a female on March 25, when peach trees were in full 
bloom. This is earlier than usual and indicates early oviposit ion and a 
full second-brood attack of the late varieties. Adults reached the cen- 
ter of peach orchards on April 3, which was just before the time for the 
first spray. The first eggs were found in peaches on April 8. The num- 
bers of adults appearing from hibernation were greater than that of an 
average year. The first larvae of the season were observed in small 
peaches on the morning of April 17* These larvae were about 2 days old.
