PEACH BORER ( Aegerio. exitiosg Say) 
A correction: "(July 12)" should be inserted after 
"recorded today" in the second line of the note by 0. I. 
Snapp on the peach borer in the Insect Pest Survey Bulletin, 
Vol. 10, Ho. 6, page 279. 
Georgia C. H. Alden (September 20): The pe-ch borer is moderately 
abundant. Moths are out and are ovipositing. 
0. I. Snapp (September 20): . Oviposition in the fields 
and insectary is heavy. One female has deposited over 
900 eggs. 
Indiana j. j, Davis (September 22): The peach-tree borer was 
reported from Walkertov/n and Ligonier during the month. 
Illinois S. C. Chandler (September 15): Infestation has evidently 
not been decreased to any extent by the extremes of heat 
of the past summer. A recent survey in southern Illinois 
peach sections showed from 50 to 90 per cent of the trees 
not treated in the past two years to be wormy. By September 3, 
84 per cent of the old worms ba.d emerged, 13 per cent '.vere 
in the pupal stage, and only 3 per cent were still in the 
larval stage. V.'e are recommending treatment by September 20 
in this section, this year, which is a little earlier than 
usual . 
Michigan R. H. Pettit (September): The peach borer is very abundant 
in general. 
Missouri L. Haseman (September 24): The peach borer is moderately 
abundant. In central Missouri borers are quite abundant. 
Mississippi - R. W. Hamed and assistants (September): This insect is 
quite generally reported throughout the State and is very 
abundant at Meridian and Agricola. 
ORIENTAL FRUIT MOTH ( L-speyresia molesta Busck) 
Virginia G. B. Could (September 24): The oriental fruit moth is 
moder at el y n bindant . 
Ohio T. H. Parks (September 27): while the infestation in the 
Elbert- peaches was very light, there h~s developed a l^.te 
brood which seriously damaged l-.te varieties harvested after 
the middle of September. This statement applies to counties 
joining Lake Erie, as the crop in all other counties was 
killed by severe winter temperature.
