Plum curculio punctures "began to appear during the last week 
of May in the Hudson River Valley, (abstract J. A. H.) 
Maryland E. N. Cory (May 6): The plum curculio is very abundant. 
Virginia p. J. Chapman (May 22): This insect is moderately abundant 
on peach, plum, and apple. 
"est Virginia F. S. Brooks (May): This species has been late in appearing 
this spring, probably on account of the prolonged cool 
weather. Oviposition scars were not "to be found in plums and 
other fruit near the middle of May, but by May 26 the scars 
w ere abundant. 
North Carolina C. H. Brannon (way 20): The curculio is causing unusually 
heavy damage to peaches this season. Specimens and complaints 
are being received from over all the State. 
Georgia 0. I. Snapp (May 16): The heavy drop as a result of the 
plum curculio and weather conditions left a very light crop of 
peaches in many orchards. The first-generation beetles are 
expected from the soil early in June, and we anticipate much 
damage to the light crop in those orchards in which control 
measures have not been enforced, as the infestation is very 
heavy. 
Florida J. R. Tatson and E. «7. Berger (May 21): This insect is very 
abundant in the northern half of the State. 
Illinois J. H. Bigger (May): Examinations for the plum curculio were 
made in Pike County May 7, but the first adult was observed 
on May 11. 
S. C. Chandler (May): The curculio infestation is moderate 
in southern Illinois in peach orchards, and regular jarrings 
indicate that it will not be so severe as it was last season. 
Minnesota. A. G. P.uggles and assistants (May): The plum curculio is 
moderately abundant throughout the fruit-growing section. 
Iowa C. J. Drake (May 20): This insect is fairly plentiful over 
the State. 
Alabama J..M. Robinson (May 23): The plum curculio is very abun- 
dant over the entire State. 
Mississippi R. '.'.". Horned and assistants (May): The plum curculio is r - 
ported as worse than it has been for several years in Chicka- 
saw, Calhoun, Lauderdale, Harrison, and Yazoo Counties, a.nd 
moderately abundant throughout practically the remainder of 
the State.
