ORIENT ;L FRUIT MOTH ( Laspeyresia m olesta Bus ck) ' 
Georgia Oliver I. Snapp and assistants (June 15): Third-generation lar- 
vae are now appearing both in the field and in the insectary at 
Fort Valley. There is a marked overlapping of generations. The 
infestation at this point covers only about the area infested a 
year ago which includes the town and the edges of several commer- 
cial peach orchards adjoining the city limits . 
PEACH TWIG BORER ( Anars ia li neatell a Zell.) 
Oregon Don C. Mote (May 2o):. On unsp rayed orchards severe damage in 
certain districts has occurred on prune and peach by the peach 
and prune twig ni2ier. 
California C. E. B reamer (May): Attacking particularly prunes and peaches 
in Sonoma County. Damages growth on nonbearing prune trees, 
severe damage being caused.

New York C. R, Crosby and assistants: . During the last week in May and the 
first week in June this pest Was found quite prevalent in Genesee, 
Ulster, Dutchess, and Columbia counties.

usually abundant in orchards not treated with paradichlorobenzene

■■■' :■ SHOT HOLE BORER (Scolytus r ugulosus Ratz.) 
Mississippi R. W. Harned (June 22): The fruit tree bark beetle has been re- 
ceived from many counties. Peach, plum, apple, and other fruit 
trees have been attacked . The extreme drought of the last 12 
months has been very hard on trees of all kinds and this probably 
accounts for conditions being so favorable for these beetles. 
PLUM CURCULIO ( flonotrachelus nenuphar Hbst.) 
Massachusetts A. L Bourne (June 22): The plum curculio appeared about ten days 
or two weeks earlier than was the case last year. At least pre- 
liminary indications are that this insect will not be quite as 
serious a pest as it was for the last several ^ears . 
Rhode Island A. E. Stene (June 20): The plum curculio is also active as in- 
dicated by reports from various sections of the State. 
Indiana • B . A. Porter (June 20): Began leaving the fruit at least as early 
as June 1 at Vifccennes .
