PEACH 
PLUM CURCULIO ( Conotrachelus nenupha r Hbst.) 
Georgia. 0. I. Snapp (March 22): As a result of the heav 1 ' infestation at 
Fort Valley last yer>r, when two generations occurred, the hibernating 
population was larger than usual; therefore a heavy infestation is an- 
ticipated this year. The hibernation season was a favorable one for the 
curculio. Adult curculios began leaving hibernation this year in advance 
of full bloom, which occurred on March 17 on Elbertas and Hileys, and 
by March 22 they had reached the center of the orchards and were dis-

earlv appearance of the curculio, relative to blooming of peaches. The 
infestation is heavier than usual. 
C. H. Alden (March 22): Ho curculios have been found in peach 
orchards at Cornelia to d^te. In 193^ the first curculios were caught 
on April 9. Elbertas are now in full blocm, about 10 days earlier 
than last year.
