Ohio H. A. Gossard (May 22): The green peach aphid was reported as 
very damaging to peach blossoms at Clyde during the first week 
in May. 
E. W. Hendenhall (May 25): These insects do considerable damage 
to the peach trees at Columbus. Destroy the leaves by curling.

PEACH BORER (Aegeria exitiosa Say) 
0. I. Snapp (May 15): Complaints in regard to very heavy peach 
borer infestations where paradichlorobenzene was not used last 
fall have reached the laboratory from growers in the Georgia Peach 
Belt. 
LESSER PEACH TREE BORER (Aegeria pictipes G. & R. ) 
0. I. Snapp and assistants (May 1): Adults are now emerging at 
Fort Valley. As usual the insect is common in neglected orchards. 
PLUM CURCULIO ( Conotrachelus nenuphar Hbst. ) 
M. P. Zappe (May 23): At Mt. Carmel either adults are very much 
later than last year or are less plentiful, probably the latter as 
the season is a little ahead of last year. 
North Carolina F. Sherman (May 13): Dr. R. W. Leiby and J. A. Harris are working 
with this insect among our commercial growers and report it as more 
abundant than in previous seasons.

Illinois 
W. P. Flint (May 22): The plum curculio, as indicated in an ear- 
lier report, is much more abundant than usual both on apple and 
peach. S. C. Chandler reports sprayed peach orchards in southern 
Illinois showing from 45 to 50 per cent injury by the curculio. 
Apple orchards in west-central Illinois also show more egg punc- 
tures than in normal years.
