PEACH 
PEACH BOBEE ( Aegeria exHicsa Say) 
Utah Geo. F. Xnowlton (July 31): Peach tree borer is heavy in many 
counties, and farmers in Boxelder County are planning for this fall 
an extensive treatment with paradichlorohenzene. 
SHOT- HOLE BORER ( Scolytus rurulosus Eatz.) 
Indiana B. A. Porter (August 23): Very abundant in most of the peach or- 
chards which have been weakened by the past winter. First-brood 
beetles began emerging Euly 28. 
PLUM CURCULIO ( Conotraehelus nenuphar Hbst.) 
Georgia J. B. Gill (July 24): The plum curculio infestation has been un- 
usually heavy on peaches growing around Thomasville. During the 
past few days many recent egg and feeding punctures have been ob- 
served on ripening fruit and very tiny larvae were found in several 
peaches that were closely examined. These observations seem to 
indicate that there is a partial second generation of the curculio 
in this section during the present season. 
Indiana B. A. Porter (August 23): Considerable damage to ripening peaches 
was noted in several orchards near Evansville on August 13, 
PEACE- T7IG MOTH (A narsia lineatella Zell.) 
Georgia P. L. Hetterville (July 25): At Madison one came 4c- pupol stage. 
•The adiilt emerged/ August,' 4. 
Indiana B. A. Porter (August 23): T?hile scouting for the oriental peach 
moth in southern Indiana frequent infestations of the peach- twig 
borer have been found in neglected trees. Almost no injury in 
commercial orchards. 
Utah Geo. F. Khowlton (July 31 ): Peach- twig borers are in the peaches 
at the present time. Where sprayed at the right time orchards are 
quite free from injury. 
ORIENTAL FRUIT MOTH (la speyresia molesta Busck) 
Georgia J. B. Gill (.July 24): The occurrence of the oriental peach moth 
was first reported on July 9 at Thomasville, where it was found 
attacking the tender shoots and fruit of seedling peach trees. The 
insect appears to be mere abundant in the city limits of Thomasville 
than in the rural districts immediately adjacent to town. At this 
writing nearly full grown larvae are found in ripened peaches collect 
ed from the ground. The excessive dropping of peaches from seed- 
ling trees in this section seems to have been caused by the combined 
attack of the curculio and brown-rot rather than from the feeding of 
larvae of the oriental peach moth. Larvae have been observed pupat- 
ing on the bark of trunks and larger limbs of peach trees, as well
