Tcnnessec. G. M. Bent ley (May): In peach and plum orchards where timely 
sprays have net "been applied a large number of t.he curculio is present 
generally over the State. 
Mississippi. C. Lyle (May 23): Injury "by the plum curculio is rather 
general in unsprayed orchards, although only light damage is reported 
in the central and southwestern parts of the State. Inspector J. E. 
Lee at Poplarville reports wild plums in Pearl River County heavily 
infested, one count showing 9^ percent infestation. 
Minnesota. A. G. Ruggles (May 22): Plum curculio is moderately abundant 
in Hennepin County. 
Missouri. L. Haseman (May 23): In central Missouri there was an early May 
appearance of curculios and "both apples and stone fruits were attacked 
generally, hut at first punctures were mostly for feeding.. In the 
peach district of southwestern Missouri stone fruits were also "badly 
attacked with worms in fallen fruit May 20-22. 
A PLEA BEETLE ( Chalcoides helxines L.) 
Connecticut. M. P. Zappe (May 22): Considerable feeding on leaves by adults 
Most abundant in peach orchards at Southington on those trees adjoining 
hedgerows containing chokecherries. Probably more beetles on choke- 
cherries than on peach. Injury not serious on either plant. 
ORIENTAL PRUIT MOTH ( Grapholitha molesta Busck) 
Delaware. L. A. Stearns (May 23): Emergence of spring brood practically 
complete; first-brood larvae feeding in twigs are about half grown. 
Pennsylvania. R. M. Baker (May 13): Terminal infestation on young peach 
quite noticeable at Rutherford. Not quite so bead on older trees. 
Georgia. 0. I. Snrpp (May 20): Oriental fruit moth infestation is light 
at Port Valley. 
Ohio. E. W. Mendenhall (May 20): Quite bad on the peach trees in central 
Ohio that are left alive from the severe freezes of last winter. The 
tips of the peach limbs are quite noticeable from their injury. Their 
population will be somewhat decreased on account of so many peach trees 
being killed last winter. They will no doubt attack other fruit trees. 
Missouri. L. Haseman (May 23): Oriental fruit moth is more abundant at 
Cape ^ Girardeau than usual. The first brood is causing much damage 
to tips and worms are occasionally entering groen fruit. 
Mississippi. C. Lyle (May 23): Oriental fruit moth injury to peach twigs 
was observed by Inspector N. L. Douglass at Water Valley and Grenada 
about the middle of May. At State College this injury' is much lighter 
than in the spring of 1935* Some orchards heavily infested last year 
show no injury at all this season.
