Georgia 0. I. Snapp (March 20): Adults began leaving hiber- 
nation in numbers on March 1?, This is much later than 
usual when compared with the present stage of development 
of the fruit, and is due to the cold, rainy weather which 
prevailed since the trees started to bloom. Most of the 
petals havs fallen from the Hileys by this date and about 
half of them are off the Elbertas. The late appearance 
of these insects 'from hibernation this year may prevent 
the development of a second brood of larvae before Elberta 
harvest. Spraying has started and growers have an ex- 
cellent opportunity this year to poison the food of the 
adults before they become disseminated thr .ugh.ut the 
orchards. . 
J. B. Gill (March 22): At Albany the plum curculio 
adults have made their appearance on wild plum trees and 
in commercial orchards but adults appear to be quite scarce 
Oviposition is nor: (March 25) occurring in peaches with 
shucks off, but no egg punctures have been observed on 
wild olums. Cold weather has severely damaged the fruit 
on wild plum trees, especially those growing in low places, 
and this condition may add to the curculio menace in so 
far as the peach grower is concerned. 
C. H. .rJ-der. (March 22): Cold weather delayed the 
emergence of the plum curculio at Cornelia and Thomaston; 
5 adults were collected at Thomaston today. 
Florida J. R. "-Tatson (March 21): The plum curculio is scarce. 
Emergence has been delayed by cold wet weather. 
Illinois Vv*. P. Flint (March 6): In Pike, Green, Adams, and Scott 
Counties the percentages of fruit infested in unsprayed 
plots in recent years have been as follows: 1925, 72; 
1926, 69; 1327, 92: 1923, 68; 1929, 99. 
Oklahoma C. E.Sar.born (March 19): The plum curculio is scarce. 
Mississippi R. "7. Earned and assistants (March): Reports from 
scattered localities ovar the State indicate that the plum 
curculio is moderately abundant. 
CHERRY 
CHERRY CASE BEARER ( Coleophora -pruniella Clemens) 
Wisconsin A. 'A. Granovsky (March 20): There are prospects of new 
outbreaks of the cherry case bearer. Case bearers, still 
in a dormant stage in half grown larval cases, are present 
in all of the cherry orchards in Door County in large 
numbers.
