WOOLLY APHID ( Eriosoma lanigerum Hausm.) 
E. J. Newcomer (August gjl): The woolly aphid is probably 
more numerous than during any season in the last ten or twelve 
years in spite of the great abundance of chrysopids and syrphids. 
CODLINS MOTH ( Carpocapsa pomonella L . ) 
N.Y. State Coll. Agr., Weekly News Letter (August): Rather 
heavy dropping as result of the codling moth is reported 
quite generally from the upper Hudson River Valley and western 
New York. In Oswego County codling moth injury was more 
serious this year than during the past three years. { 
(Abstract, J.A.H.) 
L. A. Stearns (August 4): First second brood larvae spun 
up in the insectary today. (Aug. 24): First and. second brood 
moths emerged at Bridgeville August 21. Infestation is ex- 
tremely variable this year. 
C. R. Willey (August 28): This insect is fairly abundant 
all over the eastern and southern' sections of the State. 
C. H. Aldea (August 22): The codling moth is very abundant 
in Cornelia, the injury being severe in some orchards. Third- 
generation moths are now laying eggs. Broods overlap. 
T. H. Parks (August 24): The codling moth will not very 
seriously injure sprayed apples except in Lawrence County, 
southern Ohio. In that county two extra cover sprays are 
bringing the fruit through with fewer worms than last year 
but with many "stings" on the fruit. 
J. J. Davis (Augast 2l): Codling moth reports were very bad 
at Hobart, August 3. (August 22): The codling moth is moderate- 
ly abundant throughout the State. 
W. P. Flint (August 10): Southern Illinois- There has been 
a big increase in infestation in the Johnson County area in 
the past two weeks, some sprayed orchards now showing 40 to 
50 per cent infestation. There has been a moderate increase 
during the past week both in moth emergence and in bait- jar 
catches. Central Illinois- Collections under bands have 
fluctuated slightly during the past week but on the whole have 
shown about the same level as for the last two weeks. More 
than 3,000 larvae were taken under 120 bands in the Urbana 
area this week. There has been an increase in the numbers of 
pupae found under bands and very heavy emergence of adults is
