Georgia Oliver I. Snapp (June 15): The curculio is under excellent 
control so far this season. Over 1,000 carloads of peaches 
have moved t.o market to date practically free of curculio lar- 
vae. First-generation adults are now emerging from the soil. 
Second-generation larvae are to be expected in the Elberta crop 
which will start to move about July 6. 
Kentucky B.A. Porter (June 20): The plum curculio has been unusually 
abundant in some orchards this season. The larvae had been 
maturing and leaving the fruit in peach orchards in western 
Kentucky a few days before the end of May. 
Mississippi Oliver I. Snapp (June '2-3): Commercial peach orchards at Canton 
and Moselle very free of curculio injury. Absence of the insect 
at these two places is attributed to the liquid spraying which had 
been done according to the schedule and to the very dry season. 
■ CHERRY 
FRUIT TREE LEAF BEETLE ( Syneta albida Lee.) 
t 
Oregon Mr. Wilcox: All adults disappeared on May 20. Injury apparent 
on leaves and fruit this date. Unsprayed cherries in certain 
districts shov; 60 per cent injury. 
CHERRY LEAF BEETLE ( Galerucella cavicollis Lee.) 
Michigan R. H. Pettit (June 6): The red cherry leaf beetle is appearing 
in the northern part of the State and is quite plentiful. This 
insect is abundant wherever pin cherry grows in. quantity and the 
most of the commercially grown cherries are in cut-over and burned- 
over districts in the north where pin cherry is very abundant. 
' DARK CHERRY FRUIT FLY ( Raagoletis fausta 0. S.) 
New York . C. R. Crosby and assistants: Large numbers of the flies were 
observed in Onondaga County. Control measures are being used 
by a number of growers. 
BLACK CHERRY APHID ( Mvzus cerasi Fab.) 
Delaware C. 0. Houghton (May 30): Some trees are very heavily infested at 
Newark this year, a large percentage of the leaves being practic- 
ally covered on their under surfaces. 
Ohio E. \7. Mendenhall (May 27): Sour cherry leaves badly infested with 
the cherry plant lice, which are doing considerable damage. 
Wisconsin A. A. Granovsky (June 9): The black cherry aphis is prese-nt 
every year in extensive orchard areas of Door County, often caus- 
ing a considerable injury. At this time we have the third gener- 
ation of this pest with only slight injury. First and second 
generations are apterous, the third is developing wings . If 
weather conditions should be favorable for this insect, it may 
become serious by the end of the season.
