CODLING MOTH ( Carpocapsa pomonella L.) 
A. I, Bourne (June 26): Observations in local orchards and 
reports from other sections of the State show the first evi- 
dence of side-\7orm injury from codling moth within the last ten 
days. This is very evidently due to the entrance of late appear- 
ing first "brood larvae, 
N. Y. State Coll. of Agr., Weekly News Letter (June) I Very 
early in the month it was observed in the Hudson. River Valley 
that pupa cases were much more numerous than in recent years. 
By the 9th of the month approximately 10 per cent of the moths 
had emerged. By the middle of the month hatching of eggs was 
well under way in this part of the State and "by the third week 
in the month eggs were hatching in numbers in western New York,

N. J. State Coll. of Agr., Weekly News Letter (June); Records 
from emergence cages indicate that at least 50 per cent of the 
overwintering generation, have emerged as moths in the southern 
two-thirds of the State, By June 9 side worm injury had started 
in southern New Jersey. By the second week in the month side 
worm injury was observed to be much more abundant than usual, a 
large part of the fruit in Glassboro district being heavily in- 
fested. In one orchard in Gloucester County 100 per cent of the 
fruit was injured by first-brood worms, with a high percentage 
of the fruit containing as many as 8 "stings." The side worm 
injury continued throughout the month. (Abstract, J.A.H.) 
.• L. A, Stearns (June 22); The peak of tho entry of first-brood 
larvae occurred June 7-14. This brood at its peak is less abun- 
dant than at the same time in 1930. 
E„ N. Cory (June 22): The codling moth is very abundant. 
W. J. Schoene (June 23): The codling moth is very abundant 
at Winchester and heavy injury is expected. Dr. W. S. Hough 
reports that the insect is expected to cause heavy damage in the 
Winchester section. Eggs are being deposited in large numbers. 
C. H. Brannon (June 13) S Codling moth damage is very light 
in the mountains,, 
C. H. Alden (June 22): The codling moth is very abundant at 
Cornelia. Weather conditions are ideal for multiplication. 
There was a heavy carry over, 
T. H. Parke (June 24): Hatching of the first brood commenced 
the first week of June in Lawrence ■ County. Some worms had left 
the apples and were going under bands June 20. The brood is 
quite heavy in most orchards of southern Ohio and two cover 
sprays were advised for the first brood of worms during June. 
The situation is not alarming in other parts of the State,
