PLUM CURCULIO ( Conotrachelus nenuphar Host. ) 
Virginia. A. M. Woodside (October 25): .. The plum curculio emerged fron winter 
quarters in large numbers. The losses in unsprayed orchards were heavy, but 
where the sprajr schedule was followed, they were not severe and, if there had 
been a normal crop, would Iiavo been considered negligible by most growers. 
In view of the light set of fruit, the damage was more noticeable. In August 
County the losses were heavier than in any season since 1929. In Rockingham 
County the overwintering infestation was heavier than last year, and about th 
same as in 1930. Gathering of drops indicated that there was little damage
