J* J* Davis (June 24): The codling moth infestations are the 
most threatening for many jtears* At 3edford the first pupa was •; 
found by Mr. Marshall June 18. At Lafayette the first moths 
emerged June 2, 
W. P. Flint (June 20): Emergence of adults from pupae of the 
overwintering larvae has nearly ceased in the southern and cen- 
tral parts of the State, There was a very heavy hatch of worms 
the first part of June and a heavier infestation than usual 
throughout southern and central Illinois.. In many well sprayed 
orchards it is now very easy to find wormy fruit.- If the season 
continues warm it will "be one of the worst codling moth years we 
have ever experienced. First larvae were taken under "bands in 
southern Illinois June 17; in central Illinois, June 18. ••:-•/ 
J, K. Bigger (June 15): The codling moth is very abundant in 
Calhoun County. Still emerging from hibernation June 12. 
¥. A. Price (June 25): Codling moth is very abundant in 
western Kentucky. 
A. 0. Puggles and assistants (June): The codling moth is re- 
ported as very abundant from a large number of localities from 
the southeastern part of the State, (Abstract, J.A.H, ) 
M. H. Sweak (May 15 to June 15): This spring the first over- 
wintered larva of the codling moth pupated on April 14, This 
was one day earlier than the first pupation in 1930, 12 days 
earlier than the first pupation in 1929, and 26 days earlier 
than the first pupation in 1928. This early pupation would 
probably have led to an early emergence of moths of the spring 
brood if it had not been for the low temperatures prevailing 
during May. As it developed, the first spring-brood moth 
emerged this spring on May 22, 14 days later than the emergence 
of the first moth in 1930, 3 days later than in 1929, but one 
day earlier than in 1928. Pupation of the" overwintered larvae 
steadily increased from April 14 on, and on Jane 15 about 85 
per cent of these larvae had pupated. Emergence of the moths 
increased from M ay 22 on, and on June 15 nearly 70 per cent 
of the moths had emerged. Egg- -laying began on May 26. On 
May 29, 82 eggs; by June 1, 270; by Juno 4, 426; and by June 15 r 
over 1,800 had been laid V by 193 moths. On June 14, 214 eggs 
were laid, this probably representing the 'crest of egg-laying. 
First "red-ring" stage eggs occurred on May 29, first "black- 
spot" eggs on June l,.and the first larvae hatched on June 2; 
by June 4, 16 had hatched and on June 15 they were hatching 
in very large numbers, 
P. M. Gilmer (June 27): The first brood" is just beyond the 
peak of entrance at Wichita. Infestation is heavier than any 
time in the last six years at this date. Some poorly sjjrayed 
orchards already show 60 to 70 per cent of the fruit infested, 
T7ith normal conditions for the rest of the season the third 
brood should be by far the heaviest in the history of the valley,
