( April IS) j The first larvae of the season were found in green peaches 
on April 6. They were 3 or 4 days old. Eggs "began to hatch 3 weeks 
earlier than last year. Larvae began to leave peach' drops this year 
on A-oril 1*-' , which is 3 weeks earlier than last year (May 7)« There 
is every prosoect of a serious second "brood this season. 
0. H. Alden (April 20): First adults were caught on March 23 at 
Cornelia. On March 27, 103 "beetles were caught from six peach trees, 
the highest number ever recorded from this district. Cold weather has 
delayed egg deposition, however, and to date only a few egg punctures 
have been noted. 
Illinois. W. P. Flint (April 23): The plum curculio is very scarce, 
judging from jarring records made by C. S. Chandler in southern Illinois. 
Missouri. L. Haseman (April 22): Have taken no curculios at Columbia, 
and in the southern part of the State, where peaches are cracking their 
collars, none have been observed. 
Alabama. J. M. Robinson (April 20): The peach curculio is more abundant 
than usual in central Alabama. 
ORIENTAL FRUIT MOTH ( Graph olitha molesta Busck) 
Delaware. L. A. Stearns (April): Sixty-five percent of overwintered lar- 
vae pupated April 20; U6 percent mortality for cage material. 
Virginia. W. J. Schoene (April 24): Adult peach moths were taken in num- 
bers in bait-pails in orchards near Roanoke and Crozet on April 23. 
Georgia. 0. I. Snapp (April 3): The first twig injury of the season was 
observed today at Fort Valley. The larvae in the twigs were about 4 
days old. The eggs began to hatch on March 30, which is earlier than 
•usual and, as a result, the maximum number of generations (six and 
partial seventh) is expected this year. The dates of first twig in- 
jury other years are as follows: Aoril 10, 1°25; April 20, l c 26; 
April 1, 1027; April 25, 1928; April 4, iq2Q; April 2?, 1°30; April 22,

traps at Cornelia on April 8. No twig injury has been noted to date. 
Mississippi. C. Lyle (April 23): Correspondents at Mount Olive and New 
Albany recently sent to this office peach twigs which had evidently 
been injured by larvae of this species, stating that the damage was 
quite noticeable. Considerable injury to Peach trees has also been 
recently observed at State College.
