South Carolina. W. C. Nettles (May 27): Codling moth below normal in com- 
mercial orchards. 
Ohio. T. H. Parks (May 25): From a cage of over 1,000 overwintering larvae 
at Columbus , only 2 moths have emerged. These emerged on May 22. Emer- 
gence is fully 10 days "behind that of 193^* - ae cool weather has held 
"back the moth and the first "brood of larvae will probably "be bunched and 
more easilv controlled with well-timed sprays. Emergence in Lawrence Coun- 
ty, southern Ohio, began on May 8 but has been progressing very slowly. 
Many are now in the pupal stage and will emerge as soon as warm weather 
arrives. Nights have been too cool for moth activity in southern coun- 
ties. 
Indiana. J. J. Davis (May 25): Reports from Vincennes and Orleans indicate 
that pupation was not uncommon on April 11, in fact newly formed pupae 
were observed as early as March 27 at Elberfeld (between Vincennes and 
Evansville). At Vincennes the first moths were captured in the orchard 
on May g (h days later than in 133*0 • *Jo eggs hatched at Orleans up to 
May 23. Apparently hatching of the first-brood worms will be rather 
drawn out . 
G. W. Hamilton (May 20): At Orleans the first adults were captured 
in bait traps during the night of May 8, and in light traps during the 
night of May 9* Since then daily captures in both light and bait traps 
gradually increased through the night of May 13. Since May 13 weather 
conditions have been very unfavorable for moth activity. 
L. F. Steiner (May): Bait trans began capturing moths at Eicknell 
and in 2 orchards at Vincennes on the night of May 8. Emergence began 
in packing sheds at Bicknell and Elberfeld, also on May g. The first 
pupal skins were observed in the orchard on May 9> the last previous 
search for them having been made on May J. If any emergence occurred 
before May 8, rain and low temperatures would have prevented ovinosition. 
Fir3t-brood larvae are expected to bega.in hatching in this area on May 
lg, if the weather is normal. 
Illinois. 17. P. Flint (May 20): Codling moth adults began emerging in 
southern Illinois about May 1. Quite a heavy emergence occurred from 
May 10 to 15. 
Missouri. L. Haseman (May 22): Emergence of the codling moth began the 
last part of April in the southeastern part of the State, from May 1 to 3 
in the southwestern part, and from May 8 to 11 in the central Part. Up 
to May 20 none had emerged in the northern part. Cool, rainy weather 
has slowed down emergence and development, so no worms hove yet been ob- 
served entering fruit. 
Colorado. G. M. List (May 23): The winter mortality of codling moths was 
low. Moth emergence began in Mesa County on May 18. No moths have yet 
emerged in Delta County. The spring is backward ; a contrast to that of 
last year.
