• P3ACH 
PEACH BORER : (Ae-cria exitiosa Say) 
Pennsylvania. H. E. Hodakiss • (July 26): The peach borer is very abundant in cen- 
tral Pennsylvania, especially on young trees. 
L. B. Smith (August 26): The peach borer is moderately abundant in some or- 
chards in eastern Pennsvlvariia. 
Georgia. 0. I. Snapp (July 29): 'The infestation of Ac.-cria exitiosa is somewhat 
heavier than usual at Fort Valley which .we attribute to the use of less para- 
dichlorobenzeno during recent- years, as a result of economic conditions, and 
the mild winter. The first male of the season emerged on July 24 and the 
first female on July 27. Oviposition began on July 29. Moth emergence 
start ".d a little earlier than usual which is perhaps due to the mild winter 
having permitted feeding by the larvae on more days during the- winter months 
than usual, thereby shortening the larval feeding period. 
Tennessee. H. G. Butler (July 27): Field emergence of peach borer adults was 
somewhat greater in July than in June. The peak of emergence usually occurs 
during the first part of September. 
G. M. Bentley (August 17): The -peach borer is moderately abundant in eastern 
Tennessee. These insects occur mostly in orchards which have been temporari- 
ly abandoned owing to low prices of fruit, 
ORIENTAL FRUIT MOTH ( Gfraoholitha molesta Busck)

the northern and eastern portions of the State. 
New York. IT. Y. State Coll. of Agr., Weekly News Letter (August 23): The orien- 
tal fruit, moth has causer, the early peaches to be very wormy, and has damag- 
ed fully half the crop of quinces in many orchards. 
Delaware. L. A. Stearns (August 23): Oriental fruit moth infestation is light 
owing to heavy parasitization. 
South Carolina. A. Lutken (A ; -ust 24): Larvae of the oriental fruit moth were 
more abundant than 'Usuo.1 in the crop of Elberta peaches. In some cases 4 to 
10 per cent of the peaches were infested. 
Georgia. W. K. Clarke (July 26): The oriental fruit moth is moderately to very 
abundant in middle Georgia. Some fruit injury in the upper half of the State. 
C. H. Alden (August 26): The oriental fruit moth is moderately abundant; as 
high- as 30 per cent of fruit infested at harvest, .1932. 
Ohio. T. H. Parks -(August 27): Injury to' Elberta peaches .now being picked at 
Columbus is much greater than last season. In one orchard with d light crop 
of peaches, the fruit infestation averages between 40 and -50 per cent.
