F. Sherman {June 30): For years we have had occasional s?ndin 
of twig borers in peach, identified as A rsarsia lineatella Zell. , 
etc. During 1924 scouting by Federal workers and ourselves re- 
vealed this insect in three localities, with others under suspicion. 
This spring we have had several reports and sendings and in one 
case the oriental moth has been identified, one other was An arsia 
sp. , and others not determined as yet. Wo strongly suspect that 
the oriental moth is present in many more localities than are yet 
known to us. 
H. F. Dietz (July 23): No peach nursery stock was found to be 
infested with the oriental fruit moth, although a careful survey 
of all trees was made. However, in the City of Svansville and 
in the town of Mt. Vernon very suspicious injury was found on 
both apple and peach and I feel confident that this was the 
orients! fruit mo oh, although the caterpillar had left the in- 
jured twigs and positive identification could, therefore, not 
be made. 
TARNISHED PLANT BUG- (Lygus prat ens is L. )

Indiana 
H. F. Dietz (July 23)1 "Cat faced" peaches were quite abundant 
in one orchard at Mt. Vernon where a heavy crop of peaches occur- 
red. I am not certain just what was decided as the cause of this 
trouble but, as I remenber, it was agreed to be the work of the 
tarnished plant bug. 
GREEN JUNE BEETLE ( Co tin is ritida L. ) 
H. F. Diets (July 23): The green fruit beetle was found quite 
abundant in the southwestern section of the State, feeding largely 
on peach foliage and grass.

PEAR SLUG ( Caliroa cerasi L. ) 
M. P. Zappe (July 21): Causing defoliation of cherry trees at 
Ellington and Cromwell. One old tree about one- third defoliated. 
Most of the injury was in the top and south side of tree. It 
appears to be more abundant this year. 
C. R. Crosby and assistant: Portions of a block of sweet cherries 
have been skeletonized in Orange County. 
R. 3. Lott (July 23): Cherry trees in some locations in the 
northern part of the State are attacked this season by the common 
pear slug. Trees are defoliated in some cases. 
Geo. F. Knowlton (July 21): The pear slug is doing particular 
damage to cherry trees around American Fork and some orchards in 
Provo, with a little damage in most localities.
