FRUIT INSECTS 
COTTON LE.AF WORM (Alabama argil lace a Ebn. ) 
Mississippi. R. W. Earned (July 26): There is an outbreak of cotton leaf worms 
at Agriccla, in George County. This is the first report, we have received 
this year from this State. (This is early enough, for later broods of moths 
to damage fruit in the northern States. J.A.H.) 
APPLE 
CODLING- MOTH ( Carpocapsa u omonella L. ) 
New York. N. Y. State Coll. Agr. News Letter (July): During the first week 
in the month the codling moth become noticeably more abundant in the Hudson 
River Valley, and reports of rather severe damage were quite generally re- 
ceived from the western part of the State. 3y the middle of the month 
larvae were leaving the fruit in the Hudson River Valley. (Abstract J.A.H.) 
Pennsylvania. H. N. Worthley (June 30): Mature larvae of first brood were 
found under bands in Adams County on June 20, just as emergence of over- 
wintered brood moths ended. Evidences of attack, which were scarce during 
the early part of June, became plentiful during the latter part of the month. 
Maryland. E. N. Cory (July 21): Second-brood moths began to emerge on July 
2 at Hancock; egg deposition started on July k; hatching on July 9; an<i 
the peak of emergence occurred on July 10. 
Ohio. T. H. Parks (July IS): Larvae of the first brood were very numerous in 
unprotected fruits over the State. Eorty percent of the apples on an un- 
sprayed tree near Chillicothe were infested on June 20. Extra cover sprays 
have been applied in most orchards. The second generation of moths began 
emerging about 10 days earlier than last year. 
Illinois. W, P. Flint (July IS): The codling moth, on the whole, is more 
abundant than last year. Development is nearly 2 weeks in advance of last 
year and it is probable that as severe ar infestation will develop as in 
1933. 
Kentucky. U7. A. Price (July 2 l _)): The codling moth is very abundant. 
Minnesota. A. C. Hoison (June): Codling moths are scarce in southeastern 
counties-; the mortality during the winter was high. 
Missouri. L. Haseman (July 23): The peak of second-brood moth emergence oc- 
curred between June 23 and July lh, out eggs and worms have been relatively 
scarce. 
Howard Baker (June 15').: The dr5 r weather which persisted in this 
• region ( Saint Joseph) through nearly the entire period of the first brood 
resulted in an infestation of unusual intensity, which will result in the 
loss of a high percentage of the crop, as the development of the insect
