about 70° F. , about the first week o^ Ar>ril. Eggs fro- 1 : these moths 
hatched and first-st^ge and second-stage larvae were c- ising charac- 
teristic perforations in leaves of corn and cane "by the third week of 
Aoril. The most advanced larval stage that covld he found in * 
southern part of the cane "belt uo to Aoril 2U was tne fourth, most of 
the larvae in corn then teing in the second and third stages, while 
those in cane were in the first and second st-ges. Mortality anion 
voung larvae has been very high in cane, especially throughout Anril. 
Arn?rentlv the numbers developing in the first generation will be 
less than usual. Trlchor r amma mi mi turn Hiley has not been taken in 
cane borer eggs this season, but has been bred fror eggs of Heliothis 
obsoleta Fab. The first narasitized egg was collected on Aoril ! ^ at 
Baton Kouge, and fro^ it three uarasites emerged on A'oril 15. Another 
egg, collected on Ao^il 12, oroduced three parasites on Auril 23.

CODLING MOTH (Caroo causa pomonella L. ) 
Delaware. L. A. Stearns (Aoril): Four uercent of overwintered larvae 
uupated on Aoril 20; 22 uercent mortality for cage material. 
Georgia. C. H. Alden (April 20): Adults were emerging in lar^e numbers 
from insectsry bands on Aoril 19 and were also being caught from bait 
traps in orchards. The first adult was caught on Auril 1 at Cornelia. 
Ohio. T. H. Parks (Auril 2''): Larvae are ver^- abundant under loose bark 
of tree trunks in the worst infested orchards. Few have been killed 
by birds this winter. Puoation has started., and we look for a her 7-- 
emergence from overwintered larvae. 
Illinois. W. P. Flint (Aoril 23): The codling moth has ouoat ed generally 
throughout the southern oart of the State. No emergence is expected 
before about the first of May. 
Minnesota. A. G. Ruggles (Auril 22): Many codling moth larvae kille
