APPLS CUECULIO ( Tachypt er el l us quadrigibbus Say) 
New York. II.- Y. State Coll. Agr. , Weekly News Letter (July): 37 July 13 about 
one-third of the apple curculios had pupated in eastern New Yorh and adults 
started to appear on Jul.y 21 in that section of the State. (Abstract, J.A.H. ) 
Kansas. E. R. Bryson (July 18): The apple curculio is reported by Dr. R. I. 
Parker as doing considerable injury to the current year's growth of apple twigs. 
This, no doubt, is worse owing to the scarcity of fruit. Severe injury to the 
fruit has also occurred. Some orchards have a* total loss of fruit due to injury 
by the insects in northeastern Kansas.
