Illinois. W. P. Flint (April 19): No oriental fruit moth twig injury in southern 
Illinois as yet, 
Tennessee. E. G. Butler (March 31): Pupae were found in the insectary stock at 
Earriman March 15, and today (March 31) 4 adults emerged. This is tv/o weeks 
earlier than the first observed emergence in 1932. (April 11): Eggs were 
found in insectary stock jars on April 10. These are the first eggs observed 
this season. (April 20): Eggs laid April 10 were hatching today (April 20). 
These were the first eggs secured from the insectary stock of moths. 
LESSER PEACE BORER ( Aegeria pictipes G. & R.) 
Georgia. 0. I. Snapp (April 20): The peak of spring -"brood emergence has just 
"been reached at Fort Valley. 
PLUM CURCULIO ( Conotrachelus nenuphar Ebst.) 
Delaware. L. A. Stearns (April 24): 'The first emergence from hibernation was 
observed April 10. 
South Carolina. A. Lutken (April 24): Plum curculios are scarce generally. 
Emergence has been slight. 
Georgia. 0. I. Snapp (April 14): An examination of adult curculios in hibernation 
cages containing bark and Johnson grass reveal a 100 per cent mortality. This 
is attributed to the unusually cold weather in February which followed a period 
sufficiently warm to cause peach trees to bloom. Jarring records show that 
there are very few curculios in the orchards and the infestation to date is 
much less than that of an average year. A few of the larvae in peach and plum 
are now about 1 week old. (April 20): This insect should not cause much 
damage this year if emergence from hibernation has already been completed. 
Jarring records continue to show a very light infestation in most orchards. 
Temperatures have- been below normal, and this may be keeping some individuals 
in hibernation. 
J. 3. Gill (April 25): The plum curculio is moderately abundant at Albany on 
peaches and plums. 
W. E. Clarke (April 6): 'The first eggs were found in fruits today at Thomaston 
(April 10) : The first larvae of the season were found today. 
C. E. Alden (April 20): The plum curculio is moderately abundant in Cornelia. 
I.t'iwas found in peach orchards April 10. 
Illinois. 77. P. Flint (April 19): No curculios have been found in jarring peach 
trees in southern Illinois. 
Tennessee. G. M. Bentley (April): The plum curculio is moderately abundant in 
Knox County. 
E. G. Butler (April 6): The first overwintering curculios were taken in the 
jarring this morning in Earriman. This is two days later than the first ones 
taken in 1932. (April 20): The first egg was found this morning in an 
insectary stock jar. The infestation is much less than normal in all orchards 
so far examined. 
Missouri. L. Easeman (April 24): No curculios have shown up in central Missouri.
