New Jersey L. 3. Smith (August 27): The fruit infestation in this 
district (Poorest own) as obtained from counts of 11,000 peaches 
in 14 orchards has been: 
Greensboro 3 per cent July 13 tp 17. 
Carmen 3 " " July 30 to August 7 
Piley 11 ; ' " August 12 to 22 
Elberta 11 ;I " August 21 to 22. 
Invisible injury in midseason peaches runs higher, than the 
visible, being 8 per cent in the Hiley and 9 per cent in the 
Elberta. Observations made at the ©riental peach moth labora- 
tory indicate that -parasitism of the twig- infesting larvae 
continues very high as during the past three years, averaging 
for the south Jersey peach district, approximately 80 per 
cent; 100 per cent parasitism has been obtained from numerous 
midseason collections. Macrocentrus ancylivor . remains 
the dominant species. M. delicatus Cress. lS ^nuch more' abun- 
dant than heretofore, and is the second most important species. 
Glypta ruf iscutellarjs Cress, is much less abundant than last 
year. The egg parasite Trichogramma mi nu turn Riley has so far 
attained less than 10 per cent parasitism, with an exceedingly 
spotty distribution.
