SHOT-HOLE BORER ( Scolyt.us rugulosus Ratz.) 
S. W. Frost (September 15). "The fruit-tree barkbeetle is 
abundant in some orchards and has been found on living peach 
trees. On September 6, adults were issuing in great abundance 
from the limos of peach trees." 
0. I. Snapp (September 12). "This insect is doing considerable 
damage and is numerous in peach orchards , where the trees have 
become unhealthy from severe San Jose scale infestation. The San 
Jose scale is on the increase in central Georgia peach orchards, 
which accounts for a greater abundance of the barkbeetle." 
J. J. Davis (September 15). "The shot-hole borer continues to be 
the subject of frequent inquiries." 
W. P. Flint (September 18). "Damage by this insect has been quite 
general and in some cases the trees attacked have apparently been 
in good condition, but have been somewhat weakened by prolonged 
drought. Spring applications of nitrate of soda have saved many 
trees in which the injury was not too great." 
Caloeteron reticulatum Fab. and jC. terminale Say 
M. H. Swenk. "During the last week in August an unusual report 
was received from Franklin County to the effect that these 
lampyrid beetles were destroying peaches by eating into the fruit 
just as they were beginning to turn."

Massachusetts R. A. Van Meter (SeptemDer 13). "In the Hill sections of the 
State, especially, this insect is very serious on apples. It 
is worse than the codling moth."

in the southern counties this season. It is also extremely 
difficult to control."

0. I. Snapp (September 12). "The fall webworm is much more 
abundant than ncrmally in central Georgia. It is attacking 
pecans, persimmons, wild cherry and sassafras, and several 
nests have been found on peach with the larvae feeding on 
peach foliage."
