PEACH BORER ( Aegeria exitiosa Say) 
Alabama. J. M. Robinson (March 20): The peach borer is moderately abundant 
at Auburn. 
Georgia. 0. I. Snapp (March 2l): Pupation of the spring brood has started 
at Fort Valley. As usual, the infestation is heavy in neglected orchards 
and those in which there are trees with injured areas. 
Mississippi. C. Lyle (March 22): The peach borer is reported as very abund- 
ant in parts of the State. 
Idaho. R. W. Haegele (March 2C'i: The peach tree borer is damaging peaches 
in some orchards in Upper Payette Valley. (May be A. opal e seen s Edw. JAH) 
PLUM CURCULIO ( Conotrachelus nenuphar Hbst.) 
Georgia. 0. I. Snapp (March 2l): The first curculio of the season was 
caught at Fort r alley today 'oy jarring peach trees that had begun to 
bloom. As usual the insect is appearing from hibernation at the time of 
the appearance of the first open peach blossoms, and as a result two 
broods of larvae are likely to occur. Emergence from hibernation is ex- 
pected to be heavy during the next two weeks provided weather conditions 
are favorable. 
C. H. Alden (March 19): The plum curculio is hibernating; no beetles 
are out to date at Cornelia. 
SEOT-HOLE BORER ( Scolytus rugulosus Ratz.) 
Indiana. J. J. Davis (March 27): There has been a gradual increase apparently 
in some sections of the State, and with the severe winter which has 
weakened the stone fruit trees I anticipate a heavy outbreak of borers 
this spying and sunver. 
Mississippi. J. Milton f March 19): A heavy infestation was noticed on a 
peach tree in Rankin County near Florence on March 14. This tree had been 
weakened by the San Jose scale. 
Idaho. R. W. Haegele (March 20): The shot-hole borer is present in prune 
trees, weakened by the peach tree borer, in the Upper Payette Valley. 
SALkOiT FLY (T acnio^teryx pacifica Bks.) 
Idaho. R. W. Haegele (March 2l): The salmon fly was found seriously 
injuring peach orchards in the Payette Valley. Blossom buds and blossoms 
were attacked, practically all blossoms being destroyed on some trees. 
GRES1I PEACH APHID ( My bus oersicae Sulz.) 
Colorado. G. M. List (March 29): The green peach aphid promises to be 
somewhat more abundant in Mesa and Delta Counties than it has been for 
a number of years. Eggs began hatching the latter part of February and 
early in March.
