There were some striking differences in ne-r-by orchards. 
In one cose two orchards owned by the same person, sprayed 
with the same crews and rigs, containing the same varieties 
of trees of the same age and sprayed with the same schedule 
showed an infestation of 28 per cent in one case and 4 per cent 
in the other. 
Kentucky 7,'. A. Price (October 23): The codling moth is very abundant. 
We collected 109 larvae from 8 bushels of wind-fall apples 
gathered in the station orchard at Lexington on October 22. 
Michigan R. H. Pettit (October 20): The codling moth is very abundant. 
Minnesota A. G. Buggies ('-ctober 10): The codling moth is very 
abundant in Ramsey and Hennepin Counties. 
Missouri R. M. Jones (October 23): Apple harvest has been completed 
in some orchards and is in full swing in other orchards. The 
codling moth is moderately to very abundant. Late worms were 
more numerous this year than usual. The last egg deposition 
was recorded on October 3 and the last larvae were observed 
entering the fruit on October 15. 
Utah G-. F. Knowlton (October 11): Injury to apples has been 
rather severe during the past se-son in many Cache Valley 
orchards. 
7/ashington M. A. Ycthers (October 6): Infestation is much below that 
of average years. In one district where minimum winter 
temperature of -25° F. occurred, and where spring frosts 
destroyed almost all blooms, obviating the necessity for any 
spraying, the occasional apples still on the trees have been 
entirely free from codling moth infestation. Normally a few 
scattered apples would be very highly infested if left unsprayed. 
Doubtless minimum winter temperatures of -25° F. caused a high 
mortality of overwintering larvae,

M. P. Zappe (October 23): Apple leafhoppers started in spring 
in about the usual numbers and gradually increased during the 
summer. At harvest time adults were very abundant causing 
injury to foliage and staining fruit. Owing to lack of rains 
the stains on fruit have not been washed off, and late 
varieties of fruit show much discoloration of fruit. 
L. M. Peairs (October 20): Leaiho /aers are very abundant 
in Berkeley County.
