this locality picked up drops this year on account of the 
light infestation, and they were justified in omitting this 
usual practice. There has been no pupation to date (May 19), 
although the first larvae entered the soil on May 7. The 
continued unseasonably cool weather is retarding development. 
(Kay 25): The first pupation of the season took place today. 
That is just ten days Later than the first pupation last year 
when the pupation was considered unusually late. It is ex- 
tremely doubtful if there will "be a second generation this 
year .
