PSACH BORER ( Aegeria eyitiosa Say) 
Georgia Oliver I. Snapp (July 21): Indications point to the heavy use 
of paradichlorobenzene in the Peach Bait at Fort Valley this fall. 
Peach-borer infestations are fairly heavy in orchards where the 
treatment was omitted last year. 
Indiana J. J. Davis (July 26): The peach tree borer is probably more 
abundant than usual this year at La Payette. ' 
SHOT-HOLE BORER ( Scol.vtus rugulosus Ratz. ) 
Indiana J. J. Davis (July 26): A number of reports of the shot-hole borer 
attacking peach -and cherry have come from the southern half of the 
State. The reports have come from points as far north as Portland. 
Probably it is no more than normally abundant. 
Michigan R. H. Pettit (July 9): G. L. Gentner of this department has just 
teturned from a trip to Ludington to look into a case of great 
injury done by Scolvtu s rugulosus in cherry trees. The peculiar 
thing about it is that the damage, is altogether due to feeding 
punctures in the t^igs. The- twigs are many of them killed and 
large masses of gun were thickly scattered throughout their lengths, 
I could not make out how the thing could have happened by corres- 
pondence and I therefore asked Mr. Gentner to visit the place. He 
records 50 or ^0 cords of apple and cherry wood from which "the 
beetles have recently emerged, this firewood lying alongside the 
cherry orchard. The trees' in the vicinity of the ™ood were more 
seriously attacked than those at a distance. Mir. Gentner reports 
that a number of trees will undoubtedly die from the feeding 
punctures alone. The trees were in such vigorous condition that 
no breeding galleries were found. 
PLUM CURCULIO ( Conotrachelu s nenuphar Host. ) 
Massachusetts A. I. Bourne (July 24): The plum curculio is showing up in 
considerable abundance and as near as can be estimated at this 
time will be fully as bad as for the last few years. 
Georgia 
New York 
Oliver I. Snapp (July 21): The Georgia peach crop of nearly 
13,000 cars has moved without a single complaint 6f curculio 
damage. The infestation is extremely light. Wormy peaches 
have been scarce this season, and the insect is apparently under 
excellent control. 
CHERRY FRUIT FLY ( Rhagoletis olngulata Loew) 
0. R. Crosby and assistants: In Ulster County practically all 
orchards examined are free of this pest. In some orchards in 
Columbia County the adult flies are rather commonly found.
