oriental fruit moth, from pupae, taken near Cairo took place

hibernating under the tree on the ground showed that about 
50 per cent had been -inter killed, as compared with 75 per 
cent to 90 per cent on the tree. 
Mississippi R. "«7. Harncd and assistants (-^pril): The oriental fruit

abundant throughout tne State. 
Delaware L. A.Stearns (April 15): The first curculio emerged from 
hibernation at Bridgeviile and Camden, April 14. 
Virginia ,7. J.Schoene (April 21): The plum curculio emerged this 
year in the central and northern sections of the State about 
April 12. Considerable interest has been attracted to the

0. I. Snapp (April 22): The first collection of peach 
"drops 11 has just been made at Fort Valley. Cf those collected 
from trees sprayed according to the recommended spray schedule, 
10.6 per cent were infested with curculio larvae as compared 
with 42.7 per cent infestation for the first ccllection last 
year from the same orchard treated according to the same spray 
schedule. Of those collected from trees dusted according to 
the recommended dust schedule, 23.5 per cent were infested 
""ith curculio larvae as compared with 55 per cent infestation 
for the first collection last year from the same orchard 
treated according to the same dust schedule. From these 
figures a comparison can be made of the early-season curculio 
infestation in 1929 and 1930.
