PECAiT HUT CaSE BEARER (Acrobasis hebescella Hulst) 
Texas H* S e Adair (April 27): The first feeding of overwintering larvae 
at Brownwood of the pecan nut case bearer was observed March 23 
on the swelling buds of the pecan. Cool weather immediately 
following this date checked the growth of the pecan trees somewhat 
and consequently checked the emergence of larvae from hibernation, 
since the emergence of the larvae coincides ~dth the swelling 
and opening of the pecan buds. Recently much feeding of the 
larvae has been observed and the larvae appear much more numerous.
