SCIENTIFIC NOTES 
461 
The Oriental Peach Moth ( Laspeyresia molesta Busck.). Since the note appear¬ 
ing in the August number of the Journal, several serious outbreaks of this pest 
have been found in Pennsylvania. Through the efforts of Mr. E. M. Craighead 
of the Niagra Sprayer Company, several serious infestations have been found in 
the vicinity of Collegeville, Pa. Twenty-five percent of the early varieties and 
sixty percent of the late varieties show injury. The injury in the latter case is 
so serious that it will not pay to market the fruit. Orchards in the vicinity of 
York, Pa. show from ten to twelve percent injury. The pest has been found in 
noticeable numbers in York, Adams and Franklyn counties, Pennsylvania. The 
larvae of the fourth generation pupate chiefly at the stem end of the fruit. Some 
adults issued on September 7th making preparations for the fifth generation. On 
the bearing trees the injury was found most serious on the fruit, while on the non¬ 
bearing trees the injury was confined to the terminal shoots.
