siderable damage to pecan trees in the "est em part of Pearl River

. - e station seems to be confined to a section of the county next 
to Pearl River, but it is the most 'severe case of insect injury that 
I have seen, en pecans* The trees that these t"dgs mere taken from 
are 30 years old or older and almost every twig is infested. The 
specimens that I am sending are from the property of J". 
Route A* Poplarville, who states that he has noticed the beetles 
for three years. Tea can find signs on the -ccd th snding 
where injury was done last year. I want to scout the infestation 
in the county, I certainly hope that It will be confined to a small 
section for it -ill cause great loss if it spreads over the count; . 
trees that we have found infested so far are adjacent to 
hundreds of acres of woodland, and the hickory trecti in the woods 
are infested. f|

almost killed,, The orchard has been infested for several years." 
May 12, C, M„ Chance, Inspector for the State Plant Beard, went 
to Lincoln County to investigate this outbreak,. He and Mr, Renfrow 
visited the farm; of J. H B Hoggatt and" .Will Haley. He reported: ''We 
found that this insect is doing a great deal of damage, principally 
use cf the fact that the larva bores the shoots on which the 
nut clusters form, thereby cutting off the fruit and foliage. On 
Mr. Koggatt's farm, we found one tree that had shed a good part 
of its foliage, and apparently 90 per cent or more of the shoots 
left were infested. The owner expects this tree to die. Mr. Hoggatt 
told ma that his trees were about ten years old f but he had only 
noticed this injury during the pist three years. He said that it had 
en worse each year and that this reason it -us much worse than 
Mr. Hoggatt suid that the -^ork of this insect was much more 
rent early in the season, and that he did not remember it doing 
rou«h ] mage later in the summer, in another grove about 100 yards 
from the Hoggatt place, tl •< trees were found to be badly infested. 
In a "rove inspected 3 miles away no injury from this inject - 
found."
