sulphate 1-1,000 and soap appears to have killed a large percentage 
of the young* An interesting feature of this infestation is that

PEACH 
PEACH BOKER ( Aegeria exitiosa Say) 
Georgia 0*I*Snapp (August 7). "At least 95 per cent of the peach growers 
in the peach belt of Georgiia will use para-dichlorobenzene for 
this insect* Thare will he bwtwsen three hundred thousand and 
four hundred thousand pounds €£ this material used in this State 
this year." 
PLUM CURCULIO ( Conotrachelus nenuphar Hbst*) 
Georgia 0-I.Snapp (September ll)* "The curculio damage to peached in the 
Cornelia or northeastern Georgia district was greatest than in 
central Georgia this year. The infestation was heavier there 
than it has been for the past several years and is readily 
accounted for by the failure of the growers in that section to 
use the full amount of arsenate of lead in the important last 
application for the second generation, and also to the prevalent 
rainy season. This district is not in the peach belt of central 
Georgia- At Fort Valley adults of the second generation were 
emerging during the last faw days of July and the first week 
in August* Jarring of orchards during the first week in August 
gave less than 1 beetle per tree* The jarrings a year ago 
gave an average of over 5 beetles per tree* This is largely 
due to effective control measures practised during the past year* 
Third-generation eggs were taken on the morning of August 17* 
This is perhaps the first record of a partial third generation 
in this latitude* On August 22 larvae of this generation were 
noted in the insectary entering the fruit; on September 11, a 
full-grown curculio larva, of the third generation left the fruit 
in the insectary. This larva immediately took to the soil and 
started to prepare for pupation- A number of adults of the 
third generation will in all probability be bred out before the 
close of the season*" 
Conotrachelus anaglypticus Say 
Georgia 0*I*Snapp. n This insect whose life history is very similar 
to that of C. nenuphar has been bred from peaches that fell 
to the ground during June* In all probability this species 
frequently attacks -peaches in Georgia and all of the damage 
heretofore has been attributed to the latter species- Frequently 
the adults of anaglypticus have been taken from the frames while 
Jarring for C_» nenuphar ."
