Indiana E - A. Porter (June 20)! First-brood larvae began leaving the 
fruit June 9. During the period when the greatest numbers of 
moths were active the weather 'was very hot and dry, suggesting 
that we are likely to have a severe infestation of the codling 
moth this season. Observations in the orchards thus far have 
indicated the same thing. 
Illinois V.'. P. Flint (June 18): Second-brood codling moth will start 
emerging in southern Illinois about July 1. Present indica- 
tions are that there will be a rather heavy second generation. 
Miss curi L. Haseman (June 25): The codling moth in central Missouri ar- 
rived about on schedule time in spies of the fact that the season 
brought out the apple blossoms ten days to two weeks earlier than 
usual. The larvae of the first generation are now maturing and 
leaving the apples end we shall probably have the adults of the 
second generation emerging about on schedule time for central 
Missouri, namely, between the seventh and fifteenth of July. 
Arkansas A. J. Ackerman (June 1): A few wormy apples have been found in 
most orchards at Bentonville by June 1. The first brood batched 
in large numbers earlier than usual, 30 per cert first- brood moths 
had appeared by May 1, and the earliest worms in fruit were found 
April 30. Some worms were leaving the fruit the last of May, and 
pupae were noted June 1. Some second-brood worms may be expected 
as early as June 20, about two weeks sooner than normal. Three 
cover sprays for the first brood have held the insect in check to 
date. 
Oregon B. G. Thompson (May 20): Adults emerging, about 10 per cent emer- 
ged to date. Apparently too cool for egg deposition. 
ERMINE MOTH (Hyponom enta malin ellus Zell. J 
New York P. M. Eastman (June 16): Inspection of about 3,000 apple seed- 
lings imported from Fiance last winter was made today and 24 ermine 
moth nests found., 'Che larvae were very much alive, and could have 
caused considerable damage if not found in time. 
FPUIT TKSE LEAF POLLER f Caco ecia argyros pila Walk.) 
Mew York C. R. Crosby and assistants: In Onondaga County, on May 23, injury 
from tfcia p st was yuiU slight. B;\ May 30 in Orleans County the 
pest wan much more abundant, bei ng found in considerable numbers 
where they have not caused any material damage before, and by 
June 6 they were numerous in one section of Genesee County. 
Michigan R. H. Pettit (June 16): The fruit tree leaf' roller is gaining 
ground rather rapidly in Michigan. 
Montana J. R. Parker (May 20): The fruit tree leaf roller continues to 
be a serious pest in the Bitter Root Valley. Severe winter con- 
ditions which killed many varieties of apple and injured native 
pines failed to injure eggs of the leaf roller and there is a 
no rmal hat ch .
