0. I. Snapp (April 22): One nearly full-grown larva was ob- 
served in a green peach a* Fort Valley, central Georgia, on April 
8, Full-grown larvae were recovered fron peach drops in trays on 
April 13, which is 3 weeks earlier than last year, and the peak of 
larval emergence fron peach drops occurred on April 19. Conditions 
in peach orchards were favorable for the matured larvae to enter 
the soil. Heavy rains beat peach drops into the soil and nadc the 
soil wet for a considerable depth. This facilitated the entrance 
of larvae into the soil and the construction of their soil ceils. 
The infestation is now considered lighter than that of an average 
year, which is largely attributed to the light infestation last 
year and the lighter than usual carry-over of adult beetles. It 
is probable that at least the Elbcrta peaches in Georgia will be 
subjected to a second brood of the curculio this year. The peak of 
the Hiley drop occurred on April 15, and the peak of the Elberta 
drop on April 20. The drop was unusually heavy this year, but the 
curculio infestation in the drop was light. 
Mississippi. II. C. Peets (April 25): lanage in arane peach orchards in 
Lincoln County recently reported. 
Tennessee. L. B. Scott (April 26):' The infestation appears to be about 
normal in north-central Tennessee. Damaged peaches are very common. 
Kentucky. 77. A. Price (April 27): On April 17 egg deposition on cherries 
was reported fron Cadiz, and specinens were jarred fron plum trees 
at Henderson on April IS. Egg punctures were observed at Lexington 
on April 25. 
BLACK PEACH APHID ( Anur aphis persicao-niger Snith) 
Virginia. W. J. Schoene (April 20): The black peach aphid has been re- 
ported over a wide area. 
South Carolina. W. C. Nettles and P. Sherraan (April 28): Black 'peach 
aphid has been much complained of in commercial peach orchards in 
the western part of the State. 
LEAPIIOPPEF.S (Cicadellidae) 
Virginia. A. M. Woodside (April 20): Leaf hoppers arc very numerous on 
peach trees at Crozet and Timberville. The most connon species is 
Erythroneura ob 1 i qua ( S ay ), but there arc a few specinens of E. hartii 
(Gill) and E. laws oni ana 3ak^ , E. lawsoniana is fairly common on apple, 
together with a few individuals of the other two species. 
PEAR 
PEAR PSYLLA ( Psyllia pyricola Poerst.) 
New Hampshire. J. G. Conklin (April 21): On April 20 a few adults were 
seen in one of the University orchards at Durham. On this date the 
temperature rose to 85" "°7 2 p.m. The next day very heavy egg de- 
position was noted in the orchard.
