CODLING MOTH ( Carpocapsa pomonella L.) 
L. A. Stearns (April 2l): The first pupation of over- 
wintered larvae was on April 21. 
C. H. Alden (April 18): The codling moth was reported 
at Cornelia. 125 moths were caught in 15 "bait traps on 
April 19. No egg deposition has "been observed to : date. 
T. H. Parks (April 27): Codling moth is moderately 
abundant in most orchards with a few orchards having very 
heavy infestations. Collections of overwintering larvae 
showed that less than 2 per cent of the worms had pupated 
April 15. Packing houses contain fewer larvae than last 
spring. 
J. J. Davis (April 26): The codling moth has wintered 
over in rather large numbers; and we can anticipate an 
abundance of apple worms this season. At Bedford 3 per 
cent had pupated April 23 while 9 per cent had pupated at 
Lafayette. 
L. Haseman (April 25): The first codling moths were seen 
in southeastern Missouri April 19. About 20 per cent of 
the larvae pupated at Columbia April 19; about 10 per cent 
pupated at Aurora in southwest Missouri April 20. The 
situation is threatening. 
D. 3. Ihelan (March 20 to April 20): Overwintered larvae 
first pupated on April 18. 
G. F. Knowlton (April 18): Codling moth survival is 
rather low in the Logan area, as indicated by counts made 
up to date. It is still in cocoons in northern Utah. 
J. R, Eyer (April 20): Adults commenced emerging April 
1 at State College. It was abundant at bait pans the week 
•f April 10. 
E. J. Newcomer (March 30): Examination of 5,692 larvae 
collected during March from burlap bands that -ere above the 
snow line during the winter showed only 39 dead, or 0.7 per 
cent. Minimum temperature during the winter was -3° F., 
and there were practically no large fluctuations in tempera- 
ture. Pupation was just beginning March 25. Since infesta- 
tion was greater last fall than it has ever been, there -"ill 
be a big infestation this year unless unfavorable weather 
during May and June prevents normal oviposition. (April 22): 
Of 500 larvae examined, 23 per cent had pupated.
