PEACH BORER ( Aegeria exitiosa Say) 
0. I. Snapp (October l): Pupation in the field at Port 
Valley was light during September as compared with August. 
The peaki;-r of moth emergence occurred on September 11. One 
female depositid 826 eggs within a 24-hour period. Another 
female deposited a total of 1,257 eggs. (October 20): The 
last, pupae of the season in the field were collected on 
October 16. 
J. J. Davis (October 24): Inquiries for controls were 
received during the past month from Crawfordsville, Indian.:;-' 
Springs, Lakeville, Linden, M'il^n, Poseyville, Richmond, and

M. H. Swenk (October 26): The peach tree borer was reported 
as killing peach trees during the third week in October in 
Douglas' County. 
C. Lyle and assistants (October): The peach borer is very 
abundant over the greater part of the State. This, however, 
is not an unusual -condition in Mississippi. (Abstract, J.A.H.) 
PLUM CURCULIO ( Conotrachelus nenuphar Hbst.) 
A. I. Bourne (October 25): The plum curculio caused very 
serious injury to fruit., particularly apples. Growers on 
the whole did not have as, good success in controlling it this 
year as they did last. 
H. U. Worthley (October 2): The plum curculio is scarce at 
State College. There were few late feeding punctures, even 
on unsprayed trees. 
L. A. Stearns (October 23): The plum curculio is reported 
as a partial second brood developed in southern Delaware. 
0. I. Snapp (October l): Second-generation adults began to 
emerge from the soil on September 26. Twenty-five to 27 
days were spent, in the soil during September by individuals 
of the second generation in the larval, pupal, and adult 
stages combined. Larvae reached maturity in the fruit in 17 
days during September. 
C. H. Alden (October 23): The plum curculio is in hibernation 
at Cornelia. 
W. A. Price (October 24): The plum curculio did serious 
damage late in the season in some isolated orchards. One 
fruit grower in Rowan County said that this insect damaged 
his apple crop 50 per cent this year.
