CODLING MOTH ( Carpocapsa pomonella L: ) 
Georgia. C. H. Alden (April 21): First codling moth caught in the bait 
traps at Cornelia, northeastern Georgia, on April l6, about the same 
time as in 193&. Caught U2 moths in 12 traps on April 19 . 
Ohio. T. K. Parks (April 2^): Examination of overwintering cocoons indicates 
a high winter survival. Birds have destroyed many, making it difficult 
to collect larvae from tree trunks. 
Indiana. L. F. Steiner (April 20): The first pupation was noted by S. A. 
Summerland on April 6 at Elberfeld (extreme southwestern Indiana). On 
April 20 approximately 25 percent had pupated, as compared to ^0 percent 
on April l6, 193S. At Bicknell (50 miles north of Elberfeld) only U per- 
cent had pupated on April l6. The current population is well above 
normal. Winter mortality was very low and a heavy flight of the spring 
brood is anticipated. 
J. J. Davis (April 26): The codling moth is overwintering in 
greater numbers than usual. G. E. Marshall reports that 3 percent of 
the worms under bands had pupated by April 22 at Orleans. 
Illinois. W. P. Flint (April 19):- Codling moth pupation was general in 
southern Illinois during the week beginning April 19. 
Missouri. L. Haseman (April 27): For the past week codling moths have been 
pupating in the southern part of the State and are expected to begin 
emerging any day here in central and northern Missouri. The last 5 or 
6 cold, rainy days and nights have again slowed down moth development, 
as well as fruit development. 
Kansas. H. R. Bryson (April 22): R. L. Parker reports a normal carry-over 
of codling moth in northeastern Kansas. 
EASTERN TENT CATERPILLAR ( Malacosoma americana F. ) 
New Hampshire. J. G. Conklin (April 23): The eastern tent caterpillar was 
observed hatching in southern New Hampshire on April 19. On April 22 a 
heavy windstorm, accompanied by snow and sleet, occurred and many of the 
newly hatched caterpillars were destroyed. 
Vermont. II. L. Bailey (April 23): First hatching of the eastern tent cater- 
pillar was observed at Brattleboro, in the southern corner of the State, 
on April 23. Egg masses moderately abundant. 
Massachusetts. A. I. Bourne. (April 19-20) ! Eggs were found to be hatching 
by the 19th in some sections. The pest is still very abundant over the 
State.
