Indiana. E. 0. Deay (July 25): Ori sntal fruit vrorns etill iolng severe Injury 
where peach twig -rowth is vigorous. In general, twig injury was less abundarl 
the week of July 17-23 than it was for the week of Jul" 10-16. Since no fruit! 
is present in most peach orchards, it Is likely that apple will "be severely 
infested later in the season. 
M. B. TCaitc (July 28): In a report of July 16 from Vincennes Leslie Pierce 
states that the oriental fruit moth is more numerous than at any time since 
this insect /was first found in that section. 
Illinois. T7. P. Flint (July 20): Fresh twig entrances arc to he found but are 
scarce wherever I have made observations. (S. C. Chandler, Carbondale): Ho 
increase in visible fruit injury in the midsummer varieties has been noted 
but in 1,000 Champion peaches picked July 13 there was 7.8 per cent visible 
infestation. In a block of Belle of Georgia I could count no increase over 
what _ it was two months ago. (Observation made July 14.) 
Kentucky. W. A. Price (July 26): Twig injury from oriental fruit moth is rather 
severe in orchards where twig growth is vigorous. 
Tennessee. H. G. Butler (June 29): The twig infestation by larvae of this 
species has been much heavier this year at Harriman than in either 1930 or 1931 
The first parasite activity was noted in twigs collected May 17. This has 
steadily increased. 
PLUM CUPCULIO ( Conotrachelus nenuphar Ebst.) 
Delaware. L. A. Stearns (July 22): First first-brood adults July 6. First-brood 
grubs are moderately parasitized by Triaspis curculionis Fitch. 
Georgia. 0. I. Snapp (July 20): Although first-generation adults began to emerge 
from the soil on June 16 at Fort Valle*', they have not yet started to deposit 
second-generation eggs in the insectary. Small ;larvae are fairly abundant in 
peaches that are ripening now, but these may be from egrs deposited by over- 
wintered adults. 
Illinois. W. P. Flint (July 20): A big drop in the numbers of curculios showed 
in jarrings in Carbondale and Anna on July 15. Emergence from drop peach 
cages at Carbondale practically ceased the week ending July 15. 
Tennessee. H. G. Butler (June 29): First-brood adults began to emerge from the 
soil at the insectary on June 21 at Harriman. 
Arkansas. W. G. Amstein (July 13): Thus far none of the second-brood curculio 
have shown up out of the ca^es at Hope. 
Mississippi. C. Lyle and assistants (July): The curculio was reported during the 
month as very abundant throughout practically the entire State. (Abstract, J.

Arizona. A. H. Caldwell (July 5): E. pini reported on peach at Safford, Graham 
County.
