fruit industry during the past two years, making it difficult 
to pick up drops, and to mild winter, permitting survival of 
adult curculios. 
0. I. Snapp (July 19): Second-generation larvae caused much 
damage to the Elberta crop. Other varieties escaped s econd- 
brood attack. The infestation in the Georgia peach belt was 
heavier this year than at any time since 1921, and many com- 
plaints of wormy fruit were heard. Again the curculio is a 
serious problem in Georgia. 
'7. P. Flint (July 22): r he plum curculio is still moder- 
ately abundant and still found in almost as large numbers as 
at any time this season. Curculios from drop-peach cages have 
been emerging since June 25, with a peak on July 3, which will 
be about one month before Elberta harvest. Considerable feed- 
ing had been done -hen put in cages on peach trees. 
H. C. Severin (July 12): There is very severe damage to 
plum every year, and this year is no exception. 
L.Haseman (July 62) : Moderately abundant; pupation observed 
July 13 and the first adult observed July 22. .Torms are still 
in plums . 
M. H. Swenk (July 19): This insect is moderately abundant. 
D. Isloy (July 1): The plum curculio is very abundant. 
".'. E. Hinds (July 23): Very abundant. 
SAY'S BLISTER BEETLE ( PoLiphopQoa sayi LeC.) 
C. H. Crosby (June 20): Specimens on peach have been re- 
ceived from Greene County and on flowers from Ithaca. 
FUNGUS ANT ( Trachymyrmex septentrional is obscurior Seminole 
Wheeler) 
R. W. Harned (July 23): This insect has been reported to 
have removed lots of foliage from peach trees on a farm 7 miles 
south of Meridian. This is the first instance of injury of 
this sort that has come to our attention.

BL^CK CHERRY APHID ( Hyzus cerasi Fab . ) 
C. R. Crosby and assistants (July): Ti ie cherry aphid was 
very serious on sweet cherry in Dutchess County, where the

considerable numbers in Orange, Ulster, and Greene Counties
