• C. H. Alden (April 15)1 Have "been jarring peach trees at Cornelia, 
in northeastern Georgia, since March 20, but no adults were found until 
April 13, when k were caught on 2U trees. On April 15 caught 23 on 2U 
trees. The emergence from hibernation is taking place long after full

Georgia. 0. I. Snapp (April 21): There has been no peach-twig injury from 
this insect to date at Port Valley (central Georgia), and first-brood 
larvae have not yet begun to appear. The first larvae (about 3 days old)

Ohio. R. B. Neiswander (April 7) : Hibernating larvae were abundant on quince 
trees in Ottawa County. Scales of bark and crevices yielded as many as 
63 living larvae on 1 tree. This condition existed in spite of the fact 
that birds had taken a considerable number and that approximately J>0 per- 
cent died during the winter. 
PEACH BORERS ( Conopia spp.) 
Idaho. R. W. Haegele (April ~f): A report on this borer appeared on page 13

usually had a heavy infestation of the peach borer (C, exitiosa Say) 
working at the ground level and below. The infested area was examined 
on April 7 a ^ all borers found in the trunks or crotches were dead, 
while the borers below the ground level or the snow line were alive. Min-
