New York. D. W, Hamilton (June 2U) : Weather conditions in the Hudson 
River Valley during May retarded the unusually early development 
of the codling moth so much that at present development appears 
to be normal. Peak activity, as determined by bait traps, occurred 
from May 31 to June 2 f which is the same time at which similar 
activity occurred during 193^ and 1937« Larval entrances -were 
found in the fruit as early as June 4. Entrances are hnrd to find 
in well«»sprayed orchards, most of which are less than a week old. 
Weather conditions have been favorable for development during the 
last 2 weeks.
