CODLING MOTH ( Carp o cap sa pomonella L.) 
New York. D. W. Hanilton (August): At Poughkeepsie comparatively heavy 
noth captures have 'continued in light and "bait traps since July 26. 
Peak flight of first-brood adults occurred on the nights of August 2 
and 3« Several of the poorly sprayed orchards are from' 20 to 50 
percent injured. 
Ohio. T. H. Parks (August): Heaviest second-brood "bait-pan catch was made 
"between July 15 and 22. Another peak occurred on August 1. New lar- 
val entrances v/ere appearing in such numbers as to justify a special 
spray during the second week of August in a few northern orchards. 
T/hile the codling noth has made a remarkable come-back during the dry 
season, the situation is not serious except where spraying for the 
second "brood was omitted. 
Indiana. L. F. Steiner (August 25): Activity of second-brood adults at 
Bicknell apparently reached its peak on August 19 when the catch in 
318 traps amounted to U,025 moths, as compared to the spring-brood peak 
of 700 moths on May 17, and the first-brood peak of 1,776 on July 11. 
At Vincennes in 20 traps the spring-brood peak of 158 moths occurred 
on May 17, the first-brood peak of 320 on July 6, and the second-brood 
peak of 209 on August 19. 
Illinois. W. P. Flint (August 20): Third-brood oodling moth is very 
general in southern Illinois. The infestation on the average is fully 
as heavy as in 193^» I n many cases the crop will be infested almost 
100 percent. 
Kentucky. M. L. Didlake (August 2U): Codling moths are still numerous at 
Lexington, second generation of adults flying. 
Missouri. H. Baker (August 2o): Damage from second- and third-brood worms 
has been held to a minimum, owing to the extreme heat and drought, 
therefore damage has been light except in poorly sprayed or unsprayed 
orchards. Bait-trap catches indicated that second-brood moths appeared 
about August 10. 
Tennessee. G. M. Bentley (August 19): There has been an unusually heavy 
infestation of the second brood on apples generally over the State. 
Commercial orchardists report that difficulty has been experienced in 
controlling the second brood with the regular spray. 
Montana. A. L. Strand (August): Codling moth is present in greatly reduced 
numbers in Bitter Root Valley : and Flathead Lake districts. 
Washington. E. J. Newcomer (August 20):' Emergence of first-brood moths at 
Yakima has progressed in much the same manner as in 1935« A high point 
tas reached ^n' Au~uot 17 » but tho maximum may come later.
