PEACH BORER ( Synanthedon exitiosa Say) 
H. Gr, Butler (June 23'): Adult emergence began June 11 in 
experimental blocks at Harriman. The first recorded emergence 
in 1930 occurred June 20. 
R. B. Deojn (June 19) s The peach borer is very abundant in 
lee County, Two orchards were practically killed. 
PEACE TWIG BORER (Anarsia lineatella Zell.) 
S. Lockwood (June 5); The young from the spring brood of the 
peach twig borer are now doing some little damage to unsprayed 
peaches in the northern part of the Sacramento Valley. 
PLUM CURCULIO ( Conotrachelus nenuphar EDst.) 
P. Garman (June 23): The plum curculio is appearing in usual 
abundance in New Haven County. 
N. Y, State Coll. of Agr., Weekly News Letter (June): Luring 
the first week in June plum curculio injury was quite prevalent 
in the Hudson River Valley, In Dutchess County practically 
100 per cent of the fruit was scarred by June 3. This very 
decided acceleration, of the plum curculio is attributed to very 
warm weather which prevailed from May 26 to 29 and from June 2 
to 4 9 By the middle of the month larvae were nearly full grown 
in Ulster County. In the western part of the State the greater 
part of the damage was to plums and prunes. (Abstract, J.A.H.) 
N. J. State Coll. of Agr., Weekly News Letter (June): For the 
State as a whole, plum curculio damage is much below normal and 
conditions have not been changed materially from those reported 
last month. (Abstract, J.A.H.) 
L, A. Stearns (June 22): The plum curculio is very abundant 
in Sussex County, Eirst-brood grubs are now in the soil. 
E. IT. Cory (June 22): The plum curculio is moderately abundant. 
C. H. Brannon (June 13) V Curculio damage to peaches is un- 
usually light. 
A, Lutken (June 25): The plum curculio is moderately abundant 
in the northwest, 
0. I. Snapp (June l): The first beetle of the first 1931 
generation at Port Valley was observed today in a soil cell. 
However, we are not expecting adults to begin their escape from 
the soil until the third or fourth week in June. Transformation 
is taking place much later than usual. The first transformation 
last year was recorded on M ay 23, which was considered late.
