CODLING; MOTH ( Cansocapsa oomonella L. ) 
-J. J. Davis (February 24): The sudden severe cold spell 
in January produced high "'inter mortality of many insects. 
The codling moth had a very high mortality, in some places 
100 per cent, where exposed above ground. 
'.;. P. Flint (February 22): Codling moth larvae, carried 
in a screened insectary inside a tight wooden container in 
the insectary and in turn protected by glass containers and 
by corrugated paper in which the cocoons were spun, sho~ed 
50 per cent mortality. In western Illinois Mr. J. Ii. 3igger 
reports 81 per cent mortality in codling moth larvae in cages 
on the trunks of trees. Larvae under bands seem to have 
suffered less.
