Ohio. T. H. Parks (May 25): Inspection of apple orchards indicates that 
there are fever of these "beetles than usual in the apple trees. It is 
difficult to find curculio- scar red apples, e ; .-. ,-pt where fru.it trees join 
woodland or weedy fence rows. The large peach crop in prospect is 
still free from curculio blemishes. 
Illinois. V. : . P. Flint (May 20): Largely "because of the extreme drought 
of lest year, the ^lun curculio is very scarce. S. C. Chandler's ex- 
aminations in southern Illinois show the insect in smaller numbers than 
at any time during the last 10 years. 
Georgia. 0. I. Snarm (May 20): The pea 1 - of emergence of first-brood larvae 
from drops occurrec 1 on Aoril 2% at Fort Valley. The first pupation of 
the season was recorded on May 9; which is 19 days earlier than the 
first ouoation in 1S3~« - ae insect is developing from 2 to 3 weeks 
earlier than last year and a serious second "brood is exoected. Peach 
droos were very heavily infested with curculio larvae. (May 21): The 
first transformation to adult beetles in soil in the laboratory was re- 
corded today. It will probably be another week or two before these 
beetles emerge. Sex r eral ne^-looking beetles were among the curculios 
jarred from -oeach trees in an orchard today. (May 2S): The first new 
beetle of the season emerged today from the soil in the laboratory. 
This is lo davs earlier than the first emergence last year, and on ac- 
count of the unusually early emergence of first generation adults there 
is every prospect of considerable damage to the oeach cron from second- 
brood larvae. There was a marked increase in the number of curculios 
caught in the orchaxrd by jarring this morning, as a result of the emer- 
gence of new beetles from the soil. In one block of trees this increase 
Was 2h$ percent during the last week. (May 3l) : ^-~ ie first-generation 
adults started emerging from peach drons during the night, following a 
rain yesterda- - . 
South Carolina, w. C. Hetties (May 27): Curculio apparently above normal 
in oeach orchards. 
Mississippi. C. Lyle (May 23): Heavy damage to unsprayed peaches and plums 
by the plum curculio is rather general over the State. 
Missouri. L. Haseman (May 22): Plum curculio seems to be less abundant 
than usual, or else is being held bach: by weather. Few Junctures in 
plums have been reported at Columbia, and at Cane Girardeau some stings 
during the past 2 weeks have been reported. 
Kansas. H. R. Bryson (May 25): Some cherries l Manhattan show both feed- 
ing- and egg-laying -nunctures of this insect. 
CAMBIUM CURCULIO ( C onotracnel us ana^lypti c u s Say) 
Georgia. 0. I. Snapt) (May 17): A few specimens have been taken since 
April ?.0 "by jarring peach trees at Fort Valley.
