ROSY APPL3 APHID ( Anurarhis roseus Baker) 
1*. P. Zappe ( June.1927): These have increased rather fast since 
early spring. More abundant than usual with coccinellids and 
syrphid parasites present. 
WOOLLY APPLE APHID ( Eriosoma lani^erum Hausm. ) 
J. J. Davis (June 24): The coolly apple aphid is very abundant in 
orchards of southern Indiana. This is especially noticeable in 
"breaks and cuts on the branches of small trees where injured ear- 
lier in the season by hail. 
CODLING MOTH ( Carpocacsa uomonella L. ) 
E. W, M'endenhall (June 17): Codling moth adults are emerging in 
large numbers at Columbus. The arsenate of lead spray should be 
put on no"'. 
J. J. Davis (June 2): The codling moth situation is again serious. 
Winter mortality was apparently negligible. Pirst moths ^ere ob- 
served at Bedford I-Iay 2. L. P. Steiner observed the first eggs at 
Bedford May 3, but none hatched until "'lay 21, owing to cool rainy 
weather. B. A. Porter observed first larvae at Vincennes, May 20. 
The freeze destroyed a large percentage of the apicles in south- 
ern Indiana and many orchardists are neglecting their regular sprays, 
It is a question, therefore, whether the scarcity of fruit will ma- 
terially lessen the codling moth menace for the next year. (June 
24): The codling moth situation is serious in southern Indiana. 
Emergence extended over a long period because of cool weather and 
as a result there will be no distinct period between hatching of 
first-brood " , orms and those of the second brood. 
W. P. Plint (June 20): Adults of the overwintering brood of the 
codling moth have practically ceased to emerge in southern and cen- 
tral Illinois. Emergence took place over a long period and compar- 
atively few eggs were laid owing to the cool nights. Up to June 10 
it i?as very difficult to find apples showing entrances. Mr. Chan- 
dler took the first larvae under bands in southern Illinois during 
the week of June 13. Most commercial orchards are very free from 
injury by this insect up to this date. 
A. C. Burrill (June 31): There seems to be little codling moth not- 
ed in this river valley section. 
R. L. Parker (June 20): About 50 per cent mortality over winter in 
the orchard region near Sroy. Better control is expected this year 
since the weather is not so dry and hot. This pest wintered over 
very successfully about Wichita. It emerged with slight mortality. 
At Belle Plaine south of here it is a continuous round of spraying 
to partially control this insect.
