Connecticut W. 3, Britton (April 23): Very abundant at Hamden, 
Delaware H, L, Dozier (April 20): Large numbers of the plum curculio 
have issued from winter quarters in all parts of the State, (April 
10): The unusually early spring has brought the plum curculio 
from "-inter quarters at Camden. The first adult was beaten from 
plum on April 4 and is now abundant on peach and plums. 
North Carolina R, '.7, Leiby (April 19); The curculio appears to be more numerous 
in the commercial Sandhill peach section than in any year since 
1921 , As many as 52 overwintered adults have been shaken from 
one tree. The average around tne edges of heavily infested or- 
chards is 15 per tree. Heavy damage can be expected, 
C. H« Brannon (April 19): The plum curculio is very abundant 
at Raleigh, 
South Carolina M. H* Brunson (April 20) j The plum curculio is very abundant 
at CI ens on College. Adults may be found in large numbers in 
practically all orchards, (April 3): Plum curculio was found 
in large numbers in orchards in the Sand Hill section at Columbia

on peaches at Albany and Americus, 
0» I, Snapp (April 22): The curculio infestation in the Georgia 
peach belt is the heaviest since 1921. The situation is alarr_- 
ing and a suppression campaign is being waged in an effort to 
control the second generation, iviany growers started rather late 
with the campaign, not realizing the extent of the infestation 
early in the season, A heavy infestation was anticipated on accoun 
of the leaving of many '"ormy peaches in the orchard last summer, 
and because of the mild winter. As many as 25 adults have been 
collected from a single tree. Peach "drops" shew at least a 50 
per cent infestation. Larvae are now leaving the "drops" and 
we are expecting second-brood larvae about the middle of June,

curculio from peach in southern Illinois at Carbondale on ^prll
