in that section and observers are finding a considerable amount 
of fruit scarring, the result of their work. Mr. A. R. Jenks 
of West Acton, in Middlesex County, reports in his region that 
cunculio damage seems to "be very severe. 
Connecticut W. H. Barrow (June ): Some orchards have secuted very good control 
"by following up the calyx spray soon with two more applications. 
Hew York C. R. Crosby and assistants: Plum curculio is generally serious 
over the fruit section of the State. Damage on pears and apples 
in some cases quite as serious as on plums, Infestations running 
as high as kO per cent in Genesee County and 50 to 60 per cent 
in Dutchess County have been recorded. 
Delaware C. 0. Houghton (May 15): A moderate amount of injury to various 
fruits is appearing here and elsewhere in the State. 
R. W. Leiby: The first curculio secured by jarring peach trees 
at Aberdeen, March 26, was one day earlier than in 1922. Emergence 
has been erratic. Prospects are for a light infestation for 
1923, ovring to severe winter conditions and a comparatively small 
number going into hibernation last fall because of a successful 
control campaign waged throughout the season of 1928. The first 
egg was secured this season in the insectary on April lU, and 
and the first egg-wras found in the field on April 19* 
Oliver I. Snapp (June 20): The adults of the first generation 
began to emerge from the soil June 7. 1923» They were leaving 
in numbers for 10 days following. It is believed that only the 
Georgia Bells and Elbertas will be attacked by second-generation 
larvae this year. It has been found that the newly emerged beetles 
feed for a period of 10 days or two weeks before egg deposition, 
and this will give the Hiley, an important commercial variety 
of peach in Georgia, time to mature and be harvested before being 
attacked by the second brood. Parasites of C_.> nenupha r are 
unusually numerous this year. Triaspis curculionis is the most 
common parasite in Georgia. Some parasite boxes containing C. 
nenuphar larvae show parasitism of over lU per cent. 
S. B. Pracker (June 15) : The curculio is very bad in places in 
Dane County, aid is also reported from Jackson County, Madison, 
and Black River Palls. It is more abundant as compared xvith an 
average year. 
T. H. Jones (May 22): The first adults issued today from "drops" 
collected on April 2U and kept in a jar in a well ventilated 
insectary. 
PLUM APHID ( Hysteroneura setariae Thos.) 
Massachusetts A. I. Bourne (June 23): The plum aphid is; present in considerable 
numbers, particularly on a few of our Burbank trees.
