as many as nine times, J>0 to 40 per cent of the fruit was 
infested. 
i 
"Wisconsin S. B* Fracker (August 15) J .Apparently less troublesome than usual, 
hut infestation has "been running as high as 20 per cent in 
Winnebago, and in Manitowoc 35 P er cent. 
Missouri L* Haseraan (August 27): The second brood of the codling moth 
began to emerge at about its normal time, namely, July 7 to 
15 far central Missouri but the brood continued to emerge until 
early August. 
Second-brood side worms a,re unusually abundant therefore 
where only one July spray was applied early. The prolonged emergenc 
has made it difficult for Missouri &pple growers to control the 
pest this year. 
APPLE AND THORN SKELETONIZER ( Hemeroohila oariana Clerck) 
Massachusetts A, I. Bourne (August 19): Within the last few days we have begun 
to note full-grown larvae in scattering numbers here and there 
in .this vicinity (Amherst). The scarcity of this insect this 
season may be accounted for by the feet that fruit growers have 
been giving more attention to their spraying and have been spraying 
later in the season than has been their custom up to this time. The 
first of the second -brood moths were observed flying August 19. 
FALL WEBWORM ( Erphantria cunea Drury) 
Massachusetts A. I. Bourne (August 19) 1 The fall web worm has been for the last 
two weeks making itself apparent. As near as we could determine 
from our observations, the pest is- present in about normal abun- 
dance. There has been a very wide range in the development of 
the ]&rvae. It has been possible to find, in a comparatively small 
area, larvae which were two-thirds or more grown, and also, on 
almost adjoining trees, others which had emerged within a week. 
Connecticut J. L. Rogers (August 2U) : Many more tents wert> observed in nurseries 
this month than usual in Fairfield and Hartford Counties. There 
has been a slight increase over last year. 
FRUIT TREE LEAF HOILER (Arch ins a rgyrospila Walk.) 
Missouri L. Baseman (August 27): The apple trees in the nursery row and 
young trees in the orchard have been quite severely attacked 
by the leaf roller though the epidemics have not baen so severe 
in central Missouri this year as they were last year. 
YELLOW-NECKED CATERPILLAR (Sa tana ministra Drury) 
Indiana C, R. Cleveland (August 24): ' Report from Indianapolis as 
completely defoliating a considerable number of trees in a t^o- 
year-old orchard.
