CODLING MOTH ( .Caroocaosa nomonella L. ) 
L. A. Stearns (March 21): Mo pupation of overwintered 
larvae has been observed to date. 
J. H. Bigger (March 25): Moderately abundant. There was 
approximately 60 per cent winter mortality in some orchards 
in western Illinois. 
L, Haseman (March 25): Codling moth mortality in the 
State is variable but very high where temperature dropped 
below -15° to -30° in exposed places. 
M. H. Swenk (March 19): The codling moth is moderately 
abundant in southeastern Nebraska.. 
C. '.Vakeland (February 28): There has been heavy mortality 
of the codling moth above snow line in southern and south- 
western Idaho where January minimums ranged from -23° to 
-33° F.

G. G. Schweis '(March 19): The codling moth is moderately 
abundant at Reno. 
G. F. Knowlton (March 15): A count of the codling moth 
larvae overwintering on trees at Logan showed a mortality 
on individual trees ranging from 30 to 90 per cent. The 
average of the total count showed that only 40 per cent 
of the hibernating larvae had. survived the winter. (March 20): 
An eximi nation of the- codling, moth in orchards showed a 
mortality of 53 per cent at Ogden and of 50 per cent at 
Clearfield, of the overwintering larvae. 
J. R. Eyer (March): Codling moth larvae very abundant. 
About 2 per cent have pupated. 
E. J. Newcomer (March 21): Codling moth larvae in corru- 
gated paper in an open insectary show mortality of 40 per cent. 
Temperatures were below zero for eight successive mornings, 
the lowest being -16° F. In orchards within a few miles of 
the insectary the mortality is only about 5 per cent, many 
of the larvae doubtless having been protected by snow. 
EASTERN TENT 'CATERPILLAR ( Malacosoma americans Fab.) 
A. I. Bourne (March 24): The egg masses of the eastern 
tent caterpillar apparently- are considerably less numerous 
•than last year. This decline in numbers appears to be quite 
general throughout the State. 
P. J. Chapman (March 25): Eastern tent caterpillars are 
moderately abundant.. Tents are just being started.
