(June 15): The first adults of the new generation emerged from 
the soil today. This is 9 days later than the first emergence 
in 1930 and 19 days later than the first emergence in 1929. 
There has been, no rain in peach orchards of this locality during 
the past 5j3 weeks, and therefore this record of first curculio 
adult emergence is perhaps earlier than that under orchard 
conditions, as we have kept our pupation boxes watered at inter- 
vals. The dry weather had retarded the ripening of the fruit, 
causing the harvesting season to be later than anticipated 
earlier in the season. On that account the latest variety of 
peaches in this locality, the Elberta, may not escape a second- 
brood curculio attack. We are not expecting any second-genera- 
tion eggs in. the field until July. (June 19): Adults of the first 
generation are emerging in numbers. 
J. B. Gill (June 25): The plum curculio is scarce at Albany, 
and there has hot "be en so much damage to peaches or plums as 
usually occurs. 
J. R. Watson (June 22): The plum curculio is moderately abun- 
dant, though apparently less so than usual at this season. 
T. H. Parks (June 24): The plum curculio still continues to 
be very scarce. Very few scars can be found on apples or stone 
fruits, 
J. J. Davis (June 24): The plum curculio is reported abundant 
.on plum at Otterbein June 1. 
J, H. Bigger (June 15): The plum curculio is scarce in 
Calhoun County, A few were observed attacking apples May 13, 
R. Hutson (June 20): The plum curculio is moderately abundant, 
H. G. Butler (June 23): First insectary emergence of first- 
brood adults today, at Harriman. In 1930 the first of this 
brood emerged June 19. 
L, Haseman (June 22): Through central Missouri the plum 
curculio has been less abundant than usual. They began their 
work on fruits later than usual but during June they have caused 
considerable damage to both sprayed and unsprayed fruits. Damage 
on apples generally is much less than usual. 
R. W. Earned and assistants (June): Although reported abundant 
from many localities, the plran curculio does not seem to be as 
abundant as usual over the greater part of the State. (Abstract, 
FLOWER THRIFS ( Frankliniella tritici Fitch) 
S. Lockwood (June 5): During May the flower thripswas respon- 
sible for slightly more than normal damage to the stone fruits, 
nectarines, and peaches in San Bernardino and Riverside Counties.
