FRUIT INSECTS 
SAN JOSE SCALE ( Aspidictus perniciosus Const.) 
Georgia. 0. I. Snapp (September l4) : Crawlers are now "beginning to set up 
on peach twigs in numbers at Port Valley. There were very few crawlers 
on peach trees until September. The infestation usually builds up 
rapidly on peach trees in Georgia during this month. 
C. H. Alden (September 24): A light, general infestation noted 
throughout the peach- and apple-growing sections around Cornelia, but 
few heavy infestations found. 
APPLE 
CODLING MOTH ( Carp o caps a pomonella L.) 
Virginia. W. J. Schoene (September 24) : The third-brood codling moth has 
been unusually large this year and has caused considerable injury in 
orchards whore an abbreviated schedule hns been followed. 
Georgia. C. H. Alden (September 24): Moth emergence about over; practically 
none caught in the bo it pots during the past 2 weeks. Larvae in apples 
ore about full fed and those leaving ore spinning up winter cases. The 
insect has been no more abundant this season than usual but appears to 
be worse, because the State has less than one-third of a normal crop 
of apples. 
Ohio. T. H. Porks (September 26): Sixty-three commercial apple orchards, 
located in all parts of the Stote, checked for insect and disease 
blemishes during the latter half of September, showed an average of 6 
percent of the fruits carrying stings or entrances of larvae. The 
orchards ranged from 69 percent worm injury to 0.01 percent. Only a few 
orchards have a serious problem. The percentage of insect- and disease- 
free fruit in these orchards averaged 89.1. Host of the orchards in 
the east side of the State received no spray for the second generation 
of worms. Many in Ottawa and Lawrence Counties received five cover 
sprays . 
Illinois. W. P. Plint (September 24): Codling moths are still hatching and 
entering apples in small numbers. The infestation in southern Illinois 
is one of the heaviest that ever occurred in that region. Many orchards 
in western Illinois are also heavily infested. Apple picking is more 
than half over in all the important orchard sections of the State. The 
situation at present points to a very heavy carry-over of worms next year. 
Minnesota. A. G. Ruggles and assistants (August 29): Codling moth very 
abundant in Preeborn County. 
Missouri. L. Haseman (September 25): In southern Missouri late worms continued 
to enter up to the middle of the month. In central Missouri the last 
moths were taken in the bait traps on September 15. The carry-over of
