THE LESSER PEACH BOKER

Jrom the comparatively sluggish and
sioro conspicuous females of tho

jiarontly more c.reful in placing eggs,
always selecting a placo which will

The number of generations occur

pecially difficult to determine becanso

some attemps have been made
iy this Bureau during the past two
to obtain an acurate knowledgo on
4hls point by keeping periodical re
cords of speciments taken from a
somber of peach trees during the
nUre breeding season. So far,
.lowoTor, tho data obtained does not
'warrant a definite or positive state

ed generation of larvea throughout
tho fall of tho year; these pass tho
winter and mnturo tho following
spring. Hcnco two cycles of this In
sect are Indicated during tho calen
dar year In tho latitude of Georgia.
A clearer conception of tho probablo
occurrence of these two generations
may bo obtained by consulting Table
II.
In Georgia, In 1906, tho first pu
pa of what may bo called tho winter
generation was found on February
27, and by the middle of March they
wcro common. A month later, lu
April, tho adults of thnt generation
wero common, continuing so through
out May and part of June. Dy tho
latter part of May tho pupa became
scarce, showinc by this dato that tho
winter generation was practically ov
er. From that uato on wo conciuuo
that the larvea then present in tho
trees were practically all of the next,
or summer, generation. By tho last
week In July, pupa were again found
In numbers and continued to Increase
well into September, when adults of
tho summer generation were observed
ovipositing. Tho winter generation
therefore, became established mainly
In the latter part of August and dur
ing the whole of September, and tho
larvea from eggs deposited then had
ample time to obtain at least two
months' steady growth beforo being
disturbed by cold wea'er. The fore
going statement Is based on a series
of specimens collected weekly
throughout the entire season of 1906,
from February to September, at Wyr
tle, Ga., by A. R. Rosonfeld and
tho author, combined with records
obtained by Mr. James II. Beattle,
during the Investigations in 1905 at
Fort Valley, Ga.
Observations made in tho vicinity
ot Odenton, Md., and Washington, D.
C., shows that tho pupa were present
in the (firing as early as tho first
week In April and that adults issued
from these during the first week
In May. Tho pupa continued pre
sent at late as May 3, and thereafter
we havo no record. Mr. Fred John
son, of the Bureau, records seeing
adults at North East, Pa., on May 29; i

antll yesterday would he bind himself
-to build the road In any given time.
Under such conditions It was Impossi
ble for him to secure the right of way
through that property, which Is now
owned by the O, V. L. company. How
ever, Immediately upon his arrival
jhoro Mr. Oliver sought out W. Lair
Thompson, the attorney for tho com
pany, and a contract was drawn up
wheroby the right of way was secured
la consideration of tho road being
built this summer into Gooso Lake

It does seem that women have
more than a fair share of the aches

must "keep uo," must attend to du
ties in spite of constantly aching
backs, or headaches, dizzy spells,
benring-down pains; they must stoop
over, when to stoop mentis torture.
They must walk and bend and work
with rncking pains and many aches
from kidney ills. Kidneys cause
more suffering than any other or

well and health is easily maintained.

Miss. William T. Rigby, tho chair

Rigby will have to pay the money
out of his own pocket if tho reward

is no authority to pay it out of the
