The beetles continue to increase in bhe older infested territory 
and during the season just passed- we have found as high as 1.500 
larvae to a square yard in certain localities. As a result, d urine; 
the past summer the area of heavy infestation was considerably larger 
ar.d more damage occurred to both peaches and apples, except where the 
were thoroughly sprayed, than has occurred heretofore. 
APPLE 
APPLE CURCULIO (Tac hypterelius quadrigibbu s Say)' 
Wisconsin S. B. Fracker (September): Fall flight of this insect associated 
with My z u s persica e occurred in Dane County. 
APPLE FLEA WEEVIL ( Orchgstes pallicornis Say) 
Illinois VI. P. Flint (Octooer 20 ) : This insect was found by Mr."S. C. 
Chandler to be less abundant in southern Illinois than for several 
years, but it has been increasing in western Illinois ar.d is now 
causing injury in a number of orcnards in that part of the State. 
GREEN BUD MOTH ( Argyroploce varies. ana Hon.) ? 
Canada Canadian Insect Pest Review (Septem'Der): The green bud roth has 
been abundant to an unusual degree in the Annapolis Valley, having 
been especially numerous in the vicinity 01 Wolfvilie ar.d Kentville. 
This is the most pronounced outbreak in ten years. 
A FLOWER BEETLE ( Euphoria s epulchrali s Fab.) 
Kansas J. W. McColioch (October 17): These beetles are still common on 
apples in this vicinity. Injury has also been noted on pears and 
pumpkins. In practically all cases the injury is secondary, the 
fruit having oeen braised by a hailstorm over a month ago* 
CODLING MOTH ( Caroocapsa rorronella L.) 
Washington E. J. Newcomer (September ks3): Second- brood moths emerged in con- 
siderable numbers during the last half of August and the iirst tfeek 
of September. Growers report large numbers of worms entering the 
fruit during this period. Pupation occurred as la + e as September 1, 
which is aoout two weeks later than usual. 
A. L. Icelander (September 30): I recently drove through this dis- 
trict (Okanogan Valley) and noticed that worm conditions were un- 
usually severe. Last year a frost at., blossoming time destroyed 
virtually all but the topmost blossoms. In some of the orchards 
it seemed strange to see the only crop cf .apples perched on the top 
of the trees. Naturally these apples were out cf reach of effect- 
ive spraying and thus became wormy.
