the average date for the period 1936-40, 
Pennsylvania. H. M. Steiner (May 24): First emergence of adults in -A-dans 
County, in the southern part of the State, occurred in cages on May 5» 
First noths captured in "bait pails on May 7® Large- catches in bait 
pails on May 19 and 20. First entrances in apple observed on May 22. 
Delaware. L. A. Stearns (May 24): Twenty**five percent of overwintered 
larvae had pupated by April IS; 6l percent by May 1; 87 percent by 
May 8; and 91 percent by May 20. First emergence of spring-brood 
adults occurred on April 29; peak of activity, as indicated by bait 
pans, occurred from May 13 to 19* 
Maryland. C. Graham (May 24): Emergence in orchards began on May 6 at 
Frederick;- on May 7 at Hancock, in the northwestern part of the State; 
and on May 8 at Easton in Talbott County. 
Virginia. A. M. Woodside (May 22): Flight of noths has apparently passed 
its peak in Albemarle County. Larvae began entering apples about 
May lb. Peak of flight probably not yet reached in Augusta County, 
where larvae are entering fruit .in small numbers. Emergence in most 
orchards somewhat lighter than last season. 
Georgia. W. E. Clarke (May l): First adults caught in bait pots at 
Cornelia, in the northwestern part' of. the State, on April 28; con- 
siderable number taken from bait pots today. 
Ohio. T. H. Parks (May 23): First adults caught in bait traps in southern 
Ohio on May 5» many moths being in flight, between May l4 and 22. Emer- 
gence in centra, 1 Ohio not extensive until May l4, heavy egg-laying be- 
ing in progress now. Adults began to emerge on May 19 at the western 
end of Lake Eric and are now appearing around Cleveland. 
Indiana. L. F. Steiner (May l): Emergence of adults (.2 males) began in 
a cage at Elberfeld, Warrick County, in the southwestern part of the 
Sta.te, on April 29, and 1 moth emerged at Vincennes on April 30 in 
1 of 4 cages. One moth caught in bait trap at Vincennes on April 30. 
(May 15): A total of 3,Ugl noths caught in 2b8 traps in the Vincennes 
area from May 8 to l4, inclusive. A total of 1,175 moths emerged in 
4 cages. Activity and moth abundance are now approaching major peaks 
in this area,. (May 22): Hot, dry weather has speeded up larval 
hatch, and wormy apples can be found in considerable numbers in 
the best-treated orchards. Owing to the dryness, the apples are 
smaller in relation to the stage of codling noth development than 
has been the ca.se in any of the last- 7 years. Bait traps indicate 
that noth activity is now at or near its peak. 
Illinois. S. C. Chandler (May 19): First lar-val entrances in apples at 
Carbondale, Jackson Countv, in the southern part of the State, on May 
15.
