V;. P. Flint (September 13): There -is report of a heavy- 
flight of the cotton leaf caterpillar in southern Illinois 
on the night of September 15. 
R. H. Pettit (September 25): On the 24th of September a 
specimen of the, Alabama moth was sent in from Kalamazoo. 
This is evidently the first record for Michigan in 1930. 
L. Haseman (September 24): During August and September 
cotton fields in the cotton-growing counties of southeastern 
Missouri were serious damaged by the cotton leaf worm. On 
September 14 moths were taken in considerable numbers for 
the first time this year at Columbia in codling-moth bait 
pans . 
" CODLING MOTH ( Carpocapsa porno nella L. ) 
A. I. 3ourne (September 23): The codling moth is 
moderately to very abundant. There are a considerable 
number of late-season stings. The second brood this year 
was larger than normal. 
C. H. Brannon (September 3): Damage to apples in the 
mountains is exceptionally light this season. 
T. H. Pirks (September 27): This insect is much more 
serious than usual in our State. Lawrence County has suffered 
most and in this county a third brood of codling moth larvae 
developed this year and damaged the fruit since August 20. 
Moths are still emerging and a spray program carrying three 
cover sprays following the calyx application did not prove 
effective in controlling the insect. Elsewhere in the State 
the insect is under control but has increased rapidly. 
J. J, Davis (September 22): The codling moth problem 
is a serious- one in southern Indiana. 
P. H. Lathrop (September 15): In laboratory studies in- 
cluding large numbers of codling moths, the emergence of moths 
declined sharply during the first week in September, showing 
that the larvae are going into winter quarters. This is 
confirmed by field observations. Nevertheless, considerable 
numbers of newly hatched larvae are still entering the fruit 
in the orchards about Vincennes at this date. 
.'. P. Flint (September 15): Eggs have been hatching during 
the first two weeks of September. Many apple orchards are 
showing an unusual amount of damage from very late worms. 
S. C. Chandler (September 15): There has been a general 
heavy hatch of codling-moth worms in the orchards of southern 
Illinois beginning -bout the 1st of September. Entrances were 
especially noticeable by September 7.
