taking place at the -present time (Aug. 8). (Week ending 
August 15): Southern Illinois'- Mr. Chandler reports a heavy 
emergence of moths beginning about August 4 and a heavy catch 
of moths in his bait jars. Central Illinois- There has been 
an increase in emergence in central Illinois during the last 
several days but a decided drop in the numbers of larval 
taken.. under barxls. The number taken xmder 120 bands this week 
was more than 1,000 lens .than the number taken under the same 
number of bands last week. It seems likely that the cool 
weather just passed will stop pupation, as usually happens 
•when a cool period of this sort occurs at this time of the 
..year. 
R. Hut son (August 24): The codling moth is very abundant. 
E. L. Chambers (August 24): The codling -moth is moderately 
abundant. This insect is very abundant where spraying is not 
done, .

L. Kaseman (July and August): A peak of second-brood moths 
occurred between July 10 and 15 and on July 25 evidence of the 
second peak was showing up. The pest is very serious again 
this' summer. Moths of the third generation were emerging in 
central Missouri and some of their worms beginning to enter 
fruit on August 25. 
M. H. Swenk (July 15 - Aug. l): The codling moth of the 
first brood started emerging July 4, reached the crest of 
emergence on July 15, and they are now largely out. Egg ■ 
laying began on July 13,. and the first-brood larvae hatched 
on July 16, which is 4 days earlier than in 1930, 6 days 
earlier than in 1929, and 11 days earlier than in 1928. 
G. G-. Schweis (August 21 ): ■ The unsprayed apples are all 
wormy in the western part of the State. 
Ortho News, Vol. 3, No. 8 (August 20): The first-brood 
moth flight this year showed two fairly distinct peak periods, 
the first coming about the middle of May and the second during 
the last week of that month. The second-brood flight has 
shown a series of "peaks," the two heaviest and most sustained 
coming during the last week in July and about the middle of 
August, respectively. There have been in addition several in- 
termittent high catches, together with moderately good catches 
throughout the entire second-brood period, from about the 
.1st of July up to the present time. 
In general the second/.:. rood has far exceeded expectation, 
being the heaviest flight in many years, making even the 
season of 1929 look ordinary by comparison. It remains to be 
seen just what the third brood will produce.
