CODLING- MOTH ( Carpaoapsa pononella L.) 
Now York. D. W. Hamilton (June 22): At Poughkeepsie peak noth captures in 
light and "bait traps occurred on the nights of June 1 and 2. Since then 
activity seens to have gradually tapered off. First-brood larvae "began 
entering the' fruit on June 6. Peak entrances occurred from June 10 to 
lk. At present the infestation appears to he' about normal. Low tem- 
peratures and rains have prevented extensive adult activity on many 
nights. 
New Jersey. T. J. Headlce (June 2U) j Emergence this year began 10 days 
earlier than last year. The prospects now are for a full second brood 
and a partial third in southern New Jersey. 
Delaware. L. A. Stearns (June 23) i First-brood injury at this date is lighte 
than at any time since 1929. First-hatched larvae are already mature. 
Pennsylvania. H. E. Hodgkiss (June 23) ! First-brood larvae were first seen 
going into apples in Cumberland and Franklin Counties on June 18 and 19* 
The entries had been made since June 11. 
Maryland. E. N. Cory (June 25): Emergence in Washington County was consider- 
ably delayed on account of cool weather. 
Ohio. T. H. Parks (June): Moths have been caught in the bait pans at 
Columbus almost daily from May l6 to June 21. Heaviest flight occurred 
between May 30 and June 5* First entrances were noticed on June 9t the 
same date on which entrances were noticed in Ottawa County. 
Indiana. J. J. Davis (June 22): Codling moth is noticeably increasing in the 
southern half of the State. Unfavorable conditions during the season of 
1935 a nd the past two winters reduced the insect to almost negligible 
numbers. However, conditions for the first 193^ brood have been favorabl 
and the population has built up to threatening numbers. For record we 
are summarizing life-history records, those at Bicknoll, Elberfeld , and 
Vincennes, by L. F. Steiner, and those at Orleans by G. E. Marshall. 
First pupae were found at Elberfeld on April 10; at Bicknell on April 13. 
First moth at Elberfeld on April 30; in traps at Bicknell on May U; 
at Orleans in out-of-door emergence cage on May U, in packing shed on 
May 5, and in bait trap on May 7 (last year, first moth bait trap on 
May 8). First eggs laid in insectary at Vincennes, under normal out- 
of-door conditions on May 7, began hatching on May lU, At Orleans the 
first eggs hatched on May 21. First larval entries at Vincennes were 
observed on May 19. First larvae loft apple to pupate at Orleans on June 
8 and at Bicknell on June 10. 
L. F. Steiner (June 11); Practically no moth activity either at 
Vincennes or Bicknell for the past 10 days. Mature larvae began leaving 
apples at Bicknell on June. 10.- In most orchards where the codling moth
