by the green clover vrorm in the coastal plain section, there beirg 
considerably more larvae present in the fields than at any ti 
since the ait break of July-August, 1919? when complete defoliation 
was effected, 
J» J. Davis (September 30): The green clover -.vorra has been reported 
from Laconaa, Winamac, Lexington, Salem, Oarneltcn f and several other 
localities in the southern part of the State as abundant, August 25 
to Septerr.tsr 2, on clover, alfalfa, soybeans, and beans.

CODLING MOTH ( Ca mo causa y- omonella L c ) 
Massachusetts A* X., Bourne (September 23) 1 The second brood of the codling moth 
aj /parent ly will be vary small. This, we believe, is due largely 
to tiie extremely latn season which has held consistently throughout 
'he whole growing period, so that the' retarding effect of the 
cold, unfavorable weather in the spring is still noticeable now 
at the time of harvesting. This cold weather which so retarded 
the growing season early in the spring had. a very marked effect 
upon the activities of the codling moth, so that the larval hatching 
was drawn out over a very long period and was much later than 
usual. Consequently only an insignificant percent of the larvae 
matured in time to form a second brood of moths.

J. 0. Pepper (September 8): The infestation of the codling moth 
at Walhalla might te considered heavy and later than usual. Some 
trees have been banded with burlap bags and from U to 50 larvae 
have been found under these bands. 
Bennet A* Porter (SBptember 25): Ac previously reported, unusually 
serious in southern Indiana. In a few older orchards, where the 
worms have become abundant in previous years, the crop is nearly 
a total loss, and tie injury appears to be on the increase in the 
best-cared-for orchards. 
J. J, Davis (September 30): The codling moth has increased notice- 
ably in southern Indiana and the problem now confronting Indiana 
apple growers is very serious. 
VI* P. Flint (September 20): Adults of the codling moth ceased 
emerging in southern Illinois on September 8, according to S, C* 
Chandler, and at Urbana on August 27. 
S. B» Fracker (September ll): Apparently less troublesome than usual 
in northern Wisconsin, serious in southern.
