T. H. Parks (June 25): Very few curculio marks are to "be 
found on apples though some are present on plums and a few on 
peaches in some orchards. The infestation is distinctly less 
than usual though greater than last year. 
S. C. Chandler (June): Apple orchards in southern Illinois 
have been injured severely because of the lack of fruit in the 
big peach orchards close by, and the curculio s have concentrated 
on the apples. On account of the scarcity of fruit much damage 
has been done to peaches in southern Illinois. Jarrings at 
present indicate no let-up in the numbers feeding.
