PEACH 
PEACH r~IG BORER ( Anarsia lineatella Zell.) 
T. D. Urbahns (July 22): On July 22 field observations made in con- 
nection with the peach twig "borer in the large canning peach cen- 
ters of Sutter and Yuba Counties show that the infestation is un- 
usually light during the pr?sent season, most of the orchards be- 
ing practically free from larvae at the present tine. 
ORIENTAL FRUIT MOTH (Ig speyresia molest a BusckjJ 
Philip Garman (August 24): A general increase in abundance of the 
oriental peach moth has been noted in New Hav^en, Fairfield, and 
Hartford Counties. The insect, while not more abundant in any one 
orchard, shows a general increase and occurs in abundance in more 
orchards than heretofore. L r cre-:than 50 per cent of the second 
brood parasitized by Macrocentru s sp, 
C. R. Crosby and assistants (August 13): Injury to the tips of 
shoots of peach is fairly common in Dutchess, Ulster, Orange, and 
Rockland Counties, Fruit injury is becoming apparent. 
H, L. Dozier (August 1): Wormy fruit from oriental peach moth work 
is common on peaches. 
A. L. Quaintance (August 29): Farlier in the season very heavy twig 
infestation was observed but due to cool weather the brood that 
should be infesting gruit now did little damage. 
0. I. Snapp (July 28): The heaviest infestation that has been re- 
corded in this State to date was observed today at the Georgia 
periment Station. Seventy-five per cent of the twigs in a variety 
peach orchard showed either old or fresh oriental peach moth work. 
In this orchard are varieties of peaches that riuen up to the time 
of frosts, and nearby are apples and pears. These late fruits 
have evidently furni shed a host for the 1st. 1 , generation. A com- 
mercial peach orchard 2 miles east of Hampton showed an average in- 
festation of 20 per cent of the twigs <bn this date. Some of the 
trees in this orchard have as high as 80 per cent of the t~igs in- 
jured, while the injury on others was as low as 5 per cent. Fruit 
from this orchard had also shown a number of larvae. There were 
apple tieos adjoining, and doubtless these furnished hosts for the 
late generations Last year.' The uiiental peach-moth infestation 
in this commercial orchard is three • tiaito as great this .year as last 
H: L. Dozier (j ' 1): Serious damage to peaches in Bridge- 
ville section by the oriental peach moth. There are apparently two 
broods.
