LESSER PEACH BORER ( Sesia pictipes G. & R. ) 
0. I.Snapp (October 20): The infestation is apparently 
heavier then usual in orchards v:hich .vere r? inter- injur id last 
fall or which have been somewhat ' neglected or carelessly' handled. 
The large numbers of trees injured by low temperature last 
fall have contributed to the increased infestation. 
ORIENTAL FRUIT MOTH ( Laspeyresi? molesta Busck) 
P. Garman (October 24): The oriental fruit moth is reported 
in Hew Haven and. Hartford Counties. The situation is much 
improved ovor that prevailing a year ago. natural enemies 
observed are Trif n o graroma mi nut urn Riley, Kacrocentrus 
ancylivora Roh. , and C-lypta ruf is cut el la ris Cress. 
R. L. Payne through C. R. Crosby (October): Larvae of the 
first brood of oriental perch moths could be found in practically 
all sections of Orange County, especially in young orchards, 
tfhe growth" of young trees vras checked in a number of orchards 
as a result of this pest, killing the young terminals. 
Staff of Geneva Experiment Station (October 20): The 
oriental fruit moth is moderately abundant in western New 
York. (September 29): The oriental fruit moth is moderately 
abundant in Niagara County. 
T. L. Guyton (October 24): In counts made for oriental 
fruit moth infestation, the infestation at Harrisburg ran 
about 20 per cent on Elbertas and 50 per cent on Iron Mountain and 
Sal way. In the Chambersburg district the counts on Elbertas 
ran from about 4 per cent to 35 per cent. Counts in all 
instances were made by cutting open all of the fruits from 
a particular tree or from d. measured lot of the run of the tree. 
L. M. Peairs (October 20): -he oriental fruit moth is 
moderately round ant in Berkeley County. 
'..". A. Price (October 23): The oriental fruit moth is 
moderately abundant. The amount of twig injury has been very 
materially reduced this year, owing probably to an absence of 
peaches and to the prolonged drought, the latter resulting in 
a small amount of growth and in early hardening of the wood, 
PLUM CURCULIO ( Conotrachelus nenuphar Host.) 
M, P. Zappe (October 23): Curculios h-~ve caused a large amount 
of sc-irs on fruit, especially the fruit on outside rows of 
orchard trees. Fruit also shows a considerable amount of fall 
feeding punctures.
