GREEN PEACH APHID (My? us persicae Sulz.) 
Maryland E. N. Cory (May 10): General distribution throughout 2,000-tree 
orchard at Kan cock- Pink stem-mothers scarce. (May 17): At 
Dmithsburg there is a light infestation. 
PEACH-TWIG MOTH (Ansarsia lineatella Zell,) 
Texas F « c ' Bishopp (April 15): The peach-twig moth is abundant on most 
peach trees at this tine. In some instances dozens of the terminal 
twigs are dying as a result of their attack. (April 20): Most of 
the larvae appear to oe full grown and active work has largely ceased 
PEACH EORFR ( Aegeria exitiosa Say"* 
Georgia Oliver I. Snapp (May 15): Due in all probability to the large amoun 
of parariichloro benzene us^d in Georgia during the last three years 
the general peach oc rer infestation has been greatly reduced in the 
State . 
SHOT-HOLE BORER ( Scolvtu s rugulosus Ratz.) 
Georgia Oliver I. Snapp (May 16): Winter injury has killed or devitalized 
some peach trees in all parts of the peach belt this year, and now 
orchard bark-beetles are to be found in many of these trees. 
PLUM CURCULIO (Ccno trachslus nenuphar Host.) 
Georgia W. C. McCarrell (April 22): First specimens sent to my office of 
this insect on this date attacking peach. 
Oliver I. Snapp (May 16): Developments since last report show that 
the curculio infestation at the present time in the Georgia Peach 
Felt is apparently lighter than at any tine since 1918. The late, 
cold spring caused the beetles to remain in hibernation later than 
usual, and consequently they care out in greater numbers during a 
short period the middle of April than was recorded for any period 
during the 1923 season; however, the peach "drop" examinations show 
thatpinbthe majority of orchards tne curculio infestation at the 
present time is only about one-hall" as heavy as it was a year ago, 
■when it was lighter than it has oeen for years. This remarkable 
reduction in the infestation has resulted from the vigorous curculio 
suppression campaign that has oeen waged in Georgia since 1920. 
Mississippi J. E. McEvilly (May 7): Work of this pest is very noticeable in 
this section. Trees laden with fruit this season severely damaged 
oy punctures of this pest. 
C/MBIUM CURCULIO ( Conotrac helus anaglypticus Cay) 
Georgia Oliver I. Snapp (May 10) : This species of curculio is apparently 
more common in Georgia peach orchards this year than usual. Some 
mornings while jarring for C,. nenuphar 10 per cent of the Conotrachel 
captured were anaglypticus .
