hibernation during. the last four days in Fort Valley. A total of 736 
curculios were jarred from 1&' peach trees this morning, which is an 
average of U.5 beetles per tree. . An average of 9 beetles per tree 
were jarred from trees in several sections of the orchard. This in- 
dicates that the infestation is ver-<- much heavier than for several 
years.. Weather conditions have been favorable during the last week 
to bring the curculios out of hibernation. An average of I.05 beetles 
per tree were jarred from the trees on March 29 and, as the aver? e 
caught this morning was U.5 beetles per tree, the arrival -in the or- 
chards between those dates was very heavy. (April 3): Eggs nearly 
ready to hatch wer found in little peaches today. Oviposition began 
fully 2 weeks earlier than last year. Adults are so abundant that it 
is easy to find them on the trees and on the ground under the trees.
