PEACH 
PEACE BORER ( Aegeria exitiosa Say) 
Missouri L. Ens amen . (March 18): Very few complaints of this pest have "been 
received. The para&ichlorobenzene remedy is being widely used in 
Missouri. 
0BIENTA1 PEACH MOTH CLas-pevresia moles ta Busck) 
Georgia Oliver I. Snapp (March 21): At Fort Valley this insoct is very 
scarce in orchards that were moderately heavily infested last 
summer. We are wondering if the lack of food late in the season 
in this latitude did not starve out many larvae of the last 1924 
generation. The first 1925 spring pupation took place on February 
25, and the first adult emerged on March 8. 
PFACH TT7IG MOTH ( Anars ia lineetella Zell. ) 
California T. D. Urbahns (March 20): The first larvae of the peach twig- 
moth were observed active for this season at Atwater. They were 
just beginning to attack the unfolding leaf buds of peach. 
PLUM CURCULIO ( Conotrachelus re.iuphar Kbst. ) 
North Carolina R. W. Leiby (March 20): First beetles jarred from peach trees 
March 18 at Aberdeen. This is 19 days earlier than last year, 
8 days earlier than in 1923, and 9 days earlier than in 1922. 
Indications are that winter survival is heavy. 
Georgia Oliver I. Snapp (March 21): The first adult of the season ap- 
peared at Fort Valley from hibernation in hibernation experiments 
on March 4. The peak of appoarrcice of the beetles from hiberna- 
tion in the Georgia Peach Belt evidently took place on March 19. 
The maximum temperature for five days during the preceding week 
was over 85 dogrees. The plum curculio is appearing from hiber- 
nation earlier than usual this year on account of the earlier 
s^aann. 
TWELVE SPOTTED CUCUMBER BEETLE ( Diabrotica duodecimrunctata Fab.) 
Georgia Oliver I. Snapp (March 21 ): More abundant thai usual at Fort 
Valley, feeding on peach flowers. In some cases the little 
poaches are devoured. 
TARNISHED PLANT- BUG ( Lygis ^rater.sis L. ) 
Illinois W. P. Flint (March 9): Adults of this species noted in peach or- 
chards at Anna, 111., on this date. Tempo raturo above 80° F.
