W. A. Price-' (May) : The codling moth is moderately abundant. 
Dr. Eddy reports first codling moth emergence at Pa&ucah on 
May 4. 
R. H. Pettit (May 25): The codling is moderately abundant. 
' It is still in the larval stage, not having pupated yet. 
L. Haseman (May 23): Reports for the entire State show 
that the earliest emergence occurred in the southern part of 
the State.on£May-'23d;V Moths were emerging in cages from all 
parts of the State except the north-central and- northeastern 
parts. With warm weather we expect the peak of first-brood 
moths at Columbia by June 1. Emergence of the moths was 
delayed by the recent cool spell but moths are now emerging 
rapidly. 
R. M. Jones (May 20): The first spring-brood moths emerged 
on May 4 and egg deposition was recorded on May 17. 
Claude Wakeland (May 19): The codling moth began emergence 
the first week of May at Parma and Lewiston. 
E. J. Newcomer (May 22): The first moths appeared in Yakima 
County April 27 as compared with April 30 in 1930. By the 
time of the first cover spray (May 18) about twice as many 
moths had appeared in baits as at that time last year, when, 
the sane number of baits were used in the same location. 
This was due to very warm weather from May 11 to 14. 
Monthly News Letter, Los Angeles County Agricultural 
Commissioner (April 15): The peak of moth emergence this 
spring in the Antelope Valley was reached April 10, which was 
three weeks early. Therefore, the eggs laid by. the moth will 
be hatching about April 20. 
A TENT CATERPILLAR ( Mai aco soma sp.) 
Oregon Agricultural College & Experiment Station. Oregon 
Insect Pest Report: There is an unusually heavy infestation 
in the vicinity of Corvallis. Wild rose bushes and alders 
west of Corvallis are heavily infested. More than 50 tents 
have been observed in one apple tree. 
EASTERN TENT CATERPILLAR ( Malacosoma anericana Fab.) 
C. W. Collins (May 29): The eastern tent caterpillar was 
observed generally common but abundant locally especially in 
vicinity of York, Falmouth, Brunswick, and Bath, Maine. In 
eastern Massachusetts this species is common generally, but is 
found r.bundant in some localities, mostly on wild black cherry.
