few adults have been captured in most of the orchards. A light 
source of infestation has "been anticipated on account of the 
light infestation in 1931 and the probability of mortality 
from leather conditions during the hibernation season. (April 
25): A larva about three days old was found in a small green 
peach today. A number of eggs were also found in little 
peaches. Evidently so~'e ovi-oosition lias taken place during 
the last 10 days or 2 weeks. 
C. H. Alden (April 18): The plum curculio is scarce at Cor- 
nelia. First adults were caught on jarring frames April 9. 
U. H. Clarke (April 18): The first curculios of the season 
were caught by jarring this morning April 4; two specimens 
were submitted by a Thomas ton grower ^ho estimated that 200 
trees were jarred. Experimental jarring this morning, April 5, 
showed only 6 curculios caught in three hours of jarring. 
The first spring emergence of overwintering curculios is 19 
days later than in 1930 and 11 days later than in 1931. 
Jarring records sho'" a steady increase in numbers of beetles 
emerging. Feeding injury has been found in the orchards, 
but no eggs have been found. Mating has been observed in in- 
sectary cages every day since April 8. 
H. G-. Butler (April 4): The first plum curculios to emerge 
from hibernation at Harriman were taken today, April 4. 
L. Haseman (April 25): Adults of the plum curculio were 
taken on apple tree trunks April 23 at Columbia. Early plums 
are not yet in shuck-split stage, April 25. 
AVCURCULIO ( Conotrachelus anaglypticus Say) 
0. I. Snapp (April 25): The first adult of the season was 
taken fro^ a -oeach tree today at Fort Valley. This species 
will breed in oeach fruit.

L. A. Steams (April 21): Jarred from peach trees at Bridge- 
ville and Camden April 19.

'"/. H. Clarke (Anril 18): Large numbers have been caught in 
jarring peach trees for curculio at Thomaston. Feeding injury 
has been noticed on blossoms and leaves, and feeding has been 
observed. Varieties that did not have a full crop of neaches 
h^ve suffered a decrease in fruits throu;h injury done by 
this insect. (April 20): Hundreds of shotted cucumber beetles 
were caught in' jarring peaches in middle Georgia.
