Delaware. L. A. 'Stearns (May 25)-: First emergence of plum curculio from hiber- 
nation April 18; peak May 9; first-brood grubs three-fourths mature and drop 
of infested peaches began May 24, 
Maryland. 33. N. Cory (May 22): The plum curculio is moderately abundant. It is 
late in emerging in numbers at Hancock. 
North Carolina. P. D. Sanders (May): Slight damage by overwintering beetles is 
noted in the Nashville district. Larvae were entering soil in small numbers 
May 11. 
Georgia. 0. I. Snapp (May 18): lull-grown larvae began to leave peach drops on 
April 29, and the peak of first-brood larvae emergence occurred on May 7. at'-* •'■■ 
.Fort Valley. The -fir i st_ pupation of the season was recorded on May 18. Pupation 
is earlier' than in 1932, and a second brood of this insect is expected here 
this year. The general infestation is heavier than last year, but lighter 
than that of an average year. (May 21): Emergence of Trias-pis curculionis 
Pitch, a common hymenopterous parasite of curculio larvae, started today. 
Parasitise-, is expected to be heavier than usual on account of the high per- 
centage of small curculio larvae this year. 
G. P. Moznette and H. S. Adair (April 26): The plum curculio is reported by 
local peach growers as being much less abundant in this locality (Albany) than 
in former years. The infestation was so light that the first spray was omitted. 
The small number early in the season is probably due largely to the total 
absence of a peach crop during 1932 in this locality. 
C. H. Alden (May 19): The plum curculio is moderately abundant at Cornelia. 
There is 20 per cent infestation in sprayed drops, 73 per cent infestation in 
unsprayed drops. 
Illinois. J. H. Bigger (May): May 18 at Grafton I saw feeding which appeared 
to be 2 to 3 days old. Oviposition cuts were also present. 
Wisconsin. C. L. Fluke (May 24): Specimens have been collected since May 15. 
Tennessee. G. M. Bentley (May): The plum curculio is moderately abundant through- 
out the peach and apple district. 
Missouri. L. Haseman (May 23): The plum curculio is less abundant than usual in 
central Missouri. It began work May 16. 
Arkansas. P. D. Sanders (May 24): Pupae were found in cages today . a*- Nashville. 
Two broods are almost sure to occur since the commercial crop of peaches does 
not move until July 15 - 20, 
Mississippi. C. Lyle and assistants (May): The plum curculio is reported as very 
abundant throughout the .greater part of the State. 
CAMBIUM CURCULIO ( Cono tracheitis anaglypticus Say) 
South Carolina. W, C. Nettles and 0. L. Cartwright (May 22): The cambium curculio 
(C. anaglypticus ) is more abundant in College orchards than during the last 
four years.
