0. I. Snapp (July 15). "The first curculio adult of the second 
generation transformed yesterday at Fort Valley. The second genera- 
tion will be small this year on account of the excellent control of 
the first generation. One of the best peach crops ever produced in 
Georgia has been harvested this year. The results of the curculio 
suppress ion are remarkable. All the varieties, especially the late

tion amounted to one wormy peach to 5/8 bushel basket . In a number

curculio infestation in drop peaches during 1922 shows a reduction of 
22.6 per cent from what it was one year ago."
