PEACH BORIS ( Aegeria exitiosa Say) 
Georgia Oliver I. Snanp (March 13): A large quantity of paradichlorobenzene 
was used again in the Georgia peach belt last fall, and uniformly 
.p-cod results ^ere reported. Although the peach borer is prevalent 
in all sections of the peach belt it is now under very good control. 
Mississippi R. W. Earned (March 27): This insect has been observed during the 
-•inter by Kimble Harmari at Gulfp.ort, H« P. Colmer at Moss Point, 
D. "7. Grimes at Leland, R„ 3. Deen at Tupelo, and G. P„ Williams 
at Burant. They have reported in regard to these insects on 
several occasions, and the reports vary greatly as follows: "Pew 
found," "'slight damage," "medium damage," and "bad. " 
ORIENTAL PEACH MOTH ( Lasoeyresi a molest a 3usck) 
Georgia Oliver I. Snapp (March 19): The first pupation record of the 
spring brood ™as on February 24,1926. No spring-brood moths 
have issued to date (March 13)- Anticipating a very light in- 
festation in Georgia this year. 
PLUM CURCULIO ( Conotrache lus nenuphar Hbst. ) 
Georgia Oliver I. Snapp (March 19): A lighter than normal infestation 
is anticipated in the Georgia peach "belt this year. On account 
of the light infestation in 1925, the curculio population in the 
orchards at the close of that season was lighter than normal. The 
numbers were perhaps materially reduced by the very low temperature 
of 19-5°P. on March lU after many adults had left hibernation. The 
peach crop '"as also damaged from 40 to 50 per cent by the freeze 
of the l4th.

A MOTH (Mineola scitulella Dyar ) 
Idaho Claude Wakeland (March 19) : A small moth was reared from larvae 
that caused serious loss in a prune orchard near Boise last 
season. The larvae are wintering through in light cocoons on 
the outside of the bark. The work was similar to that of the 
peach twig borer and the owner is spraying now with lime sulphur 
as for control of that insect. The infestation is quite heavy 
and distributed over a large area. 
A UEEVIL ( Olyntoscelis squarulata Cr. ) 
California T. 3. Urbahns (March 17): Considerable : mage was reported by 
?.. L. Mougaret who investigated vineyards in Ccachella, Imperial
