remarkedly free of worms, whereas others have frorr rroderate 
to severe infestations. The last record of third "brood 
emergence was taken on September 5, but larvae were observed

Washington M. A. Yothers (September 21'): The codling moth is more 
abundant and injurious this season than -it has been for sev- 
eral years. 
Washington S. J. Newcomer (September 21): The codling moth is un- 
doubtedly more abundant this season than it has ever be.en. 
This was brought about oy a combination of a mild winter, 
an early spring, and unusually favorable weather for ovi- 
position during May and' June. Moths from overwintering 
larvae emerged early and deposited many eggs, resulting in 
a very heavy second brood and a partial third brood. Almost 
continuous cool, cloudy weather since September 5 has prac- 
tically put a ston to codling moth activity for the season. 
A total of 11,630 moths have been caught in 5 baits during 
the sea-son, as compared with 4,016 moths caught in the same 
number of baits located in- the same trees in 1930. The 
orchard Was given practically the same treatment both 3. r ea.rs, 
being sprayed seven times during the season.
