M. H. Swenk (May 13): Trie first moths of the spring 
brood emerged in the insectary at Lincoln on May 3, which 
was 16 days earlier than the first emergence in 1929 and 
20 days earlier than the first emergence in 1928. The 
first moths were collected in bait traps in the orchard 
on May 8, and others have been collected each warm night 
since. The mortality of wintering larvae was very heavy 
during the winter of 1929-30. Gut of 611 larvae in 
cocooning racks in the out-of-doors insectary, 316, or 
nearly 52 per c^iit.died during the winter. About the 
same percentage of winter-killed larvae are found under 
natural conditions in the orchard.

R. L. Parker (M a y 22): The codling moth is moderately 
abundant at Belle Plaine; first eggs April 14; first 
larvae May 9, at least three days old when observed, as 
reported by P. M. Gilmer. 
A. J. Ackerman (May 5): Emergence of spring-brood moths 
at Bentonville began April 20. Approximately 1,300 moths, 
or about 16.5 per cent of the overwintered larvae, emerged 
between April 20 and May 4. In 1929 only about 6 per 
cent had emerged by May 4. Because of the high mortality 
of overwintering worms due to the January (1930) sub-zero 
temperatures, a. large supply of larvae was collected 
in orchards during February, 1930, for supplementary 
material. The emergence of moths from these larvae, 
kept in pupa sticks in the insectary, began the third 
week in March, about one month earlier than the first 
emergence of moths from fall-collected material. 
Claude W a keland (May 22): The codling-moth activity 
began much earlier than in 1929. The first cover spray 
was applied in 1930 earlier than the calyx spray was ap- 
plied in 1929, and the second cover this year will probably 
be aoplicd only a day or two later than calyx spray was 
applied in 1929. 
G.G.Schweis (May 20): The codling moth is moderately 
abundant at Reno. 
G. P. Knowlton (May 19): The codling moth is moderately 
abundant in northern Utah; a few adults are emerging. 
Calif. Spray-Chemical Co., Vol. 2, No. 2, "Ortho News" 
(May 10): The first flight of codling moths took place 
almost simultaneously in several northwest districts. 
The first flight indicated by our bait pots in the Broadway 
district was on the night of April 22. This coincides, 
practically, with moth flight recorded in the lower 
Yakima Valley, at Selah and in the ..'cnatchee districts. 
Since this first flight fluctuating evening temperatures, 
mostly cool, have caused intermittent emergence of 
comparatively few moths. A.R.Y
