EUROPEAN RED MITE ( P ar at e t r any chus pilosus C. & P. ) 
Connecticut. P. Garman. (July 23): More abundant in Hartford and New Haven 
Counties than at any time during the last 2 or 3 years. 
PEACH 
. -ORIEITTAL FRUIT MOTH ( Grapholitha molesta Busck) 
Connecticut. P. Garman. (July 23): Twig injury fairly abundant in many 
orchards. 
New York. N. Y. State Coll. Agr. News Letter (July): Generally abundant 
throughout the State; more serious than last year. (Abstract J.A.H.) 
Delaware. L. A. Stearns (July 2h) : Parasitization of the first brood of the 
moth is 75 percent. 
Pennsylvania. L. L. Guyton (July 23): Moderately abundant in Franklin, Adams, 
and York Counties. 
Virginia. W. J. Schoene (July 25): In the early season a very heavy emer- 
gence of adults occurred, resulting in a very severe twig injury in all 
orchards. Reports now indicate that the population has decreased and that 
this is due to the work of the parasites. 
Alabama. J. M. Robinson (July 21): Very abundant on peach twigs in Prattville. 
Michigan. R. Hut son (July 23): The oriental fruit moth is moderately abundant. 
Tennessee. G. M. Bentley (July 21): Moderately abundant throughout the State; 
some damage to apples and peaches. 
PEACH BORER ( Aegeria exitios a Say) 
Georgia. 0. I. Snapp (July 19): Although the first adult of this season emerged 
at Fort Valley on June 13, the earliest emergence record for this latitude, 
very few have yet emerged. 
PLUM CURCULIO ( Conotrachelus nenuphar Hbst.) 
Connecticut. P. Garman (July 23): Damage is very severe in orchards inter- 
planted with peaches, but the carculio is well controlled in orchards not 
interplanted and using an adequate spray schedule. 
Georgia. 0. I. Snapp (July 9): Egg deposition by the second generation began 
at Fort Valley on July 9 by adults which emerged on June IS; therefore, 
the Elberta, which is the chief commercial variety of peach in Georgia, 
will be subjected to an attack "oy second-brood larvae. The infestation is 
now heavier than average. (July 20): Second-brood larvae are showing up 
in the Elberta peaches, which are just beginning to ripen. That is the last 
commercial variety of peach to ripen in Georgia.
