North Carolina R„ W, Leiby (September IS): The oriental fruit moth has appeared 
this season throughout our commercial Sandhills peach section

more damage than usual to peach trees. The long drougths during 
the summers of 192U and 192 5 have probably helped to make 
conditions fr vorab}e for rapid increase of these insects. Rcpcrts 
cf their work have been received from many parts of the State.
