PEACH 
PLUM CUECULIO ( Conotrn-chelus nenuphar Hbst.) 
Virginia* A. M* ¥oodside (July 24): Birst— brood adults "began to appea.r 
in peach orchards in Albemarle County as early as July 2. A few 
are depositing eggs. Also present in Augusta and Eockingham Counties. 
Georgia. 0. I. Snapp (July 2l): Early Hiley, Hiley, and other midseason 
varieties of peach were attacked "by the second brood at Port Valley, 
central Georgia. Midseason peaches usually escape this attack, but 
this year the crop is late and the insect developed rapidly. Eirst 
mature eggs of the second generation found in a field— reared female 
on June 25 , and first matured second— generation eggs found in insectary— 
reared females on July 1. Thirty- three percent of the new females 
had started to deposit second— generation eggs before Elberta peach 
harvest, and percent had begun to deposit second— general ion eggs 
by July 19, in the midst of Elberta harvest. Considerable damage 
caused to midseason and lake varieties in the State. 
Mississippi. C. -Lyle, et al* (July 24): Injury to pcn.ch.es heavy on 
unt reeled trees in practically all sections of the State. In some 
parts of Oktibbeha County, where trees failed to bear last year, 
injury has been light, even on untreated trees. 
Illinois. S. C. Chandler (July 17)l Infestations apparently very low on 
harvested peaches, indicating a clean crop of Elberta peaches at 
Carbondnle.

released. (July 21 ) : Second brood is well started in Dutchess County, 
eastern Hew York, some fruit being infested. 
Hew Jersey. H. ¥. Allen (July): Second-brood infestation of twigs appeared 
distinctly lower than that of 1940 in peach orchards in southern Hew
