Missouri. L. Haseman ("arch °A): The number of codling moth larvae going 
into hibernation lest fall was the smallest for inany years and, with 
temperatures rangin ■ from nearly 30° belov in the northern part of the 
State to f rom 10° to 12° or 15° below in Central end southern v 'issouri, 
we have had a considerable ld.ll of those hibernating above the sriov? 
line. He cent exam na.t ions, however", show thrt in central Missouri the 
winter mortality has not been 100' percent ''oy any means, for v e are 
finding considerable numbers of live larvae on the tree trunks above 
the snow line. 
Colorado. G. M. List (March 17): Preliminary examinations at Fort Collins 
indicate about an average winter mortality of codling moth larvae. 
With the large modulation that went into hibernation in most sections of 
the State, there will be a heavy flight of moths if the weather continues 
favorable. 
Utah. C. J. Sorenson ("larch 19): A high percentage of codling moth larvae 
have survived the vinter, judging from rather limited investigations in 
Box Blder County.

New York and Delaware. B. P. Felt (March 24): Mgg masses of the apple 
tent caterpillar are very abundant in many localities, although indica- 
tions are that the outbreak will be less general than that of last 
year. Many egg masses are being collected by Boy Scouts and school 
children in various localities in New York State and New England. ■ 'The 
egg masses appear to be less abundant in eastern Pennsylvania and in 
the vicinity of Tilmington, Del. 
Vermont. H. L. Bailey ("arch 25): Tent caterpillar egc nass'es are 
moderately abundant in the southern part of the State; less so in 
northern sections. 
Connecticut. "?. E. Britton (March 23): 2gg clusters are very abundant in 
some localities on wild cherry and apple throughout the State; in other 
localities they are less prevalent than in 1935.. 
Pennsylvania. H. 2. Hodgkiss ("grch 24): There is a rather general abundance 
of the eggs of the eastern tent caterpillar. 
Arkansas. 7. J. Baerg (March 17): About one- third of the egg masses are 
hatching at Payettevilfte today, the others hatched earlier; hatching 
■orobably began about March 13. Mgg ma.sses are moderately common, but 
not as abundant as they have been in recent years.
