Indiana. J. J. Davis (Juhe'"25): The peak of hatching has been passed in \all 
parts of the State. Weather conditions during June have "been less favor- 
able for development than normal. , ■ . s 
Michigan. R. Hutson (June IS): A general flight took place at Shelby on June 11. 
Moth emergence has been rather scattered in other sections of the State. 
Missouri. L. Haseman (June 23) t There have been only a few days difference in 
the dates of moth emergence in the south, central, and northern parts of 
the State. A few scattered moths of the first brood are still being taken 
in the bait pans throughout the southern and central .parts of the State and 
larger numbers, particularly from, the northwestern part. We found- the 
first evidence of first-brood larvae leaving fruit and spinning up under 
the bands in southern Missouri last week. 
H. Baker (June 28): The first moths were caught in bait traps at 
"Saint Joseph on May l6, and peak catches were taken during the period 
May 21 to 29, and catches have been light since June 8. The first attemp- 
ted entrances were observed on May '29 and the first exit of a mature larva 
from fruit was observed on June 17. '-Catches of spring-brood moths were 
heavier by far than at any time since 193^ "but cool, rainy weather during 
the period of peak moth activity held egg Laying and larval activity to a 
minimum. and fow first-brood larvae can be found in orchards. 
Kansas, R, L. Parker (June 26): Moderately abundant in northeastern Kansas. 
• Washington. '. E. J. Newcomer (Juno 19): The spring-brood flight in the Yakima 
Valley reached its peak from May 3° to June. 1, about 10 days later than 
the peak in 193&. Owing to the cool, rainy weather, there has been very 
little activity since that time.
