Virgin! W«, J ; Schoene (May 28) J The rosy apple aphid is present in 
considerable numbers in orchards in the central ani southern parte 
oi the State, Some injury is being caused. Although the migration 
period has started, the aphids are also spread over the trees. 
The aphids were very difficult to find on the buds at the time 
the dormant spray was applied. Since then the weather has been 
cool and dry, 
CODLING MOTH ( Car up cap sa pomor.ella L. ) 
Massachusetts A* I, Bourne (June 22): The continued cold unfavorable weather 
conditions have very much retarded the seasonal development of 
this species. Cur own observations and those of Mr, Whitcomb in 
Middlesex County show that the emergence of the moths is much 
retarded by this cold weather, which is also retarding to a - - 
extent, ovipositicn, 
North Carolina K„ W.. Leib&i(May 18): The first adult emerged from an over- 
.ntering larva today in the mountains of this State, according to

Indiana 3er.net A, Porter (June 26): Unusually abundant. Infestations will 
run from 10 to 20 per cent in unsprayed or poorly sprayed or - 
!7orms were leaving the fruit at Henderson, Ky # , on June 10 and 
about Jai ie :9 at Vincennes, 
Jo Jo Davis (June 26): The codling moth is very abundant in many 
secticns.it La Fayette, Although late in making its initial 
appearance, it has caught up and the second-brood spray will come 
about the normal time. 
Illinois Wo P a Flint (June 19): The codling moth is much more abundant 
than usual in the well sprayed orchards, but in central and southern 
Illinois some examinations have shown as high as 10 per cent 
infestation by the first brood. The first-brocd worms are just 
leaving the apple in the southern and southwestern parts of the 
State. 
Missouri j.^ Has er.ian (June 25); This pest is again irregular as regards its 
normal life cycle. A large percentage of the moths develop! 
from overwintering worms did not emerge until about the 1st of 
June in central Missouri though scattering numbers emerged much 
earlier„ At this date (June 25) a great many of the first-brood 
larvae are leaving the fruit while many, on the other hand, hav 
scarcely entered the fruit. This will mean an irregular emergence 
of the seqond-krood moths during July and consequently greater 
difficulty in keeping cover sprays on the fruit to protect it.

on June 10 from Louisville, Winston County, *bere they were damaging
