PEACH BORER ( Aegeria cxitiosa Say) 
Georgia H. S. Yeomans (September): Moderately abundant; adults 
are emerging and laying eggs at Cornelia. 
Illinois S. C. Chandler (September 14): Heaviest emergence recorded 
is taking place in southern Illinois. 
Kentucky "7. A. Price (September 20): Moderately abundant on peach 
over the State. 
Mississippi H. H. Carpenter (September 19): Very abundant in Calhoun 
and Ch i ckas aw C oun ties. 
ORIENTAL FRUIT MOTH ( Laspeyresia molcsta 3usck) 
Massachusetts A. I. 3oume (September 25): We have found the oriental 
fruit moth in peaches at Amherst for the first time. In one 
orchard it is abundant enough to be causing serious loss. We 
have also found it in various points in Hampden County, but 
there were only a few larvae which indicate just the begin- 
ning of an infestation and did not represent any commercial 
loss. 
Ohio T. H. Parks (September 23): Very heavy increase in the 
northern part of the State. 
J. S. Houser (September 24): Very abundant wherever peaches 
are grown. 
Indiana J. J. Davis (September 23): Received from Goshen on 
September 11, which is our first record for the northern end 
of ;he State. This insect is now appearing generally through- 
out the State-. 
Illinois S. C. Chandler (September 14): There has been quite a 
strong emergence from larvae that pupated the first of 
September. Very little pupation is taking place at the 
present time. Infestation in late peaches is much greater in 
parts of southern Illinois other than the section which had 
the original infestation, where it is about the Same as in 
1928 . 
Kentucky 7. A. Price (September 11): Very prevalent over the entire 
State and doing very serious damage to the peach crop. 
Arkansas p. H. Millar (September 23): There is considerable more 
injury to peaches in the towns than in commercial orchards. 
The insect was found in the following counties: Phillips, Lee, 
St. Francis, Cross., Greene, and Pulaski.
