PLUM CURCULIO ( Co no tracheitis n enuphar Host.) 
L. A. Stearns (May 23): The peak of emergence from hiberna~r 4 
tion occurred from May 4 to 11. The insect was reported as 
injuring pear at Bridgeville. 
ST. Y. State Coll. of Agr . , Weekly News Letter (May): The 
first adult was observed in the field on May 11 in the Hudson 
Eiver Valley. By the middle of the month they were emerging 
in numbers, though not unusually abundant. (Abstract, J.A.H.) 
W. C. Nettles (April 28): During the week prior to April 
11 one curculio was jarred from the trees. On April 11 trees 
were jarred and two captured from peach and plum trees. 
0. I. Snapp (May 14): Pull-grown larvae began to leave peach 
drops at Port Valley today. This is a week later than last 
year and seventeen days later than in 1930, when only one 
brood occurred. The present stage of development of peaches 
is about a month later than normal. 
W. H. Clark (April 29): In a mixed peach, a^ople, and plum 
orchard at The Rock, Upson Co., a heavy infestation was 
observed. Practically all peaches showed feeding and egg 
punctures, and in some fruits half-grown larvae were found. 
This orchard has received no attention this season. 
W. P. Plint (May 20): Mr. Chandler reports plum curculio 
infestation very light on apple this year. Owing to the 
shortage of the peach crop the insect is more abundant on 
the few peaches remaining on the trees. The injury has been 
done chiefly since the warm days starting May 3. 
C. 0. Eddy (May): Evidence this year shows that the curculio 
is much more abundant than during 1931. 
H. G. Eutler (May 25): Eggs were found in stock |jars at 
the insectary at Harriman.on May 5. The first mature larvae 
left fallen fruit May IS. This is. four days earlier than 
larvae were found in 1951. 
Missouri L. Haseman (May 20): Very abundant and active at Columbia, 
causing plums to drop and' larvae are feeding. Adults appeared 
early in May puncturing plum, cherry, and apple. 
Arkansas Wm. G. Amstein (May 2): Heavy attack on reaches in a small 
orchard at Hazen. 
C. L. Rodgus (May 7): I don't understand why we should 
have as many a.sy^So at Nashville when there were practically 
no wormy peaches last year at harvest time.
