, A. M. Woodside (June 2*0 : Overwintered adults are still deposit- 
ing a few eggs in the insectary at Staunton. First-brood adults 
began to emerge on June 22. 
Georgia. 0. I. Snapp (June 20): The infestation at Fort Valley is 
still lighter than that of an average year. The early and raid- 
season varieties of peaches have been harvested remarkably free 
from damage. Adults of the first generation began to emerge from 
the soil in the laboratory on May 2k t 11 days earlier than the 
first emergence last year. Jarring in commercial peach orchards 
revealed a rnrkod increase in adults on peach trees on May 2J and 
28. Most of these were new beetles. Second-generation egg deposi- 
tion began at Fort Valley on June 15, exactly 3 weeks earlier than 
last year. Late peaches will therefore be subjected to a second 
brood. Five percent of the first-generation female curculios had 
started to deposit eggs by June IS. 
Tennessee. W, F. Turner (June 20): From two to five plum curculios 
were taken per quarter tree jarred in a peach orchard in Roane 
County, in eastern Tennessee, on June l6. Curculios were taken 
from every tree. 
Missouri. L. Hasenan (June 2^): The plum curculio has been pupating 
at Qolumbia since June 20, alt-hough up to June 2^ no adults have 
emerged in breeding cages. 
ORIENTAL FRUIT MOTH ( Grapholitha moles ta Busck) 
Connecticut. P. Garman (June 20): Scarce in most orchards early in 
the month. Infested tips apparent in many places. 
New Jersey. W. P. Yettor, Jr. (May 21): Spring activity in Burlington 
County is 10 to lU days earlier than it was in 1937^ Cool, windy, 
dry weather has somewhat retarded activity as well as the twig 
growth, which, incidentally, is shorter and harder than usual at 
this time of the season. Twig injury is about normal, although 
the damage varies considerably between orchards. Larvae are al- 
ready entering the small peaches, 
Delaware. L. A. Stearns (June 25): Parasitism of twig-feeding, first- 
brood larvae is the highest recorded during the last 10 years (be- 
tween 70 and SO percent). Injury by second-brood larvae is at its 
peak. 
South Carolina. 0. L. Cartwright (June): All peach areas in South 
Carolina have developed a heavier infestation this season than 
last. Twig injury is especially noticeable in the Johnston-Ridge 
Spring section.
