CODLING MOTH ( Carpocap sa pomonella L.) 
Maine. C. 0. Dirks (September 5): Injury is more noticeable than usual through- 
out the State. 
New York. P. J. Parrott (September 21): The codling moth is very abundant. 
Pennsylvania. H. N. Worthier (September 26): The codling moth is very abundant 
in Adams County. Late attack has been severe. A heavy flight of moths in 
the last week of August has resulted in -i large increase in damage during 
September, with the prospect of a large.- hibernating population than that of 
last winter. 
Maryland. 3. N. Cory (September 25): The codling moth is very abundant. 
West Virginia. L. M. Peairs (September 21)- The codling moth is very abundant in 
northern West Virginia. 
Virginia. W. J. Schoene (September 23): Injury has been extremely variable. In 
some orchards the fruit is practicall," clean, whereas in other orchards the 
loss is very heavy. Generally speaking', injury is greater this year than in 
previous years. 
Indiana. J. J. Davis (September 22): The codling moth is very abundant, 
especially in the southern half of the St-.te. 
Illinois. W. P. Plint (September 19): Damage continued serious up to the middle 
of September. A few moths are still being caught in bait pails at Urbana. As 
many as 1,200 worms have been taken from a single band on an apple tree. The 
band had been turnea 10 days previous and all larvae removed. 
Michigan. R. Hutson (September 19): The codling moth is moderately abundant. 
Wisconsin. C. L. Fluke (September 23): The' codling moth is moderately abundant. 
More abundant than last year, particularly the second brood. 
Minnesota. A. G. Buggies (September 21): The codling moth is very abundant. 
Mississippi. C. Lyle (September 23): Appl fruits showing injury were received 
from Philadelphia in Neshoba County on '. rpteraber 1. 
Kansas. K. E. Sryson (September 23): A visit to Doniphan County by Prof. Geo. A. 
Dean and Dr. S. L. Parker September 25 revealed the fact that the codling moth 
is worse in that district than it has b m for 4 or 5 years. This condition 
is primarily due to the exceedingly hot, dry weather which that region 
experienced during June, July, and Augusb. The codling -moth infestation is 
somewhat less in the Arkansas River Valley this year owing to the practice 
of more efficient control work. Owing to injury caused by the new generation 
of apple curculio adult s ( TachyptereLlus quadrigi'rbus Say), it has been 
impossible to control the codling moth by means of 'spray in northeastern Kansas 
during late summer.
