W. ?. Flint (July 21): The second-brcod codling moth was rreatly 
delayed by the cold, .vet weather , of the spring. Adults^ did not 
emerge in the extreme sou-hern part of Illinois until July 12, and 
have just started coming out in '.the Olney-Csntralia fruit districts, 
Clay, Richland, and Marion Counties. The insect is less abundant 
than usual throughout the State. 
A. J. Ackerman (July 17): Frequent rains during the latter part 
of May end in June cashed the spray solutions from the apple at 
the time when the first-brood worms, were hatching in large numbers. 
As a result, the codling moth is unusually abundant in many orchards 
A larger number of "stings" are evident this year than is the usual 
case. Second-brood worms are new entering the fruit. 
E. J. Newcomer (July 7): -This promises to be one of the worst 
codling moth years ever experienced in Washington. Continued warm 
weather during May resulted in more eggs being deposited than usual, 
"an average of over 30 per female being obtained- while in cool sea- 
sons the average is as low as 6. A light crop, due to late frosts, 
makes the situation worse, arc a very early season will allow the 
worms to work longer than usual, and will probably result in a 
larger third brood than normal. The first full- grown worms were 
found leaving the fruit on Jane 9, while the average date for this 
valley is June 21. 
APFLS LEAF- SKELETONIZES (Canarsia hammondf Filey) 
Arkansas 
A. J. Ackerman (July 17): Injury caused by the first-brood larvae 
of the apple leaf-skeletonizer is quite common at this time, es- 
pecially on trees not yet in bearing which often do not receive 
the late summer sprays. This insect caused much damage to young 
trees last season. 
FRUIT-TEES LEAF- ROLLER (Cacoecia argyrospila Walk. ) 
New York 
Utah 
C. R. Crosby and assistants: Reported present in large numbers 
in many orchards in Ontario County, and very severe in Orleans 
County, damaging a large amount of fruit. 
Geo. F. Knowlton (July 15): Fruit-tree leaf-rollers are numerous 
in the moth stage and have been depositing eggs for the last two 
weeks in Cache Va] ley. So far a great number of egg masses have 
been dene sit ad in the infested orchards.

APPLE AMD THORN SKELETONIZES ( HeaeroTfr.ila nariana Clerck) 
A. I. Bourne (July 24): The apple and thorn skeletonizer is grad- 
ually spreading tc all parts of the State. The first cocoons of 
the first generation were noted about June 24 to 27, and early in 
July the moths of the second brood began lo appear. 
W. E. Britton (July 19): Much less abundant than last year at 
New Haven.
