Missouri. L. Haseman (May. 23): Emergence began in southern Missouri May 1, in 
central Missouri May 8, at Columbia May -17 T and in northern counties May 19. 
Hew Mexico. J. R. Eyer (April 21): Codling moths are very abundant* 
Wyoming. C. L. Corkins (May 10): Control measures are applied only occasionally 
in Wyoming. This appears to be one of the years when control is justifiable. 
A good crop last year, followed by an exceedingly hot, dry summer, with a 
rising' infestation of the moths, laid the foundation for trouble this year. 
Idaho. R. W, Haegele (May 22): Beginning of spring emergence of moths occurred 
three weeks later than normal in southwestern Idaho. 
Washington. E. J. Newcomer (May 23): This is the latest season since 1922, as a 
result of almost continuous cool, cloudy weather since April 29. Practically 
no moths have been caught in baits in Yakima Valley. 
Oregon. D. C. Mote (May 9): B. G. Thompson reports development slow; only a few 
have pupated. 
EASTERN TENT CATERPILLAR ( Mai aco soma americana Fab . ) - 
Maine. C. R. Phipps (May 25): The eastern tent caterpillar is very abundant 
throughout the State. Nearly every unsprayed apple and cherry tree in western 
Maine is infested. • 
H. B. Peirson (May 15): The eastern tent caterpillar is very abundant' in 
general over the State. Hatching started April 25 in Augusta. 
New Hampshire. L. C. Glover (May 24): The eastern tent caterpillar is very abun- 
dant, fully as much so as last year. Mr. Conklin reported them last year, and 
thinks they will be about the same this year, 'possibly a little more .abundant. 
Bacterial wilt disease is evident in some of the webs. 
Vermont. H, L. Bailey (May 27): Eastern tent caterpillars are very abundant; 
more plentiful in general about the State than they have been since 1915. 
Massachusetts. A. I. Bourne (May 25): The tent caterpillr.r seems to be present 
in greater abundance than for the last few years. This is particularly true 
of the eastern part of the State. Throughout practically all of that section 
the pest is present in great abundance along roadsides, particularly on the 
wild cherry, and on uncared-for fruit trees. A slight amount of evidence of 
its presence is found in some of the commercial orchards, although .the regular 
system of spraying gives it little chance to make any headway. 
Connecticut. W. E. Britton (May 24): Considerably more. abundant throughout the 
State than it was last year. 
New York. R. D. Glasgow (May 23): The eastern tent caterpillar is unusually 
abundant throughout eastern New York. I have personally observed this insect 
in notable abundance from Long Island north to Elizabethtown, and I have seen 
unsprayed apple trees 15 to 20 years old completely defoliated. 
N. Y. State Coll. of Agr. News Letter (May): In general the tent caterpillars 
are much more abundant than they were last year throughout the State. Their
