PECAN CASE-BEARER ( Aero basis nebulella Riley) 
Georgia and J . 
Florida J. B. Gill (May 28): During the early spring seme unsprayed pecan 
orchards in North Florida and South Georgia were rather severely 
damaged by the ravages of the larvae of the pecan leaf case-bearer. 
It should be stated, however, that the damage is not so serious and 
extensive this year as it has been in some previous seasons. In 
orchards sprayed last August and the early part of September there 
is no appreciable injury to the buds and foliage, and according to 
our observations and the reports from practical pecan growers this 
insect has been controlled very satisfactorily. We have perfected 
quite an effective control on this first-class pest and it is gratify- 
ing to note that growers generally are well pleased with results 
obtained in carrying cut our spraying recommendations. 
PECAN BUD-MOTH ( Proteooteryx bolliana Sling.) 
Florida J, B. Gill (May 26): The larvae of the pecan bud-moth have been 
reported by nurserymen from Monticello, Fla., as doing serious damage 
to pscan nursery stock during the present season. This species also 
infests bearing pecan trees but the injury caused is not of a serious 
nature. It is quite a serious pest on young orchard pecan trees 
and pecan nursery stock, however, because the larvae largely confine 
their attacks to the terminal buds and prevent the trees from making 
a satisfactory growth. According to some pecan nurserymen, the 
injury is much worse during a wet spring. 
FALL WEBV70BM ( Hyehantria cunea Drury) 
Georgia J.. B, Gill (May . n 8): At this time the fall webworm is occurring in 
injurious numbers on pecan trees in this section, and no doubt the 
second brood wi .1 be quite large, causing very serious damage during 
the summer months. The webs are also seen abundantly on tree* other 
than the pecan, especially wild persimmon and black walnut. 
PECAN CIGAR CASE-BEARER ( Coleochora car^aef oliella Clem.) 
Georgia and J. B. Gill (Hay 28): The pecan cigar case-nearer has occurred in 
Florida somewhat injurious numbers in pecan orchards around Baldwin, Fla. 
A light infestation of this insect is also reported from pecan 
orchards in the Albany, Ga., section. 
FIG 
THREE-LINED FIG BOP.ER (Ptvchcdcs vittata Fab.) 
Louisiana T. K. Jones (May 15): Mr. Felix Bachemin, Jr., Agricultural Agent 
for the New Orleans Great Northern Railroad Company, wrote concerning 
a heavy infestation of borers doing considerable damage to fig trees 
at several points along the line. Injury is probably due to this 
species .
