OP.IF TTAL FRUIT MOTH ( laspeyres ia molesta Busck) 
Oliver I. Sr,app avA assistants (July 14): Fourth- generation. 
pupae are now being noted in the insectary. There has been, r.o 
increase in the infestation at Fort Valley. (August 15): Some 
individuals of the fifth generation of the Oriental peach moth 
have been reared in the insectary at Fort Valley. 
B. A. Porter (August 8): lb Oriental fruit worms have yet been 
found in southern Indiana this season. Occasional instances of 
typical injury have been found, but this may, of course, have 
been caused by the peach twig- borer or some other spec:.es.

SHOT- HOLE BOBEH (S colytus rugulosus Batz. ) 
W. S. Hough (August 22): The beetles are breeding and spreading 
at a rapid rate at Hew Market in one large apple orchard. At 
Winchester cherry and peach are being attacked to the ertent 
that the spread is from the weakened trees to healthy trees. 
Neglect in looking after weakened trees has resulted in the 
pr e s ent outfox eak . 
FLTJM CttRCULIO ( Conotrachelus nenuphar Ebst.) 
A. I. Bourne (August 22): The pltm curculio seems to be very 
abundant in most sections of Middlesex and Worcester Counties, 
the chief fruit-growing region of the State. In the absence 
of any serious infestation of ap'hids or leafhoppers, the p' ; am 
curculio is by far causing more serious loss than any of our 
other fruit insects.
