pupation occurred at Poughkeepsie by May 17, as compared to 20 percent 
at Germantown, and I 3 percent at Xinderhook, No moths observed in 
emergence cages nor in bait traps. Development is about average. 
Delaware. L. A. Stearns ..(May 23 )s Pupation amounted to approximately 75 
percent on May 17; emergence of spring-brood moths began on May I 5 
and has continued regularly since that date; eggs nOw being laid. 
Maryland, C. Graham (May 6); First emergence reported at College Park. 
Virginia. A. M, Woodside (May 22); First moths found in bait traps on 
May 15 . Emergence of adults from May IS to 21 very heavy. 
Ohio. T. H. Parks (May 25) s Regular emergence has been occurring' since 
May 17, when first adults were taken in Lawrence County. First, moth at 
Columbus trapped on May 20, but none caught -in the following 5 days, ' 
About' one-half «tf“the^ov^^Mrlnt4§red*\iocoon8 contained pupae on May’lS. 
Indiana. L. F, Steiner (May 9)? Emergence began in the insectary in Vin- 
cennes on May 7. ^iit no, moths have emerged in 4 screen cages located 
in 2 orchards, in which several thousand larvae were placed in the 
fall of 1939* Nino moths wore taken in 4 different orchards from 
approximately 3 OO record traps on Msy S. (May I 6 ); Weather conditions 
since May l4 have permitted very little, flight activity, although it 
is evident that a heavy population is building up. (May 23); Moth 
catches fell off today from the high of May 22, which was 2,420, owing 
to low. temperatures last night and this morning. Estimated that 72 
percent of the surviving larvae in emergence cages had emerged prior 
to today and that peek of activity is very close or has been reached. 
No larvae observed in the orchards, but eggs deposited by moths caged 
over foliage on May I 3 hatched on l.!ay 21. (May 29): Fumigation of 10 
trees on May 28 indicated that a large population is still present, 
at least three-fourths as large as a week ago. Very unfavorable con- 
ditions have prevailed since May 22. - Daily rains and generally low 
temperatures have prevented egg laying. First-brood peak of egg de- 
position may' have occurred last xvock, provided the weather continues 
unfavorable, but the present population can produce more eggs than 
that of a week ago if conditions become favorable in time. First 
wormy apples observed on May 27, although eggs vtere hatching early 
last week. 
Kentucky. W. A. Price (May 25): Emergence 'began at Paducah on May 6, at 
Princeton on May 7. an<i at Lexington on May I 9 . Emergence in western 
Kcntuckj.)- unusually heavy during second week in May. Eggs found at 
Paducah on May 10. 
Illinois. W. P. Flint (May 21); Adults emerging throughout the southern 
two-thirds of the State, Severe 'damage anticipated, owing to low 
winter mortality.
