CODLING MOTH (C arpocapsa poroonella L.) 
New York. D. W. Hamilton (April 26): Approximately 50 percent of the 
larvae overwintering in paper bands at Poughkoepsie have pupated, 
whereas only a few of those found while scraping trees at Kinder- 
hook have jmpated. Last year, pupae were noted first on May 11, 
and moths were first captured in "bait straps on May 2U. 
Delaware. E. A. Stearns (April 23): Between 50 and 75 percent of over- 
wintering larvae pupated on this date. Apples in full bloom. 
Georgia. C. H. Alden (April 20) j First moth caught at Cornelia on- April 
11; eight caught on April 18. No egg deposition to date. 
South Carolina. L. 0. Cartwright (April 28): The emergonce of spring 
adults is above average at Clomson. The peak of adult- emergence 
was April LU. 
Indiana. L. P. Steiner (April 25): Moth emergence began in the insect- 
ary at Vincennes on April 2^, and the first moths were taken from 
bait traps on April 25. Development is 2 weeks earlier than normal. 
Hatching is expected to start about May 5« Pupation under rough 
bark had reached only 33 percent by April -23. • ... 
Illinois. W. P. Flint (April 20): Survival very high. . Pupation is 
general in the southern part of the State. No adults have been ob- 
served to date. ... 
Michigan. R. Hut son (April 25): Larvae came through the winter in good 
condition, and are abundant in fruit-growing districts. 
Kentucky. W. A. Price (April 27): Moth emergence began at Padueah on' 
April 15, and by April 19 about 73 percent of the larvae had pupated. 
At Lexington, flight began on April 25 • 
Missouri. L. Hasenan (April 22): Pupation has been under way since the 
middle of the month, with 15 percent of the larvae in the pupal 
stage in our breeding sticks in southwestern Missouri. At Columbia 
some of the breeding-cage material is showing nearly 30 percent pu- 
pation, but examination at Columbia on April 22 showed the over- 
wintering worms on the tree trunks still in the larval stage. 
E. Baker (April 20): The first pupae were observed in the 
field on April 5; at present about one-third of the hibernating 
larvae have pupated. »'■•' 
Kansas. H. P.. Bryson (April 23): Codling moth is reported to be more 
abxindant in northeastern Kansas than for several years. 
Washington. M. A. Yothers (April 5): Winter mortality at Yakima has
