Oliver I. Snapp (July 14): O-^er 8,500 cars of Georgia peaches 
have moved to date unusually free of plum eurculio larvae. The 
insect is apparently -under most excellent control. There are 
no small larvae in the Slbertas that are now moving, and other 
observations point to an absence of a second generation in Georgia 
this year. The absence of a second brood is attributed to the 
very unfavorable weather conditions during the pupation season, 
which caused first- generation adults to be late in emerging from 
the soil. (August 15): The very dry and hot weather has been 
most unfavorable for the development of adults in the soil. The 
general curculio infestation in the Georgia Peach Belt is lower 
than it has been for seven years. 
T. H. Parks (August 19): This insect, together with the codling 
moth, is solving the market problem of apples grown en the uncared- 
for farm orchard. Practically no unsprayed fruit is free from 
attack and the insect is causing losses in some well sprayed 
orchards.

PLUM 
RED SPIDER (T etranychus spp. ) 
Weekly News Letter, State of California, Vol. 7, No. 17, August 
23: An infestation fully as severe as that of 1924 has again 
occurred during the season of 1325 
The red spider has been 
particularly active in many orchards of the Sacramento Valley, 
causing defoliation of trees and a corresponding reduction of 
quality of fruit and loss of crop. Despite the efforts of 
fruit growers who have experimented with different spray 
materials this pest has continued to spread. It is hoped 
that through a discussion o" latest methods by members of the 
staff of the Department of Agriculture, the University, and 
spray organizations, methods may be devised which will help 
to bring it under control.
