CODLING MOTH 
The Middle Atlantic and Middle Western States were characterized by a light 
apple crop and considerable infestation. A high surviving population in the 
spring was restrained by unfavorable early summer conditions and control was 
successful; favorable late-summer conditions allowed increase and injury, ending 
the season with average or higher infestation. In the Pacific States, especially 
Washington, high survival, early development and increase , with unusual late in- 
jury, were reported. New Jersey and eastern New York reported light early injury 
and moderate late injury; western New York a condition near normal; Maryland, Ohio, 
and South Carolina rather high infestation on a light crop. Virginia reported 
late season increase and injury, as did Kentucky and Michigan. Indiana reported 
high population and early activity, setbacks from weather in early summer, and 
increase to normal with favorable late summer conditions, Kansas reported similar 
conditions. Wisconsin reported unusual infestation, and Minnesota and Mississippi 
considerable infestation in unsprayed orchards. (P. M. Wadley, Bureau of 
Entomology and Plant Quarantine, U. S. D. A.)

reported a decrease. Delaware, North Cars]
